OR hidewire

[daniellouwrens]

Hi

I'm back again for more help.

I have spent 30 minutes looking for ' how to hide overhead wires'
in OR 1.5.1

I believe it used to in the experimental tab but I cannot find it anwhere
in 1.5.1.

I would appreciate any help or advice,

Regards

Daniel

Simple
Click on options on your start up screen
Click on the video tab
Simply check or uncheck the box for overhead wires

No, that's not what Hide Wire is. You use Hide Wire to remove non-electric wires over some of the tracks as in... you're modeling an electric railway that interchanges with a diesel railway. You use Hide Wire to remove the overhead wires from the diesel line but keep the wires over the electric railway.

Daniel... as far as I can tell Hide Wire works in OR. I had the Springfield Terminal open a couple of weeks ago when I was testing the SWs that had trolley poles and there was no overhead wires over the B&M trackage. You still need to remove it to be able to work on the route just as you would if you were working in MSTS Route Editor... you can't open the route to edit it otherwise. I didn't try in TSRE though.

Hi Paul

What I needed it for was an electrified route that had no gantrys just wire floating in mid air.

I unchecked overhead wires and swapped all electric locos for diesels and it looks much better now.
