    Activity Editor for OR?

    Hi I bought a new computer back in Nov. of last year with more of everything so I could run MSTS without any problems.
    What a joke, MSTS that is, then I tried OR, WOW. Want to thank all those involve with its creation. Now my question is are there any of these people working on an activity editor for OR. I'm new to OR so if this question has been asked or answered please bear with me.

    Yeah, there's a WIP one that comes with OpenRails. Go to your OpenRails installation folder and open Contrib.ActivityEditor.exe

      Last I heard, work on it had stalled. Though I am far from the action here, I'd be happy to hear otherwise.

        You are correct, progress has stalled due to real world commitments of the person who was coding it. Nobody available to take the project on.

          You can use msts activity editor if it will run on your PC and those activities should show up in OR.You can also use the timetable feature of open rails as a substitute in many ways for AE.

            Not tried timetable yet, but from my understanding of it, it takes time to set up, like an activity in msts. The big difference though is if you use player engines on the lead of every consist used you can run any consist in the timetable, at the time it is due to start in most cases. The basics of timetabling are to be found in the OR manual.

              If I had coding knowledge, I'd be thinking of taking this on -- but I don't.

              So -- it seems as though we need to recruit someone who does to work with the open rails team.
