What's wrong with this?

[cnw_lover2]

Okay, so I haven't ran this route in ORTS yet, so I fired it up in ORTS and for about 15 miles there is ground textures and all, then I get to a section and for the rest of the route there is no ground textures, is there a fix for this? I am running the newest ORTS version.

Max,
I don't see anything in the log file that's obvious problem. The route is the Clinton Subdivision here at TS, correct? Can you bring up the compass to see where you are in the route?

In addition, can you provide the video card specs of your system?
Thanks

[cnw_lover2]

Yes it is the Clinton Sub. I'm just at Cedar Rapids, IA (Beverly in the route). This is the only route this happens on.

We will download the route to better understand the issue.

The problem with the clinton Sub is that most of the tiles are cut into 4x4 instead of 2x2:

So what will need to be done to fix this problem?

[cnw_lover2]

Bump.

Either:

1. Open Rails is improved to handle non-atomic tiles properly like MSTS does.

or

2. The tiles in question on the route will need broken down as far as they will go in the Route Geometry Extractor, and then re-DEM'd and re textured, etc.

[longiron]

Open Rails is improved to handle non-atomic tiles properly like MSTS does.

This is not a trivial issue. If anyone in the MSTS community is willing to assist the OR team with support for non-atomic tiles, the team would appreciate the help. This requires deep technical understanding of MSTS tile data structures and willingness to work with a developer on developing a solution.

Yes, quoting to do something without precise instruction on how to do it are useless.

Tried to get J. Vansa (MSTSBin) interested in ORTS, knowing much about the binary code of MSTS and how it works, but ceaselessly working on MSTSBin first destroyed his computer, I then collected donations for to replace and then destroyed his health and marriage !

Hope that the same is not going to happen to coding members of the ORTS team, neglecting more important personal things in their life ?

Otto,
The main difference is Open Rails is a team, not an individual. Developers make contributions and take time off, as many do.
