OpenRail turnouts (dutch regulation)

Hello All,
I have been checking the turnouts in OpenRail that are by default inin OpenRail and if they are corresponding with our dutch client regulation for heavy rail.
About this i have a few questions.
According dutch regulation:
•turnout GW R195 1:9
•turnout GW R260 1:9
•turnout GW R465 1:12
•turnout GW R725 1:15
•turnout GW R800 1:18
•turnout GW R2250 1:29
•turnout SW R390 1:9
•turnout SW R1200 1:15
•turnout SW R2000 1:20
•turnout EW R204 1:9
•trunout HEW R204 1:9
•turnout KRS 1:4,5
•turnout KRS 1:9
•turnout KRS 1:15
if i look in OpenRail at the standrd GW turnouts i get this list.
this list of turnouts is not correct
•turnout GW 54E1  R2300 1:34,7 NG (not longer applied)
•turnout GW 60E2/40 R769 1:18,5 (not longer applied)
•turnout GW R800 1:18 (missing)
•turnout GW R2250 1:29 (missing)
for the turnouts SW, EW, HEW and KRS is the list complete.
Other issue i found is for the turnouts types KRS

for example turnout KRS 1:4,5
it seems that the branches are not correct in length. They should be 9,6075m but are 9,5286m
if we look at the XML file we have of this turnout you can see the correct ratios and lengths but when placed it is giving ohther measurements
If you look at the export the numbers don't match up anymore.
XML
Export
 
questions then.:
1. Will the turnouts be updated so that the ons that are missing are implemented?
2. Can the turnout KRS types have a check so that they are within regulation?
For us to use OpenRail for trackdesign these should be in order. Our workaround is that for the missing tunrouts we use an xml-file that has the turnout information so we can place the correct turnout but i think these should be correct in OpenRail. Whe have not yet figured out the reason why the KRS type turnouts are going wrong.
Also a link to another thread from my collegue about workspace but also a little about turnouts and export of them.
An other commment i have is about the export of the turnout information
for example turnout GW 54E1 R195 1:9
this information is nice but is not what the client wants to see if we deliver them an XML/IMX file.
At the moment we are thinking of making a tool ourself to get all of the informtion that is needed.
Probally we will have contact over this in the nearby future.
Best regards,
Ariaan
