My idea for how this would work would have it similar to the way turntables are done, like this:
BellSound (
WFile ( xxx.w )
UiD ( xxx )
SMSFile ( xxx.sms )
)
What do you gents think?

There are several other enhancements that would be appreciated with regard to LevelCr objects, so pile this one onto the list.

That was kind of my idea. They wouldn't be called crossing.sms but something unique, with the default crossing.sms being used if nothing else is specified.
Carlo,
While it is a solution, there are a few issues with it, not least being that it will sound whether or not the crossing is activated. While it may not be noticed running at speed, if switching or stopped near the crossing or on a parallel line, the ringing crossing bell will stand out

Of course a more complete solution would be better. You could start creating a Trello box for it. Implementation should not be so terrible.

I have foreseen an additional optional string field within the LevelCr () block of the .w files. Such field is named ORTSSoundFileName. When this field is present, e.g.
ORTSSoundFileName ( "SpecificCrossingSound.sms" )
OR uses such sound for that level crossing.
Of course in theory every level crossing could have another sound.
OR looks for such sound file first in the Sound folder of the route, and then in the general Sound folder of Train Simulator.
To Goku: could you implement this in TSRE?

and turntables use a central-repository file (turntables.dat) to keep them all straight. It sounded to me like you wanted a central-repository for level crossing [sounds] as well.
Thanks for your continued hard work, Carlo.

Yes, here it is implemented: http://koniec.org/ts...RE5_v0.6941.exe
User must enter file name by hand, because there is a lot of files in SOUND directory, so list would be not useful.

OR has additional solution for MSTS RE users. You can have second .w file in OpenRails directory. But, better just use TSRE :)
