I think I found a part of this problem with transfer textures. I did some tests on my Quebec - Charlevoix route with two textures. One is called Waterfall-Nature (1024 X 1024) and the other is toltec rock ( 512 X 512 ).
First I placed these two textures near my problematic tunnel but not very close 1 km far. When you placed a transfer texture with the Itinary Editor, by default you have a 1 X 1 meter texture on your route. After you need to stretch the texture to have a good acceptable dimention. I streched these two textures 75 meters X 120 meters on my route. The display in IE and in Open Rails are both the same.

No Problem except a little flickering at my left of the Waterfall texture.
Next I placed more transfer textures of the toltec rock on the left upper side of the waterfall texture and some others (4 or 5) on the top of this texture. All new textures are 50 X 50 meters and are very close and some are overlapping one the others. In IR no real problem except some flickering textures. But In OR, The overlapping textures are in conflic between us and with the waterfall texture and also with the right toltec texture in the upper left conner, no overlapping in these case. Some parts of the textures completly disappear. If you look carefully you can see nothing through somme both textures toltec rock and waterfall, you can see the grey ground under these textures.

I looked on my tunnel not so far and I found I have many little tranfer textures ( 15 X 15 ) to cover the hole and probably these lot of textures enter in conflic one with the others. I think it's the same thing with DAR route of Paul Charland at Mantua. To many tranfer textures overlapping or to close one of the others.
These is probably the reason why somme people don't have problems with tranfer textures because they don't run a train near many close transfer textures. Samething for me, on some routes I encounter any problem but on some others routes it's a problem.
I think there are two possibilities to resolve this problem.
1- Is the OR team are able to correct this kind of problem just with a little programmation work?
2- Or the roude builders must correct their routes and pay a very attention to the transfer textures to close one of the others, to don't have a conflic between their.
Maybe a mix of these two solutions would be better.
Cheer!

Hi!
Still the same error.

So, Paul and Björn do also have the issue on NVidia Cards, which probably rules the possibilty, it could be the GPU, out.
Obviously, Trasnfers placed too Close do somehow interfere with each other in OpR, but not in MSTS, as nicober pointed out...

I have a graphics card like that, http://www.inet.se/p...CFYlV3godBzIAQQ click "Göteborg"
What do you recommend for type graphics card?
I built the route for 12 years and at least 30 mil long, so I refuse to change all transfers.

Now, if only my forest region bushes weren't sunk 2' into the ground in OR, I'd be happy!

Thanks very much for the investigative work! Hopefully we can just fix this in OR, although if transfers are overlapping I don't think we can guarantee what order they will be "stacked" (i.e. you might get a different transfer on top than in MSTS).
