Dynamite. Seriously, click the terrain adjustment button, press W to go into wire frame mode, then press V to "blank" out that square. Tap V lightly, as it sometimes will just switch off then on again, and will sometimes take a couple of taps to get it to stay blank. Just another one of RE's numerous eccentricities....

RE: Basic Tunnel Question

Thanks a lot! I just began building my first route, so I'm still bumping into a few small problems. Should I go ahead and buy Michael Vone's guide, or should I wait for a later version after MSTS2 is released?

If you are planning to actually work on this route, then by all means, purchase the guide. It seriously is amazing.I had a copy, but unfortunately, it got wiped out with my hard drive

You might want to set the error bias to 0 for the square(s) that'll contain the portal(s). It helps in keeping the gaping white holes to a minimum.

I didn't know that about the 0 error bias. Thanks for the tip. Cuesta Pass is kind of tunnel intensive, and that helps a lot. RE: Mr. Vones Guide. I bought it, printed it out, put it in a nice binder and never close it. If you want to make serious headway on your route, and get a grip on the RE's "personality", this is the tome to have. As indespensible to as track is to trains.
