Whole boards become water after region change.

I was wanting to use some seasonal grasses, found my route has the default, despite setting it to USA when it was worked on in TRS 2019, ( the route had another DEM merged inot it to use in 2022 and i think it had been changed by the person who kindly did the merge for me which also involved a height change) so i changed the region to USA, went back to use the mini map, lo ! about 15 boards were covered with water !!! FREAKOUT
.Fortunately I quit without saving and they had returned to normal on relaunch but cripes ....this version of the game can induce a high level of trauma .

So does your typing Dave!

Loading a large route for the first time (if that was the case) or after a region change can cause a precache reload that, eventually, settles down. At least that has been my experience. I do a lot of route merge operations involving large routes and have observed that there can be a significant delay before the new scenery appears immediately after the merge has completed. Subsequent loads are normal.

yeah its awful isn't it, I've been putting letters out of order for about a decade, probably an early sign of dementia , I did it in a hurry before i went out and didn't double check it before I posted.

Its my Alpine tunnel route, the original DEM had been height modified to such an extent that when I added the extra sections by hand much of it ended up below sea level which is a total pain as I have to calculate in negative numbers to work out heights, then Trainman 24 kindly provided the DEM from Ohio City to Gunnison by lowering his existing DEM to match the one provided by Pitkin, necessitating the move to TRS 2022. I worry the entire thing is a bit unstable after having those merges and changes in different versions of the app. Its also around 500mb in game and since I've started making grass/sage/texture selections using the copy paste tool in order to save time , saving is a nightmare as often its just hanging in save mode and not quitting ,(this is after I upgraded my PC and have a 12gb 4070 card and 14th gen i7 ) after I've already saved it, but all too often the program asks if i want to save again , even though I've made zero changes , as a precuation , I always check the route kuid in CM ,but its often still open for edit, this happens all the time and is total pain. Rebuilding database and keeping multitple copies is the go , but I am just waiting for a major corruption to occur sometime in the future, it seems inevitable.
