Can´t speak for third-rail (have never used a third-rail route in ORTS so far), and wire is both yes and no. It does have the wire following the curve, instead of acting like a polygon, but you can select if you want double or single wires.
Not clear what you are asking here -- there's nothing to define what is or isn't actually electrified, if that's what you're asking. That's a post v1.0 item that will have to wait for a new route editor and expanded properties for track.
If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!
Concerns about how the rendering of the conductor wire is handled. Hoping the wire is rendered more like the real thing. The wire is not down the center line but more of a zigzagged affair. Also the wire and the way it is pulled against by the mast while going around curves never looked right in MSTS.
The third rail has to do with the option for third rail with NO catenary present in the route. The actual rendering of the conductor rail would have to be done as a scenery object unless ORTS could be coded to auto place conductor rails?
As the main goal of Open rails was to achieve MSTS compatibility the aesthetics of things like the OHLE has taken a back seat. The wire as has been stated now follows the track curve. To do anything else would add to the processing load, so to have "proper" OHLE and third rail it has to be modelled at present. How electrified track will be dealt with in the future is still part of the ongoing discussions about the OR route editor and how track will be dealt with.
