Not really sure how to explain this odd behavior? This is the MLT KHPV2 route. About 30 mins after leaving Ozada.

These odd terrain issues don't appear in MSTS in this area.

I had a problem similar to this on the LaSalle.
Ended up having to upgrade my video card.
Went from a GT9800 to a 760.,

Those "towering" shapes have been posted about before, I can't locate the threads, but from memory, most said there was nothing you could do about it.
Maybe Goku would have an idea what is causing it?

Hmm, That sucks. There must be a way to fix ORTS graphics engine?

From what I remember, it's not OR, it's the way it was originally constructed using the msts RE, (a notorious piece of software) and I've never seen this noticeable a defect in any other routes, perhaps the Rogers Pass has one...both of the routes were early MLT products. Not to say it might not be corrected by some coding in OR, but since it is so rare and the routes are payware and so old, there probably is just no volunteer that wants to put the time and effort into it...I don't blame them. To many other more important issues to deal with.
Send Goku a PM to look at the thread when he has some time ( or Vince) they might be able to offer some more intelligent insight into the problem.
I admit every time I run this route (just recently) it does present an eyesore to the experience. That thing goes into the stratosphere--I used OR's camera8 to try to find the top of it.
