    Roads sections and roads missing

    After searching the OR forum, I did not find out why certain road sections and roads do not show up in my routes such a Surfliner 2, NEC4, and others. I did read about uncompressing W files and tried that using RouteRiter. Still no roads. I have the object density at 10, viewing distance at 4500m, but that isn't the problem as scenery detail is great. I'm sure it is something stupid as is usually the case with me, I'm getting frame rates between 30 and 60, so my system doesn't seem to over taxed. Oh yeah Win7 and MSTS is installed as per the tutorial in Steamforme.

    Do you have Newroads installed?
    It may be needed by some of your routes.

      Newroads is definitely required for Surfliner.

      Look in your OpenRailsLog.txt file after running an activity, and you'll see all the shapes that aren't being found....

      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!

        I finally got around to installing New Roads 4.0 again and I had the sense to read the install instructions, especially the part about payware route usually using the default shapes? Roads are there again. Fascinating what happens when one reads the install instructions. Familiarity breeds contempt.
