Hopefully someone can help me with this.I upgraded my video card a few weeks ago.Trainz does run better however my screenshots come out all messed up.The pictures below are not from a winter route. The video card seems to paint the terrain white in the screenshots but not in the game.I'm running an ATI Radeon 9500 PRO on a Dell Dimension 4300, Win XP, 512MB of Ram. Pentium 4.I'm running Trainz in Direct X, it seems to do the same thing in Open GL.Thanks in advance for your help.

RE: What is causing this?

Not that I can give you a definative answer, but I think the isue may be the ATI card. I recently had a demo of Trainz at a local model railroad exhibition, and the demonstrator warned that there were some display issues in relation to the Radeon cards, particularly locomotive bogies for some reason. This was reasuring, as I had just bought a new 9700 pro card Have an ask or search over on the Auran forumn they may have some more info. Trainz is upfront and say that it is, and the new version will be, optimised to run with the new Nvidia cards and drivers, but they are cognisant of the fact there are ATI issues (I have asked the question over there) and they assure that they are being addressed.May or may not have answered your question...OZ
