    O.K., will do, Carlo !

    P.S.: Oops, forgot to attach its Log, showing the start of it having been loaded before running it !

      Hi,

      This hole disappearance issue is indeed because OR doesn't support 4x4 or 8x8 tiles. There was a bug report filed on launchpad regarding this but that has now been expired because of inactivity of more than 60 days!!

      Here is the link
      We have downloaded "IndrailV2" route from Trainsim.com, it is an excellent route of Indian Railways by Arnab Sinha. We get no error when we are playing in MSTS. But once we start playing in Open Rails, in some part of the route it works correctly, but in some parts the land terrain textures goes missing. The same area when played in MSTS gives no error. Please look at this error and solve it. The OpenRailsLog.txt and some Pictures are provided.


      You can also see route creator's comment there.

      P.S. Why are you trying to run this in OR anyway? In my view, OR ruins many routes aesthetics in other ways as well.

        So here is what this route looks like in the RGE, showing the areas where terrain tiles are not showing:



        And here is part of my GOLD-SPIKE-X, no tiles split and no missing terrain problems:



        So is there anything that can be done to fix that ?

          And as I mentioned in the other thread, that is the problem, thank you Otto for the picture. I had to redo 4 tiles on the Monon-2 because I did the samething.

            First of all, Open Rails is a much more stable program than MSTS ever was. Yes, there are some aspects of route display that require attention, but OR is put together by people for free in whatever spare time they have.
            In many areas Open Rails has advanced so far that MSTS is like toytown. There are areas however where a stab in the dark has had to be taken because there is no way to verify how MSTS did certain things. In these cases, slowly by trial and error we arrive at a workable solution.
            Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.

              ORTS now has all the info posted in this thread, but do not think that they can do much about it reading and using these Split Tiles like MSTS can and in any case would waste a lot of time and effort trying to fix that just for this INDRAIL-2 route, only a few have !

              It would be like wanting to change the size of bricks after a house has been built !

              It was however interesting Sherlock Holmesing into that problem !
