Hi all,
I would like to know if it is possible to edit an eng file, in this case the SP cab forward from 3DTS, to show all the Steam and smoke effects on that engine? What I'm asking is there a way to get all four cylinder cocks, the Dynamo, the air compressor, and the whistle to show in OR? currently I get a thin stream of smoke from the stack and two cylinder cocks. no whistle steam or anything else.

Yes to the 4x cocks, dynamo and whistle. The cocks are all on and all off, no alternative pulsing as the piston moves back and forth. Unfortunately, we have little control over the behaviour and look of the smoke and steam at this stage of development.

The cylinder cocks steam is defined in both front and rear engines already. The whistle is there as well in the front engine. There is an FX for drainpipe but I have never seen that working. These are to be found in the SteamFX section of the eng file. You could follow that format and try to add a dynamo FX. I would imagine that once OR has reached version 1 which is full MSTS compatability, then we will start to see the addition of OR specific items.
