Hi Dennis,Still no luck, I'm afraid.
I am using the Burton Derby route v2.I re-downloaded X3152 from James' site and tried the route - it runs without any problem.I then downloaded your X3152 RunActivity.exe and RunActivityAA.exe files and replaced the existing files in the X3152 folder.Trying the same route again resulted in several error messages. Screenshots and the OpenRailsLog are attached.
As soon as the route loaded, Screen 1 was displayed, Clicking Screen 1 Abort returned to the Menu screen Clicking Screen 2 Retry got Screen 2 Clicking on Screen 2 Retry freezes OR - sound continues - only way out is via Task Manager Clicking on Screen 2 Cancel resulted in Screen 3, which then gave Screen 4 Clicking Screen 1 Ignore resulted in Screen 5 - clicking OK returned to Menu
Now, it's quite possible I'm doing something wrong! So please let me know :)
Regards,Ged

> Hi,
> In accordance with real-life practice, many MSTS models of steam locos with a Great Western Railway origin require the Small Injector to be open in order to release the brakes. This is not, currently, included within Open Rails with the result that it not possible to satisfactorily drive these locos. I say "satisfactorily" because after a comparatively long time (2 minutes), the brakes do release. This is shown at the top left of the OR screen against the Train brake entry where, when the value of inHg reaches 19, the loco starts to move (the maximum for this value is 25, which was the standard pressure for GWR locos). Typically, MSTS takes just over 1 second to release the brakes once the Small Injector is opened. When running in MSTS, the Small Injector is closed to conserve steam; the brakes can be applied normally when it is closed.
