No need to fiddle with the cameras in SCP, you get the flicker effect at any angle' I only chose that particular one to show the effect clearly. I accept that not all UKFS shapes have that problem, unfortunately it is present on several, if not more.

Dorset Coast was built using v3.1.6, it would therefore look like both SCP and the S&D were built using a different version. I am therefore going to remove the SCP Global Shapes folder and drop in the Dorset coast one and see what happens.

Following on, it is definitely the wooden sleeper set of shapes that have the problem, whatever version of the shapes is used. Therefore one cannot apply a blanket solution to the problem. As it looks like OR will not be able to run these UK finescale wooden sleeper routes without flicker present, unlike MSTS, there is no other choice for them than to continue with MSTS.

Modified wooden sleeper track textures are available at UKTS (File ID 25768). They appear to partly resolve the SCP problem.

For anyone who's affected by this bug, they should click "Does this bug affect you?" on the bug report. The bug reports are the only way we can reliably gauge interest in a problem and prioritise fixing it.

Thanks for that. Just dumped them into SCP and texture "cutting" shown in my earlier screen shots is gone, and the flicker effect is much reduced. Still there, but mainly confined to the edges of the shapes now, with a hint of moire type artefact well ahead between the rails. I can live with that. I don't know how I managed to miss seeing that file.
