Roads in OR 1.4

[kknobl]

Recently starting back into the world of OR/MSTS after a fairly long while.

I'm noticing, particularly on SLI routes (Green River, ATSF Selgman 2.0), that the roads are either appearing in patches or entirely non existent. Gates and all other scenery is present, just not the roads.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Everything else is perfectly functional so far, this seems to be the only anomoly. I appreciate any help.

Thanks!

I have noticed this as well, with some of the older payware routes, and some of the freeware routes such as the FJ&G v2. I thought maybe it was due to the global shape folder itself searching for .dds textures, but I've converted all the road and track textures to use .dds instead of the installed .ace, so I am unsure what the issue is here.

That's the problem, 1.4 is having trouble with .dds files. The files in FJGv2 are ace files like the route was created in. I have no trouble with roads in ORv1.3, v1.4, or v1.5-rc1, or ORNYMG 131 or 131.1.

Thanks for the input gents...

Glad it's not just me. I've messed with various routes - the latest SLI/TS routes are fine, Monon, and Surfliner have been fine as well.

Is there a way to download an older version or just wait for a fix?

Thanks!

I've noticed on a few routes that the road sections need lifting slightly in TSRE to show above the grass etc. Same thing applied at a few crossings too.

Hi

I have a question, probably asked in ignorance,
have you checked the box "Load DDS in preference to ACE"

Or perhaps you should not have, I have problems deciding which
is required for some routes.

If memory serves me right.
This option is for IF the folder has both .dds and .ace involved, it will choose the .dds texture as default.
It will not choose if there is no .dds available, it will still use the .ace file.

[charland]

Yes, in 1.4 you can check the box so if there is dds and ace you will use dds.

In the test version v1.5 this option is not included.

I think I figured the issue. Ran a test on Green River and so far so good. I appreciate all the help!
