White lines in center of track?

[bc1326]

Can someone tell me what these white lines are and how to get rid of them?Open Rails 2015-10-15 07-37-33.jpg

As the picture is taken in Open Rails, this belongs in the Open Rails forum. That said, I have never seen those lines in Open Rails, so the addition of an Open Rails log might assist in diagnosing the problem.

Thank you, I will check there.

Please attach the OR log.
It's a text file on your desktop if you've enabled logging which you should do and post with every OR problem.

thanks,

It's a debug display, showing track details.
It's switched on and off using CTL+ALT+F6 (also see F1 key information).

It's a debug display, showing track details.

But uses different white lines than shown in the OPs picture !

Which camera view was used to take it ?

[Vince]

I dunno' OttO, I see the lines are there in the OP screen grab.

Not a very big screen shot in the OP, but comparing those lines with those generated by the debug display, they are not the same. You should see those lines carrying on along the locomotive.

You're quite right.
The display lines are blueish-white while OP's are white with vertical pips.

Now we wait for OP's response to Please attach the OR Log.
Hope it's soon!

Re; Asking for OR Help:
I'm getting just a wee bit tired of having to ask for a log, ESPECIALLY when there is no response. Sooo . . .
++ I propose a rule that any requests for Open Rails help MUST have a OpenRails Log Text file attached.
No log = disrespect = no help until we see a log.
cheers,v

Can someone tell me what these white lines are and how to get rid of them?

It could be that it's an electrified route, with the wire height set to zero, and double overhead wires turned on; but nobody here can tell for sure because 1) the route is not identified and 2) no logs have been attached.

In that case why does the upper white line stop where it does on the left ?

Hi,
I have been out of town so I was not able to respond. I am sending a copy of the Log and another view of the lines.
The route this appears in is shown in the Routes folder as Rollins Pass, but Open Rails shows it as D&SL Moffat Road.???Open Rails 2015-10-25 07-44-05.jpg

The route this appears in is shown in the Routes folder as Rollins Pass, but Open Rails shows it as D&SL Moffat Road.???

There are a number of downloads of this route in the File Library !

Which version are you running and what activity ?

You should add to your knowledge and understanding of both OR and MSTS, read this at Steam4ME:

Also here's the answer to your question about the different names...from the route trk file:
"SIMISA@@@@@@@@@@JINX0r0t______

Tr_RouteFile (
RouteID ( "Rollins Pass" )
Name ( "D&SL Moffat Road" )
Description ( "The Moffat Road is a standard gauge route that was begun in 1903 as the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific, working its way west from Denver over the Continental Divide via Rollins Pass. In 1913, the name was changed to the Denver & Salt Lake, and the railroad was extended to Craig, but never went beyond there. In 1928, the 6.21 mile long Moffat Tunnel was completed. At an apex of 9,239 feet, it avoided much of the terrible winter weather that was present on the hill route, which had a summit of 11,671 feet. In 1934, the Denver & Rio Grande Western completed the Dotsero Cutoff that connected the D&RGW mainline at Dotsero to the D&SL mainline at Orestod, and received trackage rights from Orestod to Denver. In 1947, the D&SL became part of the Denver & Rio Grande Western. In 1984, a pig farmer bought the D&RGW. In 1988, he merged the SP into it and changed the name to SP. In 1996, he sold it all to the UP.\n\n"+
"This route runs from Denver to Craig, 254 miles via the pass, or 231 miles via the tunnel. It also includes a 58 mile connection to Glenwood Springs from Orestod/Bond on the D&RGW, and a four mile connection to South Denver (Valverde) from Denver on the C&S through new south yards.\n\n"+
"I have tried to model the present day route as much as possible. But I have also put the old Rollins Pass route on top of that, no problem up on the pass, but down below it is a lot different now than it was then. I had to make compromises. Passing tracks are longer now than before, and a lot of yard track has been removed over the years. I've included the longer passing tracks, but have otherwise concentrated on providing trackwork as it was in the past. Having both the pass and the Moffat Tunnel, I am thinking in terms of a 1928 setting, or 1934 for the Dotsero Cutoff. This means steam facilities, more unpaved roads than today, and a lot less development in the Denver metro area. Before D&RGW took it over, the railroad was not allowed to use Union Station, so it used Moffat Depot, which stands vacant today. My route has both." )...."

The name of the route folder is also "Rollins Pass"

The name of the route folder is also "Rollins Pass"

Rather than sending those who are asking for help on a wild goose chase, I prefer to first test their problems on my WIN-7 Pro nVidea card's computer and if I do not get the same problems and can identify what is causing them then it has something to do with their computers and how they use it.

Hence me asking which particular download he has installed and what Activity he is running in ORTS !
