Hi you OR experts on ET!

Well, maybe I have all odds against me: I'm new on ET, I'm new with OR and I'm danish... :oldstry:

But I'll give it a try anyway! :rofl:

I have heard of OR some times before, but until now I did not try it.

But with the release of the 646' I think that now is the time.

So I have inst. the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 3.1 and I also have a newly inst. working MSTS, so far only with the standard routes, but I have a lot of routes and other stuff from my earlier MSTS-inst. but want to try OR on a "clean" MSTS.

Unfortunately I can't start any routes in OR.

When I try to start a route it ends up with this window:

Any suggestions on what can be the problem?

Have you enabled dynamic shadows? It looks like your graphics card doesn't support the method OR uses for them.

Thanks for your reply James!

No it's not enabled.

Here is the results of dxdiag:

My grafic-card is Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family, could that be the problem?

Yes, your graphics card is not sufficient to run this release, sorry. It looks like we might be trying to initialise a small part of dynamic shadows when they're disabled so it might be possible to run a future release.

That sounds like a good idea, Pretty sure I'm not the only one with that problem.

But now I have inst. OR on my new pc with win7 - 64 bit and it runs smoothly and with no problems at all!

And my RailDriver works fine as well. :rotfl:

;) for your help!
