Sometimes trees are positioned in the middle of the track. For example: German Railroads, Volume4, Moselbahn at Milepos 43.8 direction Cochem. (Newest update with DBTracks).Also Activties with an space in the activity name cannot be load.

Hi Horst,
the tree thingy is a known problem. The trees in such cases are placed as so-called "forest objects", which one can imagine as a specified area in which trees are then randomly spread out. The algorith used for the latter, however, is the crux of the matter: The ORTS Development Team has no knowledge of the original code Microsoft used for spreading the trees, so another "homegrown" method is used. If, however, a route-builder in MSTS' route editor (RE) aligned a forest object such that it overlapped the track, but didn´t plant trees on it, ORTS will likely plant a tree on this track, due to the different algorithm.
Solution: Open route in MSTS RE and change forest object...
The problem with spaces in activity names is new to me. Maybe some of the Devs can have a look at it, since I´m best a translating, only :sign_thanks:
Cheers, Markus
