    The sun in the picture??

    I am not sure if that sun is the right one or too big to run in Open Rails. Here is below with the screenshot of Trainsimulations BNSF Seligman Sub. I did try to find the file in file library here and no luck. What I did is to type sun and came up empty there. I am sure there is one file download for the right size sun for Microsoft Train Simulator. I am not sure if that is the right size sun show in picture.

    Found the file download here now but the sun file is ACE in ENVFILES Textures temporary folder and their (Trainsimulations) sun file is DDS in ENVFILES Textures folder. Will that work to replace the DDS File with ACE file or not?

      Yes. Orts will use whichever one is in the folder.

        Actually Open Rails uses a different sun that can be found in Skyshader file in Open Rails Content folder.....Open Rails ignores the envfiles folder of the route unless the use MSTS environments is checked in the options experimental page.

          So if that box is unchecked then OR automatically uses its files......is that correct?

            There is no actual sun graphic in OR, unlike the moon which has a graphic.

                This is incorrect... OR uses some of the info in the EnviFile... for example, the water textures and layers.... and it does not need to be checked in the options.

                  This gets more confusing as the thread progresses!

                    Ok I stand corrected.....I forgot about the water textures.....Open Rails does use the water textures. But for sky...sun...and moon it uses it's own unless the msts box is checked
