Early Guilford in ORTS

[PORU333]

Downloaded V 0.645, and I am pretty well happy. It runs a lot smoother than the previous version I had installed. And I truly love the new menu set up. Very easy to work with. After figuring out what to wait for (BC brake value to hit 0) I was able to get running, and get some pics.

This is from an Activity I am piecing together for the Bridgeline. Final version will have a GP39-2 running in the consist as well, Also, will require doing some car shuffling in the B&M Mechanicville Yard before proceeding to Rotterdam Jct.

Shawn,
With Dynamic Shadow enabled they will be rendered based on the ambient light in the scene, even in rainy or snowy activities. For heavy overcast activities, I generally turn them off as you cannot really notice them, anyway. Reduces the impact on the video card as you've experienced.

Secondly, the amount/size of smoke is controlled by the ENG definition, so that's why you're seeing different effects on the ENGs.
