Tsre5 & dm

[NW 2156]

Hi Goku, I would like to know what DM created and textured in TSRE5 will not show up or work in MSTS? I understand this is a known bug in TSRE5?

Peter "Oliver2" is working on some fine updates for the Milw routes but the updates don't work in MSTS because the work is being done in TSRE5. I'd like to try and fix this issue so the Milw Road routes can still be cross compatible in their updated forms. ORTS still does not yet simulate the Milw electrics correctly or indeed that of articulated steam engines. For which I still use MSTS.

No, this is not a known bug.
1. Make sure that distant mountains are enabled in route trk file. MSTS requires that for DM.
2. Use new forum.

Goku, The problem is not with DM but the way images are applied. The method TSRE5 uses for allowing texturing of distant mountains does not work in MSTS.

I think the problem isn't with the textures. Here is why I think that:

I've recreated the whole process on an other route which I have backup of.
1. checked the original DMs in MSTS: works.
2. deleted the LO_TILES folder and created new tiles with TSRE (just a few clicks)
3. Left the default terrain.ace textures on the new DMs, no satellite image applied this time.
4. checked it in TSRE, works.
5. checked in ORTS, works.
6. checked in MSTS, no DMs at all.

Do DM tiles need -e, -n, and -y terrain buffer files like regular MSTS tiles do? If so, they won't show up right in TSRE, because TSRE only generates -y buffers, and on occasion -f buffers. I think -f s are for terrain gaps?

Travis, For them to work in MSTS it appears they are required. I believe that is why your route, Oliver's Milw Updates and Arc light's routes all failed in MSTS. Simply put TSRE5 is not backward compatible with MSTS without this issue fixed.
