Scenic items missing

[Stuz]

Hi,
I have been running a few routes with ORTS to see how the new system works and in MLTs Rogers Pass there are a lot of trees missing in places but present in others. On the Shuswap there is a bridge missing although the track is present and can be negotiated. On MLTs Rogers Pass the consist in the activity started with only one loco when there should be five. On the Feather River Route the activity started with the loco on the back of the consist pushing instead of on the front pulling.
The Scenic Sub in the one activity I have run the scenery is there and it runs well.
I am wondering if there are known faults with rendering some scenery items. It does seem odd that some work and some dont.
The ones that do work really do show off MSTS extremely well. I am pleased I decided to give ORTS a run. I am looking forward to the next release.
Regards Stu.


Edit The activity that did not have all the Locos in the consist was the Scenic sub Westbound coal

Hello,

Do you have World Objects Density set to 10 in the Options menu?

[Train-a-Mania]

I think that's because MLT used the "Gantry" function to place some of its scenery. I don't think Open Rails can recognize gantry items yet.

[Stuz]

Yes, the object density is set to 10. Just on another point. Is it in the plan to incorporate a zoom feature on keys 2 & 3? It would be nice to be able to get a little further away when outside.

Use the Page up and down buttons to zoom in and out.

Thanks

Edit: My apologies, browsing further back I see the missing loco problem is because of the way ORTS reads the consist files and is being remedied in an upcoming update

Stu, if you uncompress the route world files, I believe the missing scenery items will appear.

The world files in Rogers pass do not appear to be archived. The terr tex and tex files are archived with WinRAR

Edit: I have just read about this in a post on UKtrainsim. What is the difference between archived and compressed? How do you uncompress world files? I am confused about this!!!!

You can use RouteRiter to uncompress world files. This is different from the Winzip/RAR compression of the entire route when you download.

Hi Chris,
Thanks. I will have a look at that.
