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?

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.
