I hope my initial post didn't come across as a complaint; I sincerely hope that Mr. Nelson is okay, and that this is some sort of technical issue that we don't know about.

I didn't think to check the 3dTrains forum. Thank you for the information.

Hello all,

On 1-11, I made a purchase from 3dTrains and still haven't received the email with download links and the activation code. I have emailed their support, and Mr. Nelson directly, and...

After some more experimenting, it seems the best combination is to set the monitor's refresh rate at 60 Hz and set vsync within OR to on. The issue remains that motion appears blurry. I'm not sure...

Hello all,

I have not run OR for several months, and upon opening it today, I'm finding it does not run as well as I'd like. I have purchased a new variable refresh rate monitor since I opened OR...

Hello all,

I am attempting to "grow" grass on my layout, and my efforts have been less than successful. My entire layout is on a sheet of homasote. I have tried painting an area of homasote with...

I would mainly like to see a weather system implemented. I think it would be a good feature to have it be dynamic, and be able to change as time goes on. For instance, the weather starts out clear...

Hello all,

In attempting to configure AI spawn points in the BNSF - UP Southwest Region, I discovered I am unable to spawn from the vast majority of spawn points. There are only 5 points that do...

I always use prepaid "gift" cards for online transactions, Run 8 included. In the United States, at least, they sell them as "Vanilla Visa" cards, I believe, and I'm fairly sure they have a...

Great shots, Rick. While driving south through Orleans today, I saw that CSX has pulled the rails from the siding. :( Just one step closer to the southern part of the Monon being gone. I saw that at...

Hello,

I have a question about diesel locomotives equipped with K-14 brake stands, specifically how to recover from an emergency application. Is it the same process as the 26L, in which the train...

Hello all,

I'm redoing a layout, and have stripped it down to the bare plywood table. In its previous state, I chose to place the track, buildings, and scenery on the bare plywood. This time, I'd...

For my Run 8 purchases, I always get one of the prepaid "gift" cards that are available at just about any major retail store. I pay for them in cash, load up the amount I want to use for my online...

Hello,

I just purchased and installed Run 8 for the first time, being completely new to it. I also installed the latest update. Upon starting the "Busy Barstow" activity, I get tons of red...

Hello all,

I have noticed what appears to be a glitch in Open Rails with a particular locomotive, and am unsure of how to go about solving it. My apologies if this has been noted already; I...

I noticed that with that particular locomotive, opening the front angle cock dumps the brake pipe immediately, and the eq. reservoir follows, but it still seems to take the same distance to stop as...

I'm sorry to hear you're pulling the plug on this. That is a nice looking work of art you have there. Having experience with a GP16, I was looking forward to this. I do understand your decision,...

Hello all,

I am running OR version 1.1.1.3487, and am noticing that emergency braking does not seem to function prototypically. Is there a way for me to modify something so that this acts more...

Personally, I never use MSTS anymore, except for the route and activity editors. Part of the reasoning behind that is that it was SO unstable. I could be an hour into an activity and get a random...

I know it varies from route to route, based on the type of signals used. Some signals do not tend to cooperate with OR for some reason.

Started populating the route with switchstands. Thanks for the help guys! :)

Hello all,

When running the activity "Eastbound Merchandise" on SLI's Green River Sub, I encountered a cornfield meet somewhere east of Agate. While running through a 70 MPH zone on single track,...

Found the issue... An item near the bottom of the .ref file was missing a parenthesis... so apparently it was not reading anything below that point. Added the missing parenthesis, and now the items...

I did get an error with the switchstands I tried to add; it was something like "error, item line 2200. Object selection failed." Got rid of those lines, figured I'd come back to those later. Tried...
