Lindsay,
I really do appreciate any bug reports you post here. Sometimes it seems like nobody is answering but the open source project is not the first priority in our lifes. Please keep testing and reporting, because these bugs will be fixed as soon as possible.

The text below is NOT meant to be any kind of criticism in any kind of way of either OR os its developers, just making this point clear.
I apreciate everyone has other lives, also not doing much testing of OR in recent times as I am waiting to find out what will happen with the prime mover (locomotive, DMU's etc) "physics". The physics for these appear to be dragging behind the rest of OR's progress. Of course a number of serious problems exist for this part of the development. The first is there is VERY little decent accurate performance reports of any loco's particularly of early (saturated steam) steamers, these being effectively non-existant. The second being very few of the population correctly understand the workings of the machines involved, for instance how many people could give any kind of description of the Diesel electrics control system. An interesting point on this is you have a look around the net for the existance of ANY kind of mechanical simulation say of any kind of engine, only a handfull are in existance and most of these done duite some time ago.
My own expirience of locomotive performance is that a lot of even of the rail sim population are not that interested in accurate performance, just so long as the thing moves, :lol2: :( :(. Still working on my own sim though because of the lack of progress in OR in this area.
