Flipping Terrtex textures

[landnrailroader]

Friends,

I have been putting new textures on a route, actually just copies of textures I have used many times in the past but now I find that the only adjustment function is apparently the ability to rotate a terrtex texture by 90 degrees every time you select it. Fine, we had that in MSTS but in MSTS we also had the ability to flip (mirror) vertical or horizontal but I can find no information about that. So, is it possible? The only alternative, which I can do, is to create more terrtex files that are "flipped" already when placed.

Hi Jerry,

Just select the tile [E].

Then the controls to Mirror X, Y - and Rotate work on the left-hand panel.

It would probably be nice to add an ability to randomly rotate textures as well - like Mosaic.

Now, I know senility is starting. I have looked at that left panel a gazillion times and not noticed those controls for terrain textures and they seem to appear whether you are in object or terrain mode. Oh well, what can I expect after 86 years have come and gone.

To be honest, I hadn't used that functionality until tonight. My routes tend to use photo texturing by default, so there's not much of a purpose to rotate or mirror terrtex.

Hi Folks,

Don't feel bad - I just figured this out in the last couple weeks.

Scale works too - but I can't think of how that would be useful.
