ORTS car rocking & swaying motion?

[NW 2156]

Just wondering if anything of the affect seen in the OpenBVE video has been accomplished for the rocking and swaying of the cars and locomotives.

I personally think with some refinement this sort of animation could be kinda neat to watch. http://ubuntumanual.org/openbve-trai...stall-and-play

I am not a programmer or expert to the masses. But I have always wondered just what the OpenBVE guys figured out that make the audio so realistic? No other simulator really depicts the effects featured in any of the BVE programs.

Neat how the rain hits the windscreen and how the blade can be seen moving. Hopefully when ORTS has dynamic weather we will have similar effects to marvel at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVdzplUDkD8

Open rails does have something like this - in experimental features. It's called vibration. You have to turn it on, then adjust it to the desired level (max, as far as I'm concerned) . . . which does require reading the manual to get right, though once youve set it, you can forget it. It's not totally realistic, but it is a considerable improvement over MSTS.

My wish for the vibration in ORTS is for it to come in affect starting ending an rocking at a suspension parameter max rate set by a wag or eng where a train at changing grades or new track section comes into effect like it does for curves make a impact based on conditions of friction, speeds etc. Some up/down or forward/backward cab vibrations would fit in well based on impacts of ones acceleration an deceleration just like Railworks on slack action... pointing in cab on how the accelerometer acts for comforts depending on if its smooth starting or hard starting an opposite for deceleration. Just look how the accelerometer an speed acts at times depending on your ORTS option slider % in "Adhesion Factor Random Change:" being a nice feature to play in this.

Good example to experience are comfort levels for a prototype set like a bad rider most crews hate an complain that I work with that are aboard SD90MAC or SD9043MAC's leaders an seen engineers bounce hard during switching. Crews prefer them on heavy bulk trains like coal since you can't accelerate too fast on those or get severe slack action unless you got enough power one has told me an truly hate them on autorack trains. Center of gravity plays in it too.

Anyone miss the challenges on some MSTS acts based on evaluation an consists cuts with durability level limits?

I was wondering about the durability issue. Has ORTS taken care of the issue of over sensitive durability in activities? It is always frustrating to get bad rating in an activity for exceeding train forces, causing damage to the load. I would work very hard keeping train under control with a load of stone or coal, and at the end if the activity it would say I exceeded train forces, damaged my load.

Just Curious....

ORTS does not have an end of activity evaluation like MSTS, so durability dies not enter the equation at this point in time. What ORTS does have is a much better method of calculation train position so no more broken couplers. You can use proper coupler strengths now, and a broken coupler will be down to bad train handling.

I hope they eventually get it to where you can build bad spots into the track itself and have the train react in the sim.. This video illustrates perfectly what I'm talking about:
