    Open rail settings

    I just picked up a new windows 10 computer and I was wondering if anyone knows what the settings
    are for the video, experamental and simulation.

    Or does someone have a link for these? I must admit OR looks even more amazing now.

    Here's mine, quite a lot depends upon your system, type and power of cpu and graphics card -- others will have suggestions, OR is robust and flexible, so experiment until you are familiar with the options and find something that works for you. Manual is good source of info for this subject.

      If you have any OR-only routes from TS, just use the settings they show in the documentation and customize from there

        Model-Instancing: I see so many people have this option checked. I have always had issues with it, where I get vegetation and certain other objects flash quite a bit when it's enabled.

          Well I did a Mix of Gerry and MRL it looks so beautiful and the testures really stand out now.I hope to in the next few days swith over to OR with Reshader. After I get everything reloaded. The price for the computer was worth it and this one will last for a few years.

                Dear Gentlemen,

                Never had an issue with OR since many years up to the new daily unstable releases.

                I noticed that there is a "Work in progress Monogame migration".
                Since then I have everething "Pixelated", steam smoke is in yellow colour, and my FPS drops to 8.
                I searched in many pages to see what is that problem and found nothing.
                Does I need to download some Mono libraries?

                My last good working build is "U2020.10.13-0651".
                Thank you very much in advance!

                  The latest unstable versions have a bug that is generating technicolor smoke/steam and other video artifacts .

                    The real question is as monogame integration continues, at what point does one need the monogame prerequisites installed?

                      Thank you very much Mr. Baldwin.
                      I'll stick with the version that works for me and we'll see what happens in the future.

                        What prerequisites?
                        I didn't know there were any.

                          I just tried Monogame today. Speechless. Try it.

                          There's a video for installing, and the only pre-requisite seems to be OpenAL for audio. The video pre-requisites come with the New Year distribution.

                          you can easily keep both traditional XNA based ORTS and new Monogame in separate application folders, but they'll share the same installed content and settings.

                            If you like MonoGame you'll love ReShade.

                              Hi Neil,

                              If the flashing you mentioned is when big chunks of trees or ROW vegetation flashes in unison - that can be fixed by changing the vegetation to DXT1 - with the black and white “transparency” alpha channels - the flashing comes from the sim trying to display the shades of grey “translucency” alpha channels. I’m not sure of the science behind it but it does work as I’ve “fixed” manny textures on different routes that had this issue.

                              Regards,
                              Scott
