Missing scenery objects on Sherman Hill

[Curt C]

I'm running an activity on the Sherman Hill route, and for some reason am not seeing the scenery-objects (rocks and bushes) that I am seeing when I am in Explore-mode. I've included screen shots to illustrate my point. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running an activity on the Sherman Hill route,

Since you did not bother with telling us WHICH activity you are running or post your OpenRails Log file, the only thing we can do is guess at what the problem is.

First guess: The activity is set in Winter and Marc has yet to release winter textures for those shapes. So check the unnamed activity and tell us that if my first guess was correct or not. And have you followed the installation step #2 in the Sherman Hill Readme.txt file?

BTW a similar post was made on the 3dTrains forum and the OP reported Problem corrected by upgrading to a more current ORTS version.

My apologies for being vague. The activity is the DW Produce Express, which is set in Autumn. I have followed step #2, as well as reinstalled the full-build and the most recent update. I saw the post on the 3dt's forum, and have reached out to the poster for assistance, as I couldn't locate his solution. I have the most recent version of OR.

That is a limited edition activity, so hard to duplicate.

..... Can you explain what that means? Is this a DW activity and if so does that mean that DW have produced a stock pack and activities for Sherman Hill? "Early Investors" (like myself) in the Beta release were lead to believe that a possible stock pack from SLI would be available. Later I read (rumour or fact?) that DW would make one.

Although I've been distracted by other recent finished releases I still have Sherman Hill sitting on my box waiting for future/final developments. I've checked DW web site and have seen no mention of either stock pack or activities.

The activity is one of three activities DW has made for the Sherman Hill route. They are available from the DW member's website, not from the (old) public website. The activities use DW rolling stock, including material from recently released sets which can only be purchased via the member's website. If you do not have access to the DW member's website you can send him an e-mail using the "contact" button on the public website and ask him to set up access for you.

Was your explore set for Autumn? Have you checked the other conditions that the Activity sets to see that you are comparing Apples to Apples?

I've got it taken care of. Thanks for any help.

So, for the benefit of those who might seek the answer later on, how was your problem fixed?.

Yes indeed ....and even if you did something daft STILL report it because you won't be the only one making that mistake!

... and attaching here the OpenRailsLog.txt file you get when you are stuck into problems may enable others finding the solution...

So, what did I do to correct? Kind of difficult to say exactly. As much as I like and enjoy this route, and it's only going to get better with future updates, at times it seems to have a mind of it's own. I went ahead and (once again) reinstalled the full-build and the latest update (05.04.18), then I re-uploaded the latest version of OR. As I mentioned originally, sometimes when I'm in "explore" mode, I see scenery objects (overpasses and boulders, for example), that the next time they're missing (?) I'm sure there's a reason why, but it still baffles me why in "explore" I saw things that were not showing up in the activity. I'm certainly not an expert, but it would seem to me that the activity is running in the same route folder, so the same scenery objects should be present.
