i don't know either. I'm curious what is it.sigpic -
It's a feature that also MSTS has and that is used in many existing routes. A terrain transfer is a sort of a bedsheet with a specific texture, that can be laid over the terrain. It is often used at tunnel entrances, because "cutting" the terrain during route creation to create the tunnel "hole" creates a hole that is bigger than the tunnel entrance. So exceeding parts are covered with this bedsheet. It can be also be used to create e.g. the regular ground of a parking lot (grey with white lines) and so on.sigpicComment

The biggest advantage of transfers is that they follow the terrain, as opposed to building a flat shape with the texture on it for a parking lot... I've got some I've used for extending out ballast spill, filling in between the tracks, etc. as an alternative to using Mosaic. Haven't used them in a while because it wasn't working in OR, but now they'll probably make a comeback...If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!Comment

Transfers are very handy in MSTS. There are many, many uses for them. It is great news that OR has enabled transfers to be displayed in MSTS routes now.Andre Ming
