Gaps under rails

[WCL]

So now ran into another issue, why all of a sudden on some of my routes, start having these gaps under the rails?

What version of Trainz are you using? Trainz Plus has a HD option - have you converted these routes to HD?

From the image it appears to be a spline height issue and not a texture issue. So my first solution would be to use the Smooth Ground Under Selected option in the spline context menu (Surveyor 2.0). There is a similar command somewhere in Surveyor Classic but it has been so long since I used that interface.

It can also be the 'shadow quality' setting in launcher/performance. Any higher than 'medium' and all the gaps under rails will show black throughout the route.

Or, possibly nearby PBR. As a simple test change the nearby grass to a TS19 type such as FR9 (on DLS). I have grown tired of all the black streaks and chasing each one. So I switched to FR9 grass totally. Other nearby PBR elements will put their "bubbles" under the track as well.. Thus a nearby PBR asphalt will cause the streaks.

My guess is that it is either an issue that has to do with pbr, or is just a bug with the game that hasn't been fixed. You may have to go through and fix it manually.

Looks like the work of ground hogs.

Simplistic, but it just looks to me like the ballast underneath is uneven?

@WCL >>> I see a second roadbed spline under the trackbed spline. You likely just need to edit the spline points in the lower bed spline, or, add a section of that lower bed spline in parallel to fill in the gap
