One thing with MSTS that really drove me to distraction was that train, speeds distance between stations and the times did not compute. It appeared MSTS calculated the distance the vehicle traveled incorrectly. This is certainly not the case with this current release. VERY GOOD, one can now run to a...

PS, If you want to have a look at some good 3d modeling of an object have a look through the "search for Sydney" web site. The HMAS Sydney being a naval vessel sunk by a german raider off the West Australian coast during the 2nd world war. I assume someone (RAN probably) have done a 3D model of the ...

Your replies have given much food for thought. Now I am not being pessimistic here (I think). What I am interested is accurate "physics" and train operation. What I would like to be able to do is to use the sim to find out why things are done in a certain way in the real world. I first got MSTS beca...

A train sim of course does mean different things to different people but. I am NOT saying high detail and beautifull rolling stock and scenery is bad but it is the order of the priority's. This being accuracy of physics. accuracy of operation then high detail IF there is CPU power spare. It is possi...

Just a bit of a comment, This person much prefers correct operations, train handling, "physics" and the route being accurate rather than high detail (these are not the same thing). High poly counts and real fancy multilayer texturing (eye candy) do not grab me at all. As some one posted sometime bac...

On very high detail sections it was a little jerky but the frame rate was way up on what MSTS did in a similiar spot. The latter route was tried with an Ansitropic and Antialiasing figures of X4. Do you wish for any tests to be done??? Will be happy to do them. Lindsay Did you get a chance to see i...

Thanks 'Zlindku'. Your notees in this thread are most interesting - as I am just in the process of speccing up a new PC, and from what I see it is looking pretty close to what you have. I am planning to use a i5-750 etc, but had been looking at the NVidia gt250 graphics card. - otherwise pretty muc...

That worked fine, the performance at 2560x1600 is excellent (understatement). I found for the first half hour I was getting a good touch of vertigo on some of the curves in the hills.On very high detail sections it was a little jerky but the frame rate was way up on what MSTS did in a similiar spot....

After a quite an effort I have managed to get everything installed and working. The system is, MB, ASUS P7P55D-E Deluxe Proc, i5 750 Graphics Gigabyte NVidia GTX 260 Superoverclocked 4 gigbytes RAM Samsung 305T monitor running at 2560x1600 Newly installed Windows XP Not the slightest problem getttin...

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....................... I got a bite, I am not trying to be smart or anything here. The reason for my previous post is to try and get someone to say something. It is in fact an example of well proven interrogation technique. One of the main benifits of open source is that if you d...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.................. no answer lets see what can be found out........................ A search found these two statements, Number 1: There are no readily available XNA properties or methods for setting the game window position or size or maximized state. Number 2: To maximize your window ...

Have XP pro here, service pack 2. XNA and OR installed OK. OR performs very well, Between 1.7 to 4 times the frame rate of MSTS.

Team ALCO has responded to my post should hear from them soonish.

I have a system here that has a Samsung 305T monitor connected to it this machine currently does not have Windows installed on it. Do the OR developers know if OR supports 2560x1600 or probably more correctly does the XNA framework support such modes. If there is a good likely hood that such is the ...

Matt has requested contact with Team ALCO, one of there members (mrdriver) hosts a web site "Australian MSTS workshops" I have left a message on the site to contact Matt.
