SI3D Routes - Invisible Block?

[MsipmsonW]

I need some help!

I've loaded the SI3D Routes on to TS2010 and they're working fine.

However, there's something in the sheds, tunnels, under the bridges and even at Tidmouth station that is making the engines and the tracks disappear. It looks like some kind of block, which I can't move, edit of delete.

Any ideas what it is?

1. Please post on the SI3D forums.

2. Its possible to be a corrupted dig hole effect. Try reinstalling the route and dependencies.

1. I would but the last time I had a problem they didn't reply.

2. That was my first option. As you can see, it didn't work. LOL

I see.

Check to make sure nothing is faulty in Content Manager.

I have found 3 Faults (sound effects speaker, lit TTTE Buffer and 1948 Beetle)

There's also one with Faulty dependencies; UK Age of Steam.

Hmm.. doesnt seem to be listed then as faulty. Can you grab it using the get tool?

I've tried but it doesn't seem to be able to definite it. But I think it might be a track because when I clicked on it to move or delete it I heard the negative buzzer, and that was when I used the track tools.

If you tried to move it as a track then its a different asset. Try a spline.

How do I do a spline?

Could be some sort of shadow related error - try turning shadows off.
Also try swapping between directx and opengl.

Ah! Have to stay will DirectX, my computer doesn't have an up to date OpenGL. But I'll have a go with the shadows. How do I turn them off?

Let me explain what this is.

SI3D routes use a square, semi-transparent plane over turnnels and shed entrances to make the insides of such places darker.

Unfortunately, in TS2010 and TS12, these sometimes do not appear correctly, and in TS12 some alphatextures also make trains invisible. This is apparent if you're trying to look at a train through a billboard-style shrub or tree and can't see it.

What the OP can do is play with the anti-aliasing settings.

To get to them, click on 'Options' on the Launcher (instead of 'Start' or 'Content') and go to the display Settings tab. Change the anti-aliasing setting and then go back into the game and check if the issue persists. If it does, try another value.
