White lines in center of track?

[bc1326]

The one I have now is V5. I was in the explore mode, no activity.
This is a new computer with a new install of just about everything. I lost my old computer that had everything for the last 10 years on it.
I did read everything I could find and the new install was done according to the Steam for Me article by Uri Sos. I am on Win 7 Pro. Everything has been great till I installed this route. Actually, this is the only one I see on the File Library. Not quite the same as the old one. I also installed the 2 fixes. The first time I installed the route it did this so I reinstalled it and it still had the white lines.
The backup I had from my old computer did not copy everything over to the new one. The first new computer I bought came with Win 8 and I went up to Win 10. Nothing was working right. I took it back and got one with win 7 and it works so much better. However much of my old stuff has to be replaced with newer equipment. Some of the older payware routes have to be bought again. Some are ok but the ones that need CD keys to reinstall are lost.

Anyway, any help will be appreciated.

Problem solved !

The route's *.TRK file is Electrified with an Overhead Wire height of 0 (Zero).

Used one of my favorite MSTS Tracks-Changer tracks and an Overhead Wire height of -100 !

I am glad that I have downloaded this route because it is excellent to drive in and enjoy the scenery.

Here is a video of it, the first part running it from the East in MSTS and the second part running in ORTS.

Well Thank you Ottodad!

I never dreamed that would be the problem. I guess in MSTS "0" would not show as this did, but Open Rails is a new ball game.

I changed the track file to -100, and its now "more better".


Thank all of you for the help.

Has been a pleasure doing this !

Why you see this wire in ORTS is because it is adding a second one higher up, called the messenger wire, which supports the contact wire with down wires.

Undoubtedly you got that idea by reading post #10 of this thread.

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 !

Good for you, although, "wild goose chase" when applied to Steam4me's knowledge base that you have referred people to many times is an exaggeration.
Anyway, to my knowledge, currently there is only one Rollins Pass route in the library - comprised of the following files:
MSTS Rollins Pass/Moffat Tunnel Route V5
dwk50i.zip dwk50f.zip dwk50a.zip dwk50b.zip dwk50c.zip dwk50d.zip

Now the cause of the problem is identified, why bother with lowering the wire. Why not just change Electrified ( 00000001 ) to
Electrified ( 00000000 ) That gets rid of the wire without having to hide it. This method would be correct for Rollins as it is not an electrified route.

I have been using this method for years as I like to run my High-Speed ICE-3 Twin, which has no Pantos, on all routes when speed-testing them, like I have done in this route, running at 300+KpH and faster when using the accelerated speed Command Line switch with Ctrl-T in MSTS !

The PRR - Mid East, I helped to solve its many bad track joints problems, is using Batch files to change its *.TRK files as required to show its overhead wire at raised pantos height everywhere, albeit without Catenary supports !

HIDEWIRE is not an option because it interferes with the visual action of some switches !
