Shouldn't we have an option checkbox such as "MSTS legacy" that would turn on all necessary options?
Hi Rui,
Yes, that approach will probably apply to a number of options. I'm trying to understand the scope of each one, so that will throw up any that should be considered as "Compatible with legacy content".
-----------------------------------------------------------
The next option is:
Manual entry:
The option is active only in activity mode.
I was puzzled at first as to why we have this option at all. However the manual text explains why it might be needed. The manual entry also links to a different section which explains how to override the option with an include statement in a <route>\OpenRails\<route>.trk file.
Isn't it interesting that with this arrangement, the route file is the master and overrides the user setting of the option? I think this was the behaviour that Peter wanted for an activity, so the activity creator could be sure how the simulator would behave.
I'll make a note to update the manual as that refers to the "Experimental Options Window" but it should be the "Simulation Tab of the Options Form".
Also, I fail to see why this option is limited to the Activity mode. Surely it should be available also in the Timetable mode?
