White Void on the SoCal

[Big Boy 4014]

When I descended to the bottom of Cajon Pass on the SoCal, headed for West Colten, I noticed a large white void splitting the ground from the sky. Is there a fix for this?

The white void is were the distant mountains are too high compared to the terrain. Not sure how to change the altitude without making a new set of distant mountains and setting the proper height when doing so.

OK, Thank you.

You could carry out a test with reduced visibility. In MSTS, the visibility range for the standard terrain was also limited to 2km. If you increase this in OR, the distance to the DistandMountain is of course also greater and it does not have to be due to the altitude data.

Unfortunately, this test only made the mountains less visible and not the distant terrain, which is still floating.

It is a byproduct, when the one merges the routes.

I apologize that my guess was completely wrong. I didn't expect the DistandMountain to be built 50 meters higher than the standard terrain.
I have now downloaded and installed the route and can now confirm the height differences. After downloading the elevation data for California, I lowered the DistantMountain by 70 meters. Use the attached .t files for this. You should save the original .t files before importing. The terrain is displayed correctly in OpenRails and TSRE. MSTS is not executable for me.

Not sure if this will help you but I've been running all my routes with a viewing distance of 3300 m in Open Rails (Options>Video>Viewing Distance). Just wondering if this is the end of the route and that's why it just "ends" at the orange ar in the background.

That worked! Thank you very much.

charland It's around West Colten Yard on the SoCal, so that would make it roughly in the middle of the route.
