I have been using nothing but NYMG for about 2 years now. As far as I'm concerned, it's the overall "best" version of OpenRails--not as "buggy" as the unstable versions, laden with features not found in the "official" releases, regularly enhanced and updated, and Carlo is marvelous about addressing bugs and issues that pop up in MG. I'm glad that the other versions are out there and available, but NYMG is my "go to" OR platform.

I use the daily 'unstable' version, because otherwise, why are we here? This is where we come to test the cutting edge of OR.

I'm with good with both railguy and dcarleton --- use OR Monogame as my sim platform, try to keep with development by testing Unstable, it is sometimes hard to find the time. I also salute Carlos and his efforts. Truly, deserving some sort of official status. Leave that to the development team to figure out.

Thanks.

Open Rails needs people like you to use the Unstable Version and so flush out issues that show up only on your routes and your systems.

I noted your comment about under-counting and over-counting usage because you are counting ip addreses... is there any way to send a unique identifier with each download, something that can be submitted in return at run time so you get an accurate count? Essentially a registered serial number. When an update is sent toss the new UI if there is already one present.

Is Carlo's NYMG included the the numbers? I only use that.

@Chris
I wish, I could do the same, but currently no.
Latest testing versions make locomotive's too slippy to haul trains, but I don't have a minute to sort that new issue out.
Hence, I'm thinking to run previous version to spend 1-1,5 hours per month to enjoy riding up on favorite route and making some new screenshots.
Alas, for now it's so.

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like an adhesion issue.

Please contact steamer_ctn (Peter Newell) who has been working on this topic with others. Your feedback might be very useful and perhaps we can restore your enjoyment with the next version.

You can drag the time axis to see the whole timespan and the growth in numbers over that period.

Did anyone notice the peak in 2020?

I did, which is expected. Also - about the descent, since 2023.
On screenshot.
With tablet, graphs are invisible on discover/statistics page.
Only text (titles)

Thanks, Chris.
My Talkings with mr.Newell look way "complex", so I try to minimize them - my guilt.
