ECML King's Cross to Edinburgh Route textures

[Forester1]

I wanted to see what this route looked like after traveling over it in the past couple of weeks. I am running TRS22PE build 132285, and heading north, probably just north of Stevenage or so, the textures started to turn into a sort of "reverse" grid, that is, a white with dark lines. The route does not indicate any missings or faulties in CM, so I am assuming some of the older textures are starting to age out?

Im the route builder of the ECML. There shouldnt be any missing textures. Its the same ballast texture along most of the line. Could be if you run the game again the fault clears. The screen shot of yours is just south of Hatfield at Sig 4A BR Post Std LHS 591. Is your version of the route - <kuid2:154322:101483:23>

Im updating the route presently so in a year or two it should be ready for release.

Hi @napierdeltic. Thank you for the quick response! Yes, that is my version of the route. I am going to try it in TRS19 and see if I get the same effect. I will also try it again in 22 and see if it is different. It could be that my GPU card is not keeping up at 90+ mph speeds as well. It was fine at lower speeds at the beginning. As I mentioned, the route does not list anything missing, so it may just be lack of graphic horsepower. I am still limping along on a GTX1080, although it seems to do well on most routes. ECML is a very large route, however, so this may be a false report caused by my own lack of resources.
On another note, if you are updating this route, I would love to see the same session using the Lumo like the one I recently took! Thank you for all the work you have put into this route! (Would probably fry my card!)

Try pausing. It could be that your video card can't keep up with the textures. I've seen this before when moving around on my big route from one end to the other.

There is a tunnel portal asset in that route that is packaged payware and is not on the DLS, I moved a different route that used it from one Trainz version to another and the asset showed up missing. I tried moving the asset by cdp and that doesn't work because then the asset will be faulty because of the encrypted textures. The only way to move that asset to a different Trainz version is to reinstall the entire route from the Content Store in the new Trainz version. The route takes a few minutes to install.

It's available on the DLS.

You can download it. Open for edit, go to your editing folder in Explorer and copy it elsewhere such as to your desktop and update the KUID version to :3. Revert the one you downloaded in Content Manager and import the one from your desktop if you copied it there. The process takes just as long as it did for me to type this.
