I was able to compile using 3.6, but it appears that I am getting Thread errors. This could be coming from runactivity since the menu comes up fine and the hang takes place after selecting an activity.

Error: Orts.Viewer3D.Processes.ThreadHangException: Thread 'Render Process' has hung; the consistent stack trace is shown below:

Paul and Dennis,
thank you for appreciation and interest. I foresee to provide OR MG updates when there will be some significant new function available in OR or MG.

Edward,
I didn't experience thread hangs. I must say however that usually I comment out the watchdog control to avoid watchdog intervention when I perform line-by-line debugging.
3.6 has another problem, that is it generates crashes at game start in low-performance computers (like mine) allowing only MultiSampling less than 32. So I jumped to subsequent development versions, that have solved this problem.

What is wrong with MultiSampling less than 32? Maybe this computer doesn't support it?

[Csantucci]

Goku, if a computer does not allow at least 32 as multisampling, MonoGame 3.6 crashes, see here http://community.mon...3-6-0-1625/8819 . This has been fixed few days after 3.6, see here https://github.com/M...oGame/pull/5477 .

Here you can download OR release 3976, Monogame version http://www.interazio...e/OR3976_MG.zip .
Apart from having an up-to-date release of OR here, this version solves one of the remaining problems: it provides correct screenshots when pressing the Print key.

Thank you for your continued work on this Carlo.
Could you also supply your latest "Dev Kit" as well. I have many personal updates to OR and like to test the Monogame versions with my updates applied also.

Here is the kit

After various trials I was able to solve also the other open problem, that is the 2D cabview that didn't darken at night.
Simply unzip and replace this file within the Content subfolder of your OR_Monogame folder.
 CabShader.zip (1.41K)
Number of downloads: 380

Same file must also replace the original one within the DevKit, in folder Source\Runactivity\Content.

So I don't have other open problems that I am able to reproduce, because I'm not able to reproduce pixellation (if this problem remains to someone).

[Goku]

I have stupid idea how to "solve" pixellation. If it appears only if dynamic shadows are disabled, then maybe just always render dynamic shadows, but empty scene if dynamic shadows disabled? xD
