Open Rails v1.5 is here

[cjakeman]

It's been 13 months since Open Rails 1.4 was published, so I am very pleased to announce that the Stable Version 1.5 of Open Rails is now released.

Details have been posted on the website and there is also a 5-minute video on YouTube.

A big "thank you" to the guys that make this possible; admins, coders, testers, bug reporters and everyone in the community who gives us feedback.

Big Thank You! I most often use the weekly testing versions but this is most appreciated.

Is anyone else having problems with Rail Driver and v1.5? I can only throttle up to notch 5 or 63% of power.

Thanks

Just curious, does this update the Monogame version or is that a separate entity?

Monogame is a separate branch being developed by Carlo Santucci...Monogame aligns with the main branch and unstable branch --- but contains features not found elsewhere in OR. I've never clearly understood what those features are.

The new stable version 1.5 does have the capability to use ReShade...the new features incorporated in the Ver1.5 are listed on the OR website.

I've noticed, tracks now seem to be a bit more "Grainy"?( to me ) now in this version, but the other "Stuck over" ( almost like MSTS did when It passed certain buffer areas? ) seems to've left now too. I mean, prior versions had some areas that if you weren't careful, seemed there was like a "Sticky" Extra camera between the tracks & cars. But, other than the track, it seems nice. Far better than Prevs.
