- improved distance management in roadcar camera
- signal script parser (by perpetualKid): reduces CPU time needed for signal management
- true 64-bit management, allowing to use more than 4 GB of memory, if available, in Win64 systems (mainly by perpetualKid)
- general options checkbox for optional run at 32 bit on Win64 (to avoid slight train shaking bug)

Instructions and additional files to use the AWS TCS are available here http://www.elvastowe...post__p__255510 .


Users having not more than 4 GB RAM are suggested to run selecting general options checkbox for optional run at 32 bit on Win64.

When running on Win64, the player can select if he prefers running at 64 bit or 32 bit. In this second case RunActivity32.exe is run, and only a maximum of 4 GB of RAM can be accessed by OR. If the computer has only 4 GB RAM, selecting the option to run at 32 bit on Win64 is recommended.
Note for developers: Runactivity32.exe is not generated by building the pack, but manually doing a copy of Runactivity.exe, renaming it Runactivity32.exe, and using on the Developer Command Prompt command corflags with the modifier -32BITPREF+


NOTE: ReShade 4.3.0 or older or ReShade later than 4.5.2 must be used. ReShade 4.4.2 doesn't work here. See here http://www.elvastowe...mg-and-reshade/ for an installation guide of ReShade.

When running on Win64, if you are running OR at 64 bit (option not checked) you must point ReShade to OpenRails64.exe; if you are running OR at 32 bit (option checked) you must point ReShade to OpenRails.exe.

It is suggested to unpack the .zip using 7zip, if other unpackers lead to problems.

Instructions for web server:
What you can do now to test it: check the general options checkbox Enable WebServer, and start OR. If you type
http://127.0.0.1:2150/index.html
in your browser of the same PC where OR runs, you'll get a web page with the OR HUD.
You can display the same page also on other PCs, or devices like an Android Smartphone or TV box, or an IPad. In this case however, within the Command prompt you must type ipconfig; you will get some lines as reply, and one of them is
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.114
So, in such case, on the browser of your external device (being in the same internal network of your PC) you will have to type
http://192.168.1.114:2150/index.html

Revision 65.1 can still be downloaded from here http://www.interazio...loads/index.php (click on OR_NewYear_MG_oldrecent.zip) .

[NickonWheels]

Hi Carlo, do you noticed your version includes the extended starting friction code I made. Nice.

[Csantucci]

Yes of course, Nick; but I didn't mention it because it is already included in the Unstable release.

[pschlik]

I hate to cause more trouble, but with more experimenting on couplers, I found that the patch to restore advanced coupler functionality removed the ability to break couplers.

Not sure how I didn't notice this when originally trying 65.1, but going back to 65.0 revealed that couplers will break, while they do not break in 65.1 or 66. I attempted to set very low break thresholds, but it doesn't matter if I specify ORTSBreak ( 10lb 10lb ) or Break ( 10lb 10lb ), my couplers have become indestructible.

Hi pschlik,
try replacing these two files in OR NewYear MG rev. 66.

That fixed it! Thanks again.

[Csantucci]

Rev. 66.1 is now available, which includes the above fix.

I got to say that this web server is really interesting to me, works really well.....
