    TRSE Consist Editor Not Showing New Graphics

    I downloaded Paul Guasden's Shape Viewer DDS that came packaged by Scott Brunner. This was a breakthrough for me being a Noob. The problem is, even though I have a new graphic in DDS. I can only see the "old/previous" .ace graphics in the TRSE Consist Editor. I have the modified "trainlib.ocx" so Open Rails will read the DDS files. When I do add the item to a consist, the finished consist is shown with the new .dds graphics.
    Question is, can I remove the .ace graphic file all together once I place .dds graphics in the folder, or is there more to the .ace graphic file besides the graphics?

    UPDATE:
    I guess I answered my own question. I made a folder inside the Item, ( wagon/engine), and named it "History". I then moved the 2 .ace graphic files into that folder. The TRSE Consist Editor now shows the new .dds graphics for that item.
    I'm leaving this post up in case other ORTS users run into this issue.

    I'm pretty sure that as long as a DDS file exists where an ACE file once did, ORTS will load the DDS file... even if the config files still refer to an ACE file.

      Agreed. My problem, which was minor, was the TRSE Consist Editor would still show the .ACE graphic file. The item loaded into a consist would show the updated .DDS Graphic when Open Rails started up. So the "trainlib.ocx" works as it should. To have the Consist Editor show the .DDS files I removed the .ACE File from the immediate folder and placed it in a sub-folder as I described in my first posting.

        imageUpgrade = false will not show DDS if both ACE and DDS are provided....
