    OR Bug

    Found a bug, and I've tested this on multiple trains, routes, etc. When in trains in the #5 view(Tested with the Superliners, and many many BLW stock trains), looking ahead, cars are fine. However if you look to the REAR of the train, well... This says all.



    What's going on?

    I never had this issue before-maybe it's something I did incorrectly

        Just a guess that the alpha sorting is getting confused, and wants to ignore all exteriors, not just the car it is located in...

          That's my thought too, but wouldn't that affect cars in the forward-view? looking towards the front of the train, this error doesn't exist. Only towards the rear.

            Try editing the consist file, and change the UiD's for the coaches to number high to low... Does it now affect the forward cars and not the rear?...

            Could be something as simple as "If car UID is greater/equal than...." as opposed to just equal to....

              We are aware of some alpha sorting issues with the layers of water; this may be the same problem but in another place.

                It's definitely alpha issues, I just got the genius idea to try a #5 view without a .s file, thus, no alpha channel windows. ZERO problems.. Other than I'm floating in mid air. Haha.

                  Well, things keep getting more interesting. I am still having this bug, with stuff like the BLW Train Sets and such, but the new SLI Amtrak Southwest Chief 2012 Superliners? This doesn't happen to them..
