I have a problem w/ my RE. Everytime I open it up, the grass is always white. Is there anyway how to change it to green and keep it that way. I just started to build my first route, but I can't see anything that I put on it. Please Help!!!

RE: Problem

It sounds like you don't have your start tile set correctly. Is the latitude and longitude at the top of the RE window within the area your route is supposed to be in? If not, you need to get back into the Route Geometry Editor, load your route and quad tree, click on one of the tiles, and then select that as the start tile. Save it, and then when you open the RE you should see green grass.Andy

As this is your first route, I think that you didn't generate the terrain Tiles in the Route Geometry Extractor.You must read carefully the instructions:
First choose a region, right click and add all selections tiles, populate the tiles where your route is going to pass, mark a specific tile as your Route Editor Start Tile, then go to edit and set the offset height, then minimize quad tree, then Generate Flagged Tiles, set your preferences, save quad tree, and after loading your route, exit all the Editors and Tools program (just to refresh your route).Now open the Route Editor, load your route, and you must see the green flat land.
Use the Help Menu, it explains the basic steps.Try with these steps and post again did it work out or not.
