LRW Track Issues after SP2

[Narua]

I just started a new route in TANE after waiting for SP2. I like using LRW Procedural track and thought I would use it again but I'm finding that the grey ballast versions are appearing as brown versions. The brown version is still brown. I don't recollect this problem prior to SP2. Is anyone else seeing the same issue?

Thanks

It's grey as it should but it draws poorly which causes the textures to appear wrong. If you look at it carefully, you will see the grey in there, but we see the low resolution version to appear too soon.

Sure you mean before SP2 as it wasn't released until after SP2, do you mean SP2HF1 ? whatever I've had issues with it since it was released, lod is way to vicious and the grey and brown versions are both appearing the same in the preview as brown, colour is nothing to do with the lod it's a known issue with material naming that lielestosbrat is aware of see here: https://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?136648-LRW-Procedural-Track&p=1615856#post1615856

Clam1952,
I did mean HF1 and thank you for the link.

John,
This time I drew both but placed them side by side overlapped and did see the difference. Thanks.

Here's a general question for anyone. I've been using procedural track because there was less chance of making an error with turnout angles but now I'm a bit more experienced so would there be any negatives going with a non-procedural track?

Try the new procedural track by Scottish.
It's really good and not too demanding on computers. You can find a thread about his track in the Freeware Section of the forum.

That you don't get the animated junctions, is the main drawback of not using procedural track. Lod issues do exist with some of the non Pro Track as well though, a case of see what works and looks best for whatever you are using it for.

Thanks Malc. I've always seen just the grey but the brown has jumped in on occasion which I assumed (shame on me for assuming) was the dorky LOD thing in SP2.

Thanks to both for your comments and advice. I downloaded the track by Scottish and will take a good look at that as well.
