Problem with SLI Seligman Route

[mikeaday]

There is something wrong with the track sections on the SLI Seligman Route when using Open Rails. They appear to be different sizes. Some sections are smaller than others, especially around switches. Is there a fix?

There is no fix needed here. Are you running OR with Super Elevation enabled? If so and if you don't have an appropriate track profile in the route folder for OR to utilize, the superelevated track sections will appear as old default track.

Set Super Elevation to "0". Problem still exists.What is an "appropriate track profile
" and where can I find one?

Changed Gauge M.M. to 1450. Problem solved. Thanks.

MIke, could you please explain this in plain English? I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Under the OPTIONS button in the startup screen, click on the Experimental tab.

You will note a readout for Gauge, the size of which can be changed.

I think that the default is 1435 (4'-81/2").

Thanks, Bruce, but isn't the US gauge the default 4' 8-1/2"? Why would you want to change it to something different?

Good point......I've never used anything else, to be frank.

1450 mm equates to 4'-9 3/32" (which is an unusual gauge) used in Germany, in Dresden, on a tramway.

Why using this dimension would "fix" a discrepancy in the Seligman route under OR is beyond my basic knowledge.
Maybe it calls up a suitable track section in the user's MSTS installation that OR can use.

I inadvertently changed the gauge while experimenting with the settings. Sorry!

Aaah!
That explains it!
