B&O West End R.R. environmental problems

[patric]

Hi all,
I recently downloaded B&O west end v08 route (4 files: route, terrtext, data and sidings update) and installed in msts (open rails). Everything seems to work, except the terrain; the tracks and ballast are present and very detailed, the trees in the woods are very nice, but the ground between and near the tracks is light gray and uniform and trees grow from this surface, as are the light gray patches between the trees on the mountains, when, I believe, they should be green grass. Evidently, I made a mistake during the installation of the route, following the various "readmes" to the letter.

May be my poor knowledge of the English language may have had an impact; so I'm forced to ask for help, thanks in advance.

Hi patric,
May be you haven't installed the Terrtex pack - bowestendterrtexv08.zip ?

Cheers,

Hi Ged,
thanks for the quick response, but I did install "terrtext".I'll try to reinstall it again; I'll let you know.

Cheers

As per read me in Ver. 1 <The route's status is as follows:
- v1 only limited non daytime summer scenery is included; night/winter scenery will be included in later downloads>

I also have a problem with the MILW Idaho Division where there doesn't appear to be winter textures for the terrain at all!

johnnyboy99 - I think you'd do much better if you start your own thread with this problem as it refers to a different route.
Also, may I suggest that you remove "I stole payware" from your profile - it could get you banned.

HI all,

I tried to reinstall Terrtext.zip with no results; the environment remains the same. I'll try to download terrtext again and I'll let you know.

Hi Riccardo,
You say you tried to install Terrtex.zip again, but go 'no results'. That isn't the correct file name!
You need to unpack bowestendterrtexv08.zip and, following the readme instructions, copy the files into a Terrtex folder which you have created in the B&O West End route folder.
I have just followed the supplied instructions and the ground textures appear to be OK.

Cheers,
Ged

Pretty positive that isn't on there by his choice. Appears to be about the same as "Trusted Uploader" and "First Class Member".

Hello dear fellow simmer from Italy.

Why would you try to download older version of the route?
Version 1.0 was released 2025-05-29 under filename "bowestend_v1.zip" in library.

Hi everybody,

I finally got it! I didn't realise there is a recent version of this route for OR only, which seems to work perfectliy and seems to be very, very nice.
Thanks again you all and especially to gammaray84.
