Many thanks Carlos! I appreciate very much your reply. I will continue to follow this thread and take your hand picked versions. I assume openrails64.exe is the one to use if we want true 64bit operation.

A huge thanks to you and the whole development team for the hard work and dedication to this project. Openrails stunned me as such a giant leap beyond Bin-MSTS when I began using it a few years ago, and I feel the same is true now having seen what the Monogame version can deliver.

Especially with the state of the world right now, its a wonderful escape and I am so genuinely appreciative.

Thanks and stay safe!

Revision 56.2 of OR NewYear MG is available.
Instructions for web server:
What you can do now to test it: check the general options checkbox Enable WebServer, and start OR. If you type
http://127.0.0.1:2150/index.html
in your browser of the same PC where OR runs, you'll get a web page with the OR HUD.
You can display the same page also on other PCs, or devices like an Android Smartphone or TV box, or an IPad. In this case however, within the Command prompt you must type ipconfig; you will get some lines as reply, and one of them is
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.114
So, in such case, on the browser of your external device (being in the same internal network of your PC) you will have to type
http://192.168.1.114:2150/index.html

Revision 55 of OR NewYear MG is available here http://www.interazio...loads/index.php .
It is aligned with unstable rel. U2020.02.19-0151 of the official OR, which already includes Monogame. To see what the official unstable release includes, check here https://james-ross.c...&utm_medium=app . It is also aligned with testing version X1.3.1-123.


The list of additional features to such unstable release present in OR NewYear MG is as follows:

- addition of track sounds in the sound debug window (by dennisat)
- F5 HUD scrolling (by mbm_or)
- checkbox in General Options tab to enable or disable watchdog
- increase of remote horn sound volume level
- when car is selected through the F9 window, the car's brake line in the extended brake HUD is highlighted in yellow (by mbm_or)
- improved distance management in roadcar camera
- signal script parser (by perpetualKid): reduces CPU time needed for signal management
- true 64-bit management, allowing to use more than 4 GB of memory, if available, in Win64 systems (mainly by perpetualKid)
- general options checkbox for optional run at 32 bit on Win64 (to avoid slight train shaking bug)
- added translatable Train Driving Info window (see http://www.elvastowe...post__p__251671 and following posts), by mbm_OR
- 32bit running set as default, to avoid 64 bit shakings and flickerings
- inserted extended Raildriver setup, as present in OR Ultimate (by perpetualKid)
- set Simple Control and Physics option as default
- bug fix for https://bugs.launchp...or/+bug/1858298 Sound problems when viewer not created in initial conditions
- analog clocks showing game time, see http://www.elvastowe...station-clocks/ , by jonas
- bug fix for bad mouse pointing in full screen mode and for issues with Fast full screen-Alt-Tab mode
- allow display of special characters in web client, by mbm_OR
- support for AWS TCS scripts, see https://blueprints.l...-of-tcs-scripts : enable AWS TCS
- further improvements and additions to WebServer, including Train Driving Info, by mbm_OR
- panto commands and animations now swapped when in rear cab, see https://bugs.launchp...or/+bug/1867782
- further additions to support of TCS scripts, see https://blueprints.l...-of-tcs-scripts : enable SCMT+RSC TCS script
- NEW: improvements in Activity Evaluation of station stops, by mbm_OR
- NEW: further additions to support of TCS scripts, see https://blueprints.l...-of-tcs-scripts : enable Spanish ASFA, by cesarbl

Instructions and additional files to use the AWS TCS are available here http://www.elvastowe...post__p__255510 .

When running on Win64, the player can select if he prefers running at 64 bit or 32 bit. In this second case RunActivity32.exe is run, and only a maximum of 4 GB of RAM can be accessed by OR.
Note for developers: Runactivity32.exe is not generated by building the pack, but manually doing a copy of Runactivity.exe, renaming it Runactivity32.exe, and using on the Developer Command Prompt command corflags with the modifier -32BITPREF+


NOTE: ReShade 4.3.0 or older or ReShade 4.5.2 must be used, or ReShade 4.5.2. ReShade 4.4.2 doesn't work here. See here http://www.elvastowe...mg-and-reshade/ for an installation guide of ReShade.

When running on Win64, if you are running OR at 64 bit (option not checked) you must point ReShade to OpenRails64.exe; if you are running OR at 32 bit (option checked) you must point ReShade to OpenRails.exe.

It is suggested to unpack the .zip using 7zip, if other unpackers lead to problems.

Revision 55.3 can still be downloaded from here http://www.interazio...loads/index.php (click on OR_NewYear_MG_oldrecent.zip) .

Please take note that the download link for OR NewYear MG has changed to http://www.interazio...loads/index.php .

Rev. 56.2 is available at the usual download address (see signature): it includes some improvements by cesarbl, that enable writing the script for the Spanish ASFA TCS.

I have a small problem when using the most recent revision with the Raildriver. I noticed that when I engage the bail-off on the independent brake, it stays engaged and can only be reset when I press the bail-off button on the keyboard. I also noticed on both versions, the automatic brakes don't go all the way into emergency braking when moving the handle all the way up, but just stays in cont. service.

Hi Carlo,

how you manage to have 4GB of memory for your versions? The problem is that the downloadable code of the testing version has only 2GB and is also much fuller when the sim just loaded the activity. Sounds like the downloadable code is 16-bit, but why? If it works like the U versions than my private version (featuring extended friction parameters) could possibly work just fine. The code being 16-bit or otherwise bad on performance is unfair (and quite offensive). That´s everything I could do if there is no interest in the extension in general.

[Csantucci]

curley,
I suspect that your second problem needs only a calibration called from the Open Rails RailDriver options page.
Re the first problem, I'm not an expert of bailoff, but check in the OR calibration procedure what is the position of the brake lever to get bailoff.

Nick,
if you get only 2 GB that means that you have a 32 bit operating system.

[NickonWheels]

No, I have a 64 bit system and 8GB memory space, but maybe the code can´t understand this for some reason. It´s quite sad not being able to use a private version.

[Csantucci]

Can you attach a screenshot with the debug info HUD?

I don´t know if this is helpful, there are various causes of crashing when in debug mode. The general problem seems to be lack of memory space though it also seems that these are not the code files used in official ORTS versions but some patched-up data from a long time ago, quite contrary to the open source nature.
