    Eliminate Rogue Track Pieces

    While detailing my route, I've found these rogue track pieces. Unfortunately I cannot locate them in either MSTS Editor nor TSRE. Looked underneath and around the area, but it's the middle of a forest. Any suggestion to delete them manually or find them in TSRE?
    thanks in advance

    They are probably buried real deep. When this happens, I note the world file label and then open that file in ConText editor. Look for anything with a negative "y" value and if you find anything, change that value to a positive value larger than the terrain elevation. Then go back into either editor and you will see the item floating in space. Then delete it. I find this is more fool proof than deleting it in the ConText editor. I want to remember to do this with any route that I plan to submit to the masses so there won't be an item for the nitpickers. A good way to locate the world file is to open the route in TrackViewer, part of ORTS.

        If you try the testing version of TSRE, there's actually some logic that now will write those deep underground sections into the error message window, and you should be able to jump to them and delete them.
