Distant terrain generation problem.

[BoostedFridge]

Good news, the terrain seems to have generated without problems, though the San Gabriel mountains don't seem to show up a whole lot.

In order to help you, I'm going to need some data.

Have you imported ALL of the DEM data for your route yet?

How many tiles on either side of your main line have your imported terrain for?

The bad news is that the route origin point somehow got moved during the process to just outside of Bakersfield. How can I fix that?

This is pretty important... just to be clear, you are saying that the route origin point used to be somewhere else, and is now near Bakersfield. To clarify, when you say 'route origin point', you mean the coordinates that appear in the 'Build' -> 'Route' tab as shown below.

Or do you mean the the starting point when you load the route in the editor has changed?

I've imported all the terrain data I will need for the route at the moment. I imported the data in 19x19 tile chunks.

As for the starting point, it is the train icon that appears when you first create a route. It used to be located at Los Angeles Union Station, but it somehow has moved to a point just outside of Bakersfield.

You might want to look at the RouteProperties.xml and see that the coordinates are proper in the <MapProjection> section.

I just checked and it says it should be at the specified coordinates, which are Latitude 34.055646°, and Longitude -118.234242°. The coordinates it is actually spawning at are Latitude 35.37817, and Longitude -119.33617.

Which RouteTemplate have you used? This file is linked in the RouteProperties.xml

[Brickrail782]

I used the Pacific Surfliner Route template.

As for the starting point, it is the train icon that appears when you first create a route. It used to be located at Los Angeles Union Station, but it somehow has moved to a point just outside of Bakersfield.

That 'train icon' is the marker for where the 'scenario' starts you. When you create a route, a free roam scenario is created automatically which is where your 'route editor' will launch you to. You can move it around, or whatever with no actual effect on the true 'Route Origin'. The route origin is critical because your DEM, distant terrain, and Google Overlay all use that to locate themselves.

Just go to the Build -> Scenario tab and click on your route, then 'New Scenario'. This will bring up a menu. Choose 'free roam' then click on 'route origin', then click ok. This will make a new free roam at your actual route origin, and you can edit the route from there.

That seemed to do the trick, as it is reliably spawning the camera at Union Station. Thanks for the help!

Will this have the West Colton an Riverside how much scenery tracks are done?

At some point in the future, I would like to get the route out to West Colton. The part I'm working on right now goes from Los Angeles to San Bernardino via Fullerton and Riverside. I'm still working around Union Station at the moment.
