OR - Inconsistant audible xing bell sound on some routes

[qballbandit]

Good evening,
I have 2 routes (2 that I'm aware of, anyway) where the xing bell .wav file doesn't play at all grade crossings.
Wouldn't the crossing.sms file be a global setting for a route? What do you think I should look at here?
I'll hear it, then not hear it at the next couple of crossings, then hear it - maybe...
I admit, I haven't looked deep enough yet to see if it's the same offending crossings each time I run the activity, but even if they were, what mysterious quirk within a route could trump the .sms coding?

Thanks very much,

Thanks very much,

Run the routes in MSTS and see what happens before blaming ORTS.

I used to run these routes in MSTS, and never came across the issue.
But, I'll play - same question applies for MSTS. What route quirk would trump the .sms coding?
