Yes, just stick the OR-intended file into an OpenRails sub-folder. No other text file should be required.

The "include file" trick comes in handy with the Open Rails files to partially rely on the original MSTS file content....but it isn't required.

Thank you. I will by trying this with the OR modifications for the MONON-2 route noted in post #302 at:

I'm not sure if it's written down anywhere, but any Simis text file should work just fine with "Include" statements in Open Rails, like Lindsay suspected.

I actually went through the source of Openrails parser routine and found it as you said general to "Simis text files".

How good it would be, in my opinion, for MSTS/OR compatibility, if any file in the OpenRails subfolder of any MSTS folder, with the same name as a file in the parent folder, is used by OR in the sim.

MSTS compatible file in the parent folder which would be used by MSTS.

OR compatible file in the OpenRails subfolder which would be used by OR.

AS others have said, this should already apply in the majority of cases. Please do let us know of any cases where the "OpenRails" subfolder, or the include functionality, are not working as you'd like.
