Second test resulted in the same signals having to be tabbed past. Here they are in order from Wembley to Harrow:

Hello Matthew
Very interesting images.
Looks like that would prevent anyone from passing any further than Tring !
Has anyone else had this problem ?
I seem to manage on a regular basis

If you load the route in the editor Matthew, when passing the mouse over the *missing* track do the yellow 'outline ribbons' show?

[chrisonline]

Nope, all there for me at Tring

Thanks Chris , I knew someone would upload a pic.

I would have done so myself but I'm working on a little something for David

Matthew obviously has some sort problem with the route, I hope someone can sort it (Gary)

I have found occasionally, with this route, Western Mainlines, and perhaps a couple of other "memory/data-hungry" routes in the past, that a scenario stops short of fully loading the scenery (though it still plays), leaving trains standing on grass, or a station with no platforms etc. Usually after a delay it all fills in, but every now and again it simply stops loading. A close down of TS and restart resolves the issue. A rare event, but it does happen. I wonder if that might be the issue here, especially if Matthew's PC is a little slower or short on memory, perhaps?

WCMLLM is certainly a "heavy" route which taxes the processor and memory on occasion.

The fact that the missing tracks do not appear on the map screen either suggests to me that something more fundamentally awry than a graphics error is occurring; possibly a malformed or incomplete tracks.bin file?

Perhaps if we could compare the relative sizes of the tracks.bin file on Matthew's install with that of somebody who is not suffering from missing sections of track, we could at least eliminate this as a possibility?

I have experienced this myself but not on the 2D map.

If Matthew is able to drive through that area without a derailment then that could be the case.

The route is "heavy" but other than remove more scenery (which I'd rather not) I wish I knew what I could do

As you say, a fresh start of TS always helps

Thank-you for your valiant efforts on this route.I made a scenario out of Euston/Rugby all fine until Primrose Hill tunnels entrance. now either the embankment has slipped or I have a problem! it covers the start of the tunnel Down Fast.

A picture would be helpful.

Sounds like the tunnel occlusion decal isn't displaying; not a huge problem as you can drive through the ground even though it does look odd. Probably another resources related issue, try clearing the cache and restarting the game.

[dingerb]

will do GP. Thanks a lot. don't suppose you could put in a word to Alex see if he fancy going onto Man-Picc

I have done a vidcap of 6B62 08:43 Wembley E,F.O.C - Daventry I.R.F.T

Starting at Wembley siding 10 at 08:43, running as far as Tring 19:17
Not the best quality but may be of interest for anyone having signal issues.
(excuse my driving, I'm not that experienced on 92's)
I had to slow down/stop for a few "reds" but no Tabbing needed.

File is 230MB (compressed from 14GB!), only took me about 5mins to download, can also be reviewed on line.
