    Open Rails Default Flashing Rate Code For RXR Signals

    I remember seeing that Bruce Bridge's Signals & some others are set @ a Flash Rate that Open Rails doesn't want to read? But, you can change It to a certain number & that'd be fixed. Now, which number again & where do I go to adjust it?

    Travis Ebner has some grade crossing flashers, gates and miscellaneous goods in one of his downloads here on trainsim. The schematics for the flasher activation and de-activation, as well as gate raising and lowering, are included as a PDF in his download.

      TSRE should have those options on the left after clicking on the item whose properties are to be changed.

        The animation speed on Bruce Bridges shapes is a decimal number (2.5 I think), which OR doesn't like. The numbers I provide in my sets are a general guide I tend to stick to, which can be modified as you see fit

          Yep, for some reason OR gives a log warning about fractional animation speeds...value needs to be adjusted to a rate of either 1 or 2.

          I usually open up shape file in SFM and find the animation line ( usually provided in the OR log entry ) and change the number.

          I wonder if there's a coding reason that prevents the OR team from coding OR to ignore the ".5" and read the animation as either 1 or 2 --- you signal guys would know which is best....Which is better...1.0 or 2.0??

            I actually have your stuff DLed. I just don't know or understand nothing about how to get It swapped out( would love to ). For, there's another problem, but not too hard to ignore's small dots formed around The RXR Signs-Lights. I'm aware yours doesn't have it. Now that I know more about Open Rails I'm fine( except the Tech. & placements even with TSRE ). I lost prior way of PMing you once My last Account was hacked on FB( have different one now ) btw. You're & were a big help.
