<<1. White 'spots' with the terrain.>>
Maybe the scenery draw distance levels are not set high enough for the route.<<2. Engines are messed up graphically>>
Not sure what to say about this.You should post pics of the deficiencies you see and maybe Auran will address them. I have tried to tell them about the grill on the f-units having problems with transparencies involving other scenery but nothing was done.

1. White 'spots' with the terrain.Turning on the shadows should fix it.2. Engines are messed up graphicallySlider for trains polycount should be set to max...I have tried to tell them about the grill on the f-units having problems with transparencies involving other scenery but nothing was done.They know about it. To fix this sort of bugs would require quite a bit of coding, though. What you see is problem the game engine has with sorting alpha-mapped polygons -- it's similar in nature to msTS trees and objects disappearing behind some windows and other transparent geometry.

For the white spots try checking shadows in the advanced options.That cleared it up for me.For the messed up engine make sure your poly count slider is maxed or close to it under the driver options.If none of this helps maybe we can figure something else out.

Wouldn't the Geforce3 fix be a good idea for this?*~þHÃt*Rat~**~classic american playa~*
