Space Route 1 for BVE 4

[tof63]

This picture has been taken riding Galaxy Railer 999 on Space Route 1.

Yes, it is a route for BVE 4!

The fantasy of Marchetto, the Italian author of this route, is by sure not limited to pizza and mandolino!

The route is available in the Download area of [a href="http://www.trenomania.it/bve/eng/index.asp"] Bvemania [/a].

This looks a fun route to try! Something completely different! But I've now downloaded it twice and both times, when I start it using BRR, the route loads but all I get is the inside of the spacecraft with the two astronauts looking at a blank blue window. There’s nothing visible. Any suggestions please?

Common graphics card problem with newer stuff. See if upgrading your graphics card drivers helps.

Oh dear, never mind. Thanks anyway Damon. My drivers for my integrated graphics are up to date but I'm buying a new graphics card some time in Jan or Feb and increasing my RAM at the same time. I'll just have to wait till then.

This route is really fun! It would be cool if you make it longer

Hiya,
I did a load of investigation into this problem for a user on my forum

The upshot of this is that your PC's GFX card is unable to handle transparencies where the bitmap is over 256 colors.

1. Use IrfanView to open the bitmap & re-save as 256 colors.
2. Then open it using paint, & use the tipper to refill the blue area with the pure blue from the color selector.
3. Re-save the file and you should be good to go.

(It may be necessary to do the handles in this manner also)

Cheers

Chris,

You're a star mate. I did what you suggested and ... I WAS GOOD TO GO !!! With my current integrated graphics I have NEVER enjoyed more than 30 fps with any route in 2.6.3. and, of course, never with BVE4. But strangely with this route in BVE4 I get fps up to 39 !!! For me that really is a first. Happy Christmas to you down there in Cornwall. Thanks again.
