How Do I Prevent This?

I'm using trs12 and I can't get my grass to stop disappearing when I zoom out a little bit, even though I have all the details set to max? I'm using these

FMA grass a 40m,<kuid2:9999:969500:1>
FMA grass b 30m,<kuid2:9999:969501:1>
FMA grass c 30m,<kuid2:9999:969502:1>
FMA grass d 30m,<kuid2:9999:969503:1>
FMA instant grass e 40x10,<kuid2:149987:37013:1>
FMA instant grass k 30x20,<kuid2:149987:37019:1>
FMA instant grass m 30x20,<kuid2:149987:37032:1>

Zoomed In Picture


Then Back Just A Little Bit
 
Looks like it might be from the DLS clean up, as it seems like there's a mesh missing from one of the LOD tree's, during the DLS clean allot of people buggered up assets by changing the configs and not testing them in trainz and put them to the DLS, there seems to be allot of splines that have meshes missing in the LOD tree, I could be wrong through.

Cheers.
 
I used to have trouble with my grass disappearing, but then I kicked my roommate out....

You are using the old FMA grass series. I think the disappearing grass was designed in by the creators to reduce computer memory demands. There is a new FMA grass series available on the DLS that behaves normally. Look up FMA2 igrass - there is a series of them. Once you have downloaded that series, simply use the replace asset tool to replace all of your existing FMA grasses with the FMA2 igrass versions. I hope that helps.

There's nothing missing, there's no clean up...

Open the asset and delete the line

unit_mesh

from the config.

Be aware that the result will be a grass spline that draws all the way to the horizon at LOD=0, which will be a performance crunch on anything short of a Cray!

Alternatively search the DLS for grass splines by Tram__ (TWO Underscores) which are imho much more user friendly..No criticism of the FMA splines expressed or implied, these were amoung the very first grass splines way back when. Another alternative which slipped my mind was the FMA updates themselves....
