    Cars in train


    When Operating a Train and Looking out the Engineer Side Window Toward the Rear of my Train I only see part of my Train and not the Whole Consist.
    Is it an OR Thing or is it A setting in the OR Options Window I need to Change?
    Thankyou,

    Are you on a curve?

    We will need a bit more info before we can really help you. Some info and a screenshot or two would be even better

      When I look out the Window Towards the Train Behind me on a Curve. Also From Position 3 Looking Towards the Front of the Train I only see Part of the Train.
      In Positions 4 and 8 the Whole Train will Roll by. But the Home View Towards the Rear and Position 3 looking Forward Only Give a partial View of the First 15 or 20 Cars Only.
      So Far I've Noticed this on Sandpatch, Bridge Line, Hereford, Tehachapi, Florida Funnel and Others.

        Post your OR log for a run in which you observe this.

          It Happens on Any Run on Whatever Route I'm using. It Doesn't Show Up On the Log.

            I did not ask for the log file because I expected to see something that said "Cannot display more wagons". I asked for the log to see where you had the options set. Specifically "ViewingDistance = (user set)"

                Mine is at 8000 but 3000 should allow you to see more than 20 86ft wagons, so that is not the cause.

                  LODBias might be the cause. The slider for this is located on the Experimental tab in Options. If this is not set to 0, slider in the middle, strange things can and do happen with the visibility distances of objects.

                    I Reset my Viewing Distance to 2000m and that Improved Everything. I'll Keep Adjusting that Setting and see How it Works.

                      Track: what value do you have in the "Experimantal/Super-Elevation" option? If anything other than "0", and you don't have a track profile created for the route, you may experience this. Try 0 is you have any other number.

                        Yes, I noticed this while doing multiplayer in Open Rails. Will check what qballbandit and baldwin suggested.

                          Very good point.

                              A lot of these problems in OR can be traced to hardware issues...the log also will provide info about your machine specs to those wishing to help solve your problem.

                              You have seen what happens when you make some adjustments in the OR/Options...a lot can be done to compensate for less than nominal machine specifications.

                              What are your machine specs?
