Operations Manual - Open Rails

1. Start OpenRails.
2. Select the same route that the server is running.
3. Choose to Explore the route. (You can select an activity if it does not have AI trains)
4. Select a consist and start point.
5. Enter a user name as you wish to be seen by others using the server. (Maximum of 10
characters with no spaces.)
6. Enter the IP address and the port number of the server into the appropriate fields.
7. Click Start.
There is no built-in limit of how many players can connect--a server with good Internet upload
bandwidth can be expected to handle at least 10 client connections.
In Game Controls:
1. Once the server and clients start and connect, MultiPlayer status will be shown on the left
of the screen. You can watch how many players and trains are present and how far away
you are from others.
2. A player joined will have the same weather, time and season as the server, no matter what
are the original choices.
