SLI Issue

[Norfolk&Southern 1894]

Purusing the OR threads I see a reoccuring theme that I also struggle with. SLI models work and don't work at a whim. My SD's of all sorts will not animate lights or any sounds. My SLI Dash 9 has sounds but still no lights. My question is then two fold.

Lights, is there a known fix yet (yes I read through nearly every stinking SLI related question and found no solution)?

Sound, any known fix (other than putting sounds in that work on other, less remarkable locomotives)?

Lets make this a helpful thread for not just me but anyone looking to find solutions to SLI models.

Please, if you have a real solution reply, if you do not then start a new thread.

I experience NO issues with an SLI models including the vast amount of repaints based upon them. Which SLI model? There is more than one Dash 9 out there. Which pack or set?

I'm willing to bet you're having aliasing problems with sounds and or permissions issues since you're probably running OR under Windows 7 or 8. While OR runs like a champ under these OS as its a modern game engine, you may have file permissions that are affecting your trainset folder. Further you could have anti-virus issues at play deciding what it thinks is OK for you system to load.

Ditto.
(I didn't think it necessary to start a new thread in order to advise).

Can't help with an SLI problem, but I also sometimes have sounds that stop working after a while. Whether SLI or not, they're there at the beginning of a session but after a while some sounds stop working. It could be that it's because O.R. is still a work-in-progress. Looking at the log, there may be an entry line this: "Warning: Sound stream activation failed at number 768". Maybe something that I have to set on my computer?

Lights are another matter. While the lights do come on, the cone of light sometimes does not; and when it does come on it is searingly bright, brighter than day, and a real distraction. Strange shadows too. Could this also be because O.R. is still a work-in-progress?

This has been noticed also by others and a bug report has been filed.
