    Do ACE Files Still Have To Be Squared In OR?

    Do ACE files intended for sole operation in OR still have to be in a 64 X 64, 128 X 128, 256 X 256, 512 X 512, or 1024 X 1024 format like for MSTS?


    Thanks

    I know for a fact that you can use a 512x1000 texture in OR. Did one by accident... didn't realize it until the shape failed in the RE.
    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!

      For the reason stated by eric square textures are still required. After OR gets its own route editor things will probably change.

        You can use rectangular ACE files for a cabview, In high resolution cabviews (2560x1600) I regularly use a texture of that size and shape, saves a bit of memory.

          Cabview ace files have always been rectangular, it is just all the rest that currently have to be square in order to work with the MSTS editors.
