    Traffic in OR vs MSTS... Question!!!

    Hi could you please clarify this question regarding to Open rail activities

    In my single track route with sidings for meets, when I ran an activity in msts sometimes I waited for traffic and sometimes the traffic waited for me

    I noticed that in open rails with the same activity in the same route the traffic always wait for me

    Is this a coincidence? Or does open rails is set up to have the traffic waiting for player always??

    Is it possible to set up activities in open rails to wait for the traffic???

    Thanks for your help

    The manual contains all information needed. Traffic in Open Rails will not always behave the same as it does in MSTS. AI traffic will always run at the highest permitted speed at any point along the track, and the signaling system although using the MSTS files, works in a slightly different way to MSTS. As for always wait for you, probably a coincidence rather than normal.
    Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.

      Thanks for the Info!!

      Another question...,
      When you said "traffic always will run at the highest permitted speed" do you refer to the track speed limit or to the speed set up in each consist in the .con file such as "maxvelocity ( 37.00 0.75)"????

      Thanks!!!

        The speed of a train is limited to the lowest value based on the following parameters :
        - line speed (as set by route, speedpost or signal, as appropriate);
        - consist speed;
        - any specific max. speed values set in any .wag or .eng file which make up the consist.
