Hello, I don't understand why the Dispatcher window won't run anymore. The window exists, but it's completely white.
I first had this problem on Open Rails 1.6, and now I also have it on Open Rails MG. As a developer, I need it for testing my timetable and tracking signals.
Thank you to those who reply. Have a good evening/good day.

I have no problems with the Dispatch Window in 1.6. I do get just the white background if I have moved far from the track, or if I am zoomed in too much.

You do see the controls (incl. the Map Customization button) and the clock (bottom left), right?

Actually, to be more precise, when I press CTRL+9 the page doesn't appear, but the tab is there, and when I click on it, it won't open.

This is an issue for me as well. Ctrl+9 gives me the red border showing OR isn't selected, and the map window tab appears in the task bar (running windowed), but there's no map window showing up at all in 1.6.

Based on the two posts from the both of you, it seems there's a problem with the position for the Dispatch Window, there's a thread on TrainSim about the issue with two examples of the solution to fixing the problem by both Roger and Jan using either the Registry Editor or the OpenRails.ini file.

Hello, thank you, I followed the steps and it worked.

For me neither editing the values nor deleting the entry worked, it was working until recently but then stopped. I do recell this issue as have happened before, back then i remember it was related to opening the dispatch window while in window or full screen mode as the reason for it to mess up. If ANYONE finds a solution besides the ones above that did not work for me, please let me know.

1) Please post the OpenRailsLog.txt file (on the desktop), or at a minimum the part containing 'Map_MapViewer = ...".

2) Please check if you are using an INI file (OpenRails.ini in the same folder where the OpenRails.exe file is), or the Registry.
