Default bumper replacement

[INRDfan]

Hello all,

I recently installed Open Rails, and though it is not by any means a major issue, I have run into something that I have a question about. Awhile back in my MSTS files, I replaced the standard European-looking bumpers with the Hayes model that required shape replacing and dropping files into the MSTS global folder. I didn't have issues with this in MSTS; the Hayes bumpers were successfully implemented in my MSTS. Now though, with OR, the default wooden bumpers are back. I am by no means familiar with the OR file structure or how it behaves/interacts with MSTS files, and I'm not sure how to swap these bumpers out in OR, or even if it's possible. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Did you replace the shape in your routes Shape folder, or your Global folder inside your train simulator root directory? I know sometimes that can be a headache.

Ahh... I installed a new route today, and it must have overwritten the replacement files in the Global folder back to the defaults. Got them switched out and the new ones are showing up again. Thanks!

I got tired of just having one or two choices, so I made a couple variations in Sketchup that I set the collision properties for. Now I just drop those onto the end of a 10m section of track to fit the need, i.e. a station bumper post, a couple of ties crossed, a Hayes wheelstop, or a pile of ballast with a red sign sticking out of it...
