    .sd files and OR

    When doing some Gosskit 40 and 50ft boxcar conversions I realized that I hadn't included any .sd files to match the .s files for a few of the cars. I had already tested these cars in OR and everything seemed to work okay without having .sd files present in the folder. I guess my question is does OR require a .sd file or can they be omitted?

    Thanks

    Hi Don,

    OR does not require .sd files for cars or engines.

    Cheers,
    Uli

      Hi Folks,

      Just a minor point of clarification - one function ORTS uses an SD file for is the new Bell Animation code on locomotives - you can control the speed of the Bell Animation in the SD...

      Regards,
      Scott

        Some MSTS legacy tools that test vehicle completeness/integrity might be looking for .SD files since they were needed by MSTS. It just depends on which tools you still might use.

          Ok thanks for the replies. I think I will continue to use the .sd files.

          Thanks
          Don

            I'm pretty sure you need .sd files in TSRE.
