Hi Derek,

Good catch.

If you can suggest some text/images, then I can get them added to the Manual.

MilePostUnitsMiles or MilePostUnitsKilometers can be used in a .trk file to nominate miles or KiloMeters to be used as the measure of distance when running within a route.

Hi Team,

Was trying to find above in the manual dated 16 August 2024.

Can't find it, it appears in a number of routes.

Hello.

I think the reason you can't find it in the manual is because it's a 20-year-old MSTS feature.
But it would be good to pick it up because all jokes are new to a newborn. Those who are just starting, or who started a few years ago, may not know what it is all about.

Sincerely, Laci1959

Please note, the Manual does not have a section just on Route Features, although there is one on OR-specific Route Features.

I'm proposing to add Mileposts to the Manual section for Open Rails Options as follows:



Is that OK?

Good for me Chris.

Thanks, Derek.

I'll submit it.

Hello.
Here par.8.2.3.5 incomplete sample of code provided:

Cylinders11FX (
    -1.0485 1.0 2.8
    -1  0  0
    0.1
)

Yes, that's correct for individual effect's definition, but all them should be placed into
Effects () block and SpecialEffects() subbloock for wagon effects, or DieselSpecialEffects()/SteamSpecialEffects() - for locomotive - related entries.
What I highlight in red is absent in Manual, so should be guessed for now.

Vapor3D let me know that in paragraph 17.4 of the manual (parameters and tokens) there is a link to this spreadsheet https://tinyurl.com/orparameters-excel . However after entering Microsoft username and password (which not everyone has) a message appears stating that either the content was removed or the access authorizations are lacking.

In addition to make the file again available, I'd suggest to locate it in the OpenRails site or in the Source\Documentation folder of the git repository, avoiding external links and needs for specific authorizations.

I have written to the author and creator, RR1 (John Brady), to see what can be done.
