Hello,

I seem to have an issue with a couple of rolling stock using some accelerometer gauges.

The yellow bar seen going down should actually be going up, as the unit is accelerating.



The configuration for the following display is this:

Gauge (
Type ( ACCELEROMETER GAUGE )
Position ( 288 265 2 41 )
Area ( 0 0 1 1 )
Graphic ( ..//..//common.cab//cab471//cd_471_graftah.ace )
Style ( SOLID )
ScaleRange ( -0.71 0.71 )
ZeroPos ( 0 )
PositiveColour ( 1
ControlColour ( 230 249 133 )
)
NegativeColour ( 0 )
Orientation ( 1 )
DirIncrease ( 0 )
Units ( METRES/SEC/SEC )
)

You can find the cab for download here: http://trainset.simt...p?id=via_kabiny
It's the file called Kabina pro elektrické jednotky řady 471.

I believe the problem could be the " Dirincrease ". I think it should be 1 not 0 . That and the "Orientation " are usually the ones to change for different position and direction .
Mine usually go from left to right and are 0 and 0 . Try them separately and then you can see what they do - good way to learn for next time .

It's a bug in the OR, the MSTS it works without problems :)

Exactly like Howky wrote, it is a bug in ORTS.

I have tried to change the "Dirincrease" parameter and it does not change anything at all. It still shows the same wrong direction.

Pedro,
can you open a bug report on Launchpad for this? It shouldn't be too difficult to fix it.

[PA1930]

Hi Carlo,

It is done. :) https://bugs.launchp...or/+bug/1594676

Fixed in x.3574.

[PA1930]

That was quick, thanks Carlo!

Can you please give me a link for that version? The updater of ORTS only give me until X3573 (when I have the unstable updates).

Never mind, I got it from James's website directly. I'll let you know once I test it.

[PA1930]

Many thanks once again, Carlo! Works fine! :)



Just FYI: I saw a lot of wheelsleep warnings and wheelsleep when not even putting too much traction. It looked strange.

Another bug I've noticed for a couple of versions is the speed shown in MPH with a route that has km/h rolling stock and route itself. The Track Monitor does show the speed in km/h.

[Csantucci]

These are the lines that determine wether a metric or mile speed indication has to be displayed

 IsMetric = Simulator.Settings.Units == "Metric" || (Simulator.Settings.Units == "Automatic" && System.Globalization.RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.IsMetric) ||
                (Simulator.Settings.Units == "Route" && Simulator.TRK.Tr_RouteFile.MilepostUnitsMetric);

So it is metric if any of following conditions is satisfied:
- "Metric" has been selected in the "Other measures" option
- in the route trk file the milepost units is metric
- "Automatic" has been selected in the "Other measures" option and the Windows says we are metric (I don't know how Windows does manage that).
