I'm not sure whether this is an ORTS problem or a problem at my end, but I thought it was worth reporting:

This is on my own route, with replacement Acleantrack1 and Acleantrack2 aces. The track displays correctly at night in MSTS.

I also have the Mactier Sub route installed and its track looks fine at night in ORTS.

Also, doesn't seem to be the case with all track sections and headlight on or off doesn't matter:

I noticed this with some sections on the RMD Milwaukee Road East route. It's not in all sections though. I had also noticed it going on with the Ver. 360 too. Must have something to do during route creation.

I believe someone found on another route that there was actually a daytime texture in the night folder and OR was using it, where as MSTS ignored it for some reason. It could also be the track shapes set the wrong display flags and MSTS ignores that. There's a lot of information missing regarding how MSTS handles the texture variations.

Thanks James, I'll see if I can determine what's different beteween the bright sections and those that display properly.

That was the problem. I removed those "daytime" acleantracks from the Night folder and now the tracks look normal in ORTS at night.

Thanks again James -- obviously not an ORTS issue.
