Atomic Systems

All was fine a few weeks ago, so im not sure whats wrong??

Before





And now, both shots from the same route.

Rails, sleepers, ballast, undergrowth? You've got me guessing unless you have unwanted gantries.

If you look ahead of the loco you can see the texture difference in the track, also somelocos the quality of them change as they pass through.

A similar effect occured with the Dorset Coast v4 (?) track texture, not sure how it can be cured. Have you changed your visual settings at all i.e. screen resolution?

Nothing has been changed and its happening on all routes. The graphics seem to be on a lower setting in the distance. Im going to re-install the drivers and see what that does.

Mine is the same on both of my PC's - I never worry about it .

Hi
Yes its been discussed over the years, some of the better graphics cards can help to eliminate it, but generally its a limitation of the game.
We used to say wait for KRS, unfortunately I've seen shots of KRS doing the same, but hopefully MSTS2 will not.
Cheers

re-installed the drivers and its fine

I am glad you solved it.

What may help others that this affects, would be the name and specs of your graphics card.
If/when people change theirs thay can keep it in mind.

Think i spoke to soon, its gone back again but seem worst this time and its affecting the AI stock in acts.

It looks as if the graphics options have been turned down a notch or two to so as to not show as much distant detail. Just to be on the safe side, check all your graphics settings in the game, and run msconfig to ensure that the game is setting its own parameters to your graphics capabilities

Hi Andy,
I think BarryH meant mprofile and not msconfig since the latter does not control graphics.
Sorry to be pedantic!

Indeed I did, and thank you for the correction; it's nice to see another phloccinaughcinihilipilificator on here. As it's been close to two years since I did anything much with MSTS, it's hardly surprising that the memory is a little less reliable than it used to be...

Thanks for the info guys, i unistalled the drivers and used the ones from the supplied CD and all seems fine (for now) if it does go tits up again i know what to check, cheers Is mprofile right as it brings nothing up, im running XP.
