Diesels West U-boats - abnormalities with external graphics

[seagoon]

I noticed these quirks when running DW u-boats tonight (route is the Feather River route but the anomaly appears on any route).
They have become semi-transparent in some areas.
Interesting.

Judging by your system specs in your signature, Bruce, I would wager it's your PC.

Seriously, what video card do you have and do you have the latest drivers installed?

I think his specs are posted beneath the pictures. Looking at those specs (if they are correct), he needs a new system.

Bummer!
I just knew that one day I'd have to upgrade to Super VGA.

Marc, it's running on a Toshiba Satellite with Nvidia GeForce GT525M.
Drivers as originally supplied.

EDIT: Downloading update now so will see if the anomaly exists after they've been installed.

UPDATE:
Nope....no difference with the new drivers.

These locos appear fine in MSTS - even with the original drivers.
They are the only examples of any rolling stock that I have which display as they do in Open Rails.
It's certainly not a problem as I don't use the external viewpoints often.

I just discovered that this effect does not manifest itself in the standard OR release, only in the new X-file.

My guess is that they're using a peculiar material in the .s file. Are these payware or the freeware versions? Can you decompress them and find the textures section of the .s file and look for something like TexDiff or BlendaTexDiff?

Or something...

Payware from a few years ago now, Robert.
Unfortunately I have no idea of how to go about decompressing the .s file.
