    OR and Dark Territories?

    This is one of the things that I always wanted in a train simulator and have yet to be delivered, but can Open Rails handle player trains and AI trains running on dark territories?

    Yes OR can. DARv2 is 126 miles of dart territory connected to the CN which is signaled. To make it compatible with OR I had to replace the last signal with an "End" signal. No effect when running in MSTS.

      Oh cool, how do you manage to get the AI and player train to run together on the DARv2 route?

        The LIRR route ( lirr_install.zip )which I released last month is of course not dark territory in real life has about 500 track miles was released without any signals.
        Why?
        Because trackwork is not finished and installing signals + track = corrupted database files. So no signals
        The signals you see on the route are dummy signal markers showing where the 'real' signals will be placed.

        Running any activity in MSTS would be a disaster with no signals but running in Open Rails does quite well with 20 activities that run with tons of AI traffic does just fine. Enjoy!

        On the The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor there is a Tablet. On it is written:
        "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
        the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
        I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

          Well, when you set up the activity you run the player train, write down the time(s) you get to passing sidings, the add the AI traffic based on that.
