questons about ORTS

[birdo]

Hi guys,

I downloaded ORTS for the first day some days ago and started playing with some italian routes. They can only be played in explorer mode, so I can't see how far I am from the next station. Missing stops is annoying so I'd like to know if there is some way I can see the distance from the next station or if I need to create an activity. In this case, can anyone teach me how to use the OR activity editor? (I do not have MSTS)

Thanks in advance.

The lack of station location in explore mode is something that needs to be looked at sometime. The MSTS activity editor is the only one at the moment.

Best thing to do is look for some activities for those routes, which also means adding equipment to run the activities with.

As I recall, stations ( platforms ) in MSTS Explore Mode did not show either.

I looked in my Open Rails directory and there I found a file named Contrib.ActivityEditor with the OR icon so, are you saying it doesn't work yet?

They do show in MSTS Explore, thin blue cross bar for each platform along the route.

I stand corrected . . . you are correct. I apologize for posting something I thought was but obviously was not true.
I fired up the 'Sim' and sure enough the blue bars are there in explore mode. Been a long time, 2 years since I last used MSTS in explore mode on a route with platforms.

Betcha' if someone puts in a bug report through channels it's gets fixed pretty quick.
That's why I'm committed to Open Rails.

There seems not to have been many reported lately, only 1 fix having been released with the X ones since the 8th of July, reported via ET !
