I didn't see elsewhere in the forum announcements for that, so I'm writing here that the OR unstable official version (currently version U2019.07.29-1921) now includes Monogame.

[Hobo]

Carlo ! Does this mean that any of your improvements of the monogame version will now be included in OR ? So I only need one version now - just OR and not OR_NewYear_MG ?

[Csantucci]

Yes and no. If you click on "What's new?" on the OR menu, you get the list of the added functionalities, and there is a good amount, but not all, of the features of OR NewYear MG. It might be that I will start updating OR NewYear MG less frequently or even suspend updating. I hope that all significant specific features of OR NewYear MG will become part of the official OR, but this does not depend from me.

[dforrest]

Sounds good. Will the Rail Driver version also be added to the main OR soon, so that I do not need to have that installed separately?

[scottb613]

Hi Carlo,

Sounds great and thank you !

Question - since I'm finalizing a new build and have yet to load ORTS - for the benefit of those new to ORTS - when I load the base ORTS from the official site and switch to the "unstable" version - will it load the required software such as that AL Sound program ?

I'll try and be a guinea pig with this on the weekend when I get in...

Also FYI for all - Track Viewer is still not functional on Monogame last I checked...

Thanks...

Regards,
Scott

[Csantucci]

TrackViewer should be functional in OR NewYear MG. The needed patch isn't yet present in the official OR unstable version.

[EricF]

I'll also blindly (and hopefully) cast my vote for folding @perpetualkid's RailDriver support into the main Monogame unstable version sooner rather than later. It will make the RailDriver implementation available for broader testing and refinement.

The old default RailDriver behavior is almost impossible to go back to after using the improvements.

Over the years, I've settled on a preference for immersive controls for simulators -- Joystick and pedals for flight sims, Wheel and pedals for ETS2/ATS, and RailDriver for trainsims.

I've always preferred to keep up with the latest testing release of Open Rails - and most recently the Monogame versions , but not having the best RailDriver implementation kind of holds me back these days.

I posted this in another thread "OR NewYear MG" within Monogame Migration, but have been told this thread would be more appropriate:



With the new version U2019 I get an awful lot of mini-stuttering, which I don't get with the OR New Year MG version. In addition when I close the program this error pops up and the game continues to run:


HRESULT: [0x80070005], module: [General], ApiCode: [E_ACCESSDENIED/General access denied error.


There is a pull down error text too:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


There are no relevant errors in the openrails.log file.

Is this windows framework related, do I have to install or update something??

[Csantucci]

Since unstable official OR revision U2019.08.08-0951 Monogame is no more included. Not clear to me why.

perpetualKid chose to exclude it with the "not-for-unstable" label 4 days ago because of potential issues raised on the forums.

This is exactly what the label is for, but perhaps we need higher visibility on what things are being excluded from the unstable version?
