Grey textures

[traej]

Hi there,
I have just installed the Milwaukee road RMD-1 V2. I am using open rails instead of MSTS. (runs better) Once I load up the route anywhere I am, There are some ground textures in the route such as track roadbed and some grass, But the rest of the route is grey. I have a image at the bottom. I have tried to fix this problem with my knowledge that I have already, but nothing else is coming to mind. I have all the default routes, in fact everything from the MSTS CD's. I tried reinstalling the route, nothing works. I have fiddled around with this route enough and I need some help from you guys. (please ) I am running a powerful computer. (stats will be listed at the bottom) I know this post is similar to the others that have been posted, but I could not find the answer I was looking for. I tried registering for the Elvas Tower, but a message came up saying "the admin is not accepting new memberships" (nice for me ) Your guy's help is much appreciated by me.

Looks like some Terrtex's are missing or corrupt. Does it display okay in MSTS? How many files in your terrtex folder? (mine is 99 plus one snow folder) The main one that you have missing under the harlowton yard area is scrubland.ace. Does it open in tgatools or give you an error?

The only other time I experienced bizarre problems with OR that didn't exist in MSTS was traced back to an OR updater failure, and a re-install of the fresh latest OR solved that.

When I try to load it up in MSTS, it crashes the sim on the route loading screen. Saying "Microsoft Train Simulator has stopped working". That sort of thing. I have 96 files in my terrtex folder. Could that be the problem? I do not have scrubland.ace. every other terrtex file opens up fine in tgatools.

Downloaded it from Trainsim.com. The file name is rmd1_v2a.zip. There are ten of these files. they part of a spanned zipped file.

I have just installed the Milwaukee road RMD-1 V2.

That is Lusser's 10 Zips download from this File Library ?

Getting it now and shall check it in ORTS later !

O.K. Let me know how it works for you and if you don't mind, could you take a screenshot of your first try? Good luck!

This download comes in 10 SPANNED ZIP files !

Having unzipped them all and having pasted their unzipped files into the same new folder, I ran its remaining ZIP and pasted its unzipped route folder into the MSTSBin ROUTES folder.

Ran its Installme.bat and had the Route Riter check the route.

It found no *.REF file and had it create one.

Let it check the route and apart from finding some missing Static Objects, probably used by the HIDEWIRE function, it found nothing else missing !

Created my usual explore the route activity and run the route in MSTS, generating Terrain Buffers.

No problems then run it in ORTS and again had no problems !

Shall now give it one of my wider trackbed Tracks-Changer tracks, the Railwaves track joint sounds and Kosmos environments and then have FUN, running my activity from East to West !

Here it is now in MSTSBin, having one of my wider concrete trackbeds, my Kosmos Environments and Railwaves, ready to roll !

P.S.: I think I prefer the light-grey gravel trackbeds !

Scrubland.ace is used almost 38,000 times in the RMD route according to Mosaic.

If you have the more recently finished route that covers the MILW non-electrified gap, the same scrubland.ace is used in that route as well.

Other than that, it must be something in your downloads or spanned zip extraction process.

Guys,

I have found the problem. (for me) I had to install RMD East to get my other files. The file is called rmd_ea_1.zip. (I think) It comes in 6 spanned files. This has installed all of the missing textures. I'm all good now, but thanks guys for trying to help.
