Grey passenger cars

[Komachi]

I remember seeing something about this being video memory related... Is there a fix within the program for this? My system is pretty beefy and by no means should be having issues.. Especially when my specs are a dual core Processor at 2.90GHz, 3GB RAM at 1.8 GHz, and a Radeon HD 6950. OR Graphics settings are as follows: Obj Density 10, Res 1600x900, View Dist 3000m, DM 1000km, graphics wise experimental options, extend object maximum viewing distance to horizon.

No problems found when running MSTS... Also occurs ONLY with this consist:

And only with the SUrfliner2 route.

I had the same problem on that route. For me it was the size of the textures on the cars, they were 4096x4096. I changed the cars for a set with smaller textures and the problem went away.

I had something similar happen a a couple of weeks ago with a tractor trailer in a carspawn. It went past once with no textures on the trailer. A while later I ran another test in the same area and all texture on the same tractor trailer were missing. And the third time I ran a test everything was normal. Hasn't happened since, so not sure what to say.

It's a memory issue with OpenRails, reguardless of how much RAM you have. This should fix the problem.

[baldwin]

Far as I know, it is not a problem to do with the motherboard ram, it is the Vram. Some of this is used by OR for calculations that MSTS does on the CPU. All the LAA thing does is allow the program to use more RAM, not Vram. Grey models in the scene is a sign that the video card is short on memory to display the textures.

[Komachi]

Geez seriously? My vidcard is STILL incapable of doing this with OR despite running a flippin HD6950?? That's a big disappointment.

[captain82]

It's not so much the videocard but more of the software OR uses due to its develomental status. It can be fixed easily though.

Still very much a WIP, still in beta, still releasing experimental versions, got a fair way to go yet. Refer to my post #5 and you will see the reason why a number of high res textures in the train do not work properly yet.

Ah ok, I see now.

I have had this same issue, it does not seem to be consistent and it only happens on Surfliner 2. I have also noticed another anomaly, as the train progresses along the route through the high road bridges area, I have had floating vehicles flashing across the screen. It only happens in that specific area where the train is climbing and the multiple high road bridges cross.

I will try that correction first and see what happens.
