Far distant scenery not appearing.

[prr4ever]

For some reason, since I installed the last two Friday updates to OR, the sim only paints detailed scenery for about 500 meters in front of the train. I have not changed any graphics settings. As the consist moves forward the details fill in but only for the same short distance.

I have tried this on 4 different routes, always the same.

Running the same routes and activities in MSTS there is no problem with far distant scenery.

ORS video settings are view distance 10 k meters. Distant mountains are set for 80KM

This has been my standard setting for months.

Taking one route example, Green River, the activity starts with the train already in motion. At that point the distant scenery is visible just fine. Viewing outside forward from camera 2 after the train continues forward for 500 or so meters the distant scenery drops out and the rails as well. Roadbed is there no silver rails anymore except for about 500 meters in front which then fill in the same amount as the distant scenery as the train moves forward.

I would suspect my graphics card at this point except it has previously been working fine and still does so in MSTS.

Latest log attached.

User set target frame rates can have that effect, but as you have not had problems before this, Don't know. 3277 works OK here with no scenery dropout.

Scenery drops out.

I think I will mess a little with the target frame rates. I have not changed them from what they were when it was working but who knows? Does the attached log help at all to pinpoint anything?

[baldwin]

Log does not suggest anything. My first thought was the LOD slider but that is at 0. Try just turning the target frame rates off first.

Also, if you are getting some goofy issue that nobody else sees, it could be an issue where the updater didn't work as planned. Stick it in your hat that you might want to fresh install the latest complete X version.

Far distantscenery.

Thanks guys.

I have considered deleting and reinstalling OR but that will be a last resort.

Baldwin, I will try what you suggest, might not be today. Weekends are pretty busy around here but week days are slower since I am retired and the wife goes off to work.

Definatly be on this on Monday and maybe even yet this weekend for a while.

Baldwin,
Your idea hit it right on the head. Reduced the target frame rate to the lowest possible (10). That "fixed" everything. Scenery draws perfectly and I now have rails on the ties in front of me. Always the simple things that fix problems....

My system normally gives me an FR of 30 or better anyway.

Maybe an admin person would find it useful to lock this thread as I do not recall this specific problem being mentioned before.

Thanks for your help Baldwin! Much appreciated from all who posted.

Hi
Had the same problem last year, the only thing I had to do was UNTICK "Automatically tune settings to keep performance level".
Worked like a charm.

cheers, Bob

Opps... I missed it on a search also. Guess I did not set the search up quite right.

Anyway it is now corrected and I thank all for the help.
