" x_1600 Glitch"

Hi,..i noticed this after the x_1600 version was loaded,.. that part of the track texture, ballast/ties were missing!..so i went back to a later version, x_1477 and loaded this one and the ballast/ties were now showing up! so my question is what has changed in the code to cause this?..NOTE: all my settings are the same for both comparisons!..even when they were changed the result was the same! Any ideas guys? Thanks!

Go download x1605...x1600 is already superceded

Which route is that, your's or another one ?

Looks like either the terrain is too high or all the tracks are too low, none of the routes I have in MSTS doing that in X.1600 !

P.S.: No mention of a fix in V.1605 relating to this problem or other terrain textures problems, green patches now showing which do not in MSTS.

What route and what tile? I believe there were some changes done to alpha-sorting over the past few months to deal with transparent passenger views, but I've never come across issues like this with track and ballast.

Hi otto,..this is my own custom route! however i have no problem when i run the x1477 version,..so whatever was updated in the versions up to x1605 could be the problem! There is no way to know what file or code that is,..maybe if i new what settings to use when creating my track texture i can adjust this one to work with x1605 version! ..Maybe i'll keep tweaking the texture in Paint Shop Pro. Thanks for your input!

Hi it's my own custom route i've been creating for the past year,..i used Mosaic for my terrain texures, never had this issue until i started running Or x versions, to be exact Orv8 and all x versions up to 1477 all run fine!..but when i run any version after the x1477-x1605 i get the missing tie/ballast,... i'm just mistified,..same route, same graphic settings!..weird uh? You mentioned some changes done to alpha-sorting, (not sure what that is),..i wonder if it can be trimmed back a little. Maybe some of the Or team will see this post consider re-adjustment. Might just have to wait for the next update.

Hi..have filed bug report!

I strongly suggest to wait for a response from the OR team fore you go mucking up your textures. Save some grief for yourself.

No one else appears to be having this problem which points to something specific on your machine.

Hi,..i agree! Thanks!

I've noticed this in several routes when superelevation is turned on. Most notably the Monon Route. Evidently, when super elevation is turned on it appears to replace the curved section of track with a similar looking piece. When this happens, the embankement below the the tracks disappears. I noticed issues with DB tracks as well when superelevation is turned on. The DB Tracks double up. At least on the Donner Pass route they do.

Yes, this shows DB-Tracks in the Donner Pass in my version of DB-Tracks MINI routes.

There is no Superelevation in real switches !

No problems with Superelevation Off, I do not like anyway, not seeing much of it not watching locos running from the front !
