I am actually using TSRE5 v0.69761 and i am trying to place some speedposts. In the manual, there are no specific instructions about them. So i just place a couple to check if i was doing it correctly, like in MSTS-RE.
I have OR 1.3.1.4328. When i start my route for tests, i dont see the speed in the track monitor panel but the post are there, more like a scenery object than like a track related object and the speed is on the sign.
Since it is my first try at placing speedposts, i removed those speedposts and installed new ones, even changed my speedpost.dat using one that i know works in another route i have. Still the same results. I decided to see if MSTS-RE would give me the same results with those posts as it was in RE that i used them last and that they do work. I did install 6 posts with speed from 50 to 20 MPH and for Both, Freight and Passenger. Started OR with no expectations with first a freight consist...and the speed were on the trackmonitor panel...and only freight speeds were showing...i was still open-mouth when i tried OR with a passenger consist and the passenger speeds were there on the trackmonitor panel...
My question is: is there something i should know or care about when i use TSRE5? It seems so easy, first selecting Signals in the Object panel to the right, than Speedsign, then choosing the one to use, placing it in the middle of the tracks, indicating the speed, selecting Miles and selecting if it is for Both, Pass or Freight and than placing the post at the right location alongside the track and turning the post for the speed to be viewed from the locomotive. Is it all?
Thanks for your help...
