!! Working Turntable !!

[sidp]

The route "XTracksRef" that is available with the XTracks download has a working A1t27m turntable and a roundhouse included.
It is a handy route to use for testing the new turntable capabilities described above, because it is short, and starts with the loco entering the roundhouse.
Below are the files to be put in an "OpenRails" folder in the Route folder: (note that the .s file for the turntable has to be modified as described earlier - see Post #14).

The latest "unstable" version of ORTS: X3567 now permits turning around a single car (not a loco) placed on the turntable.

If I could include a historical note to this discussion. Some time in 2001, I'm pretty sure it was Jim Stevens who started posting pictures of his working turntable in MSTS. There was some glitch to it he mentioned but I don't remember what it was. He had a few discoveries he was eventually unable to share but as an MS Senior Engineer for MS and for what reasons I never quite understood he wasn't supposed to be talking to us about them. So major congrats to csantucci who finally got a working turntable.

The holy grail, for some of us anyway, is the Proximity Event that Jim also got to work in MSTS but again no one knew how.
