    An graphic oddity on the Moffat Tunnel v5 route.

    I downloaded and installed Don Karch's newest Rollins Pass/Moffat Tunnel route today, having used his previous versions several years ago.

    There is an odd graphic artifact I have not seen in any other route: down the middle of every track is a black horizontal line, raised above the ground and "sitting" on black vertical lines.
    I am assuming that this has something to do with the route creation geometry but why is it in the finished product??
    More importantly, how do I get rid of it....if that is possible?

    This effect is seen in both OR v8 and OR X1413.
    It is not seen in MSTS.

    Cheers!

    The description sounds like a partly buried OHL. The route trk file has it as electrified, Electrified ( 00000001 ). Try changing the 1 to a 0 and see if it goes away.
    Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.

      Hmmm, I'm not seeing it in V0.8, perhaps you could post a screenshot for us to take a look at?

      Thanks,

        That did the trick!
        Thanks for the suggestion.

          Sure, Robert.
          Funny how Mr. Baldwin's suggestion fixed it in my v8 and X1413.
          Here're the screenies..........

            Interesting, though, I'm glad you got it fixed! Actually, I'm not sure I have V5, I worked with Don on some signal beta testing, I may only have V4.

            Which reminds me, I have a little task I promised Don...
