    Updated Dynamic Track

    I'm trying to complete a Route project started two years ago and I need some help. Test runs on my new Route show that where I've used Dynamic Track, the rails show up but not the ties. There must be an updated version of Dynamic Track for use in Open Rails. Please help me find it. Thank you!

    I suspect that what you have is a incorrect texture file associated with the dynamic track. What I have noticed is that with dynamic track, the rails are not shaped like rails and are much narrower than rails on adjacent fixed pieces. So for me, this is just another reason to avoid the use of dynamic track when possible and with all the tiny bits and pieces we have in X-tracks it is usually tedious but not impossible. Most of the time now, I just use it to make a measurement of what I will need to replicate with fixed pieces.

      Hi Folks,

      For dynamic track - to match the track system you're using - you need to create a "TRACKPROFILES" in your routes root directory - then add the respective track profile (stf) to that directory.

      You should be able to find the track profile (stf) in the file lib...

        I'll look into that. One of my other routes does not have the issue so it may have the necessary file already.

          Hi Jerry,

          If you use one of Eric's default track replacement packs - I think he includes the track profile...

            I have seen that happen before, on my old (vintage 2010) computer. The dynamic track is generating the rails, but not adding the roadbed and the textures. If you save your game right before you get to the missing dynamic track, does the dynamic track generate when you resume the game?

            It would be helpful if you could attach the log, and the specs of your computer.
