Odd video artifacts

[LA1IMPALA]

I think it was on Cajon Pass when I get near this one bridge there is this, well , ummm big gray structure that goes up at an angle off screen. Also forgot which one, I was in a freight yard and a lighted ground and wheels went by....no train. quad core, windows 7 64 bit 8gigs of ram , NVidia Ge force GT 430

Yes, it's a known bug in Cajon Pass.
It's an old route and it has a few odd bugs.

Yeah, Chacal is right, Cajon is one of the original Railworks routes, has to be, what, almost 5 years old now? And it shows it's age. I get those weird dark grey triangles from the ground up into the sky on Cajon, and a few older routes as well.

Wheels going by with no car on them could be missing texture files, try ad do a verify of the game files. Steam icon> Library> TS2014> right click> Properties> Local Files tab> Verify.

Also, in the game's graphics settings, make sure the graphics detail is set to 10. Don't just use the High settings in the video settings, go custom and set detail to 10. There are a few other tings you can change in there depending on how low your frame rate is. GT430's a decent card, but it won't run TS2014 with everything on high and get good frames. This game will bog down my GTX670 2Gb card, so don't feel bad.

thanks for your replies

yeah going to eventually build a new computer. I have other games like IL-2 Cliffs of Dover and DCS A10-C , both run fair but bog down at times..... any suggestions from either of you on vid cards ? will go into an i7 PC. Did you ever see the Cajon pass on extreme trains on I think it was the history channel?

The stray-poly issue has been fixed in the ScaleRail version, but I need to update the download to fix a few issues introduced by myself.

What you've described used to happen frequently after saving, quitting, and later restarting a scenario. I can't recall one of those "walls of doom" popping up for a long time, but they may be lurking around still. It's been so long since I've seen one that I can't recall the means of getting rid of them, although shutting down and restarting Railworks (as it was called then) probably sufficed.

For a video card, I like Nvidia, not a "fan boy" it's just what works good for me. And I think Nvidia works good for TS2014.

Any card from the GTX560Ti, GTX640, GTX670, GTX760 or if you have some $$$ to spend, a GTX780. Make sure whatever card you buy has at least 2Gb of VRAM (GDR5 is fastest/ best).

gtx690 is currently the top tier of all of them.
It has two GPU's per card.

Yeah, but I could buy a used car for that amount of $$$$$. And go rail fanning!
