This thread seems to have a Monogame expert and a terrain textures enthusiast and so I'll ask my question here!

In the Monogame version, a horizontal transfer becomes very prominent, depending on the viewing position, whereas in the 'standard' OpenRails, transfers seem to blend fairly well. A half-minute video clip illustrates the difference:

Is there anything I can do to produce a better transfer texture which will not appear so unsightly under Monogame? It's not a major problem - in my real route most transfers are either not flat and horizontal or are in a more forgiving, gritty texture to suit a loco yard for example and they do not stand out so prominently. The clip from my 'Sandbox' route is really to show an extreme example.

On a more positive note, it also shows how much smoother it is under Monogame and woohoo, at the end of the rotation, the loco no longer does a celebratory skip!

Not really a problem, more annoying than anything but is there a reason for this error, well warning, really?

I would have thought that the reason for the warning is self evident. It is telling you that the save you are about to load may not work in the current version of OR.

I get that. but it was saved in the current version so why would a save in the current version may not work in the current version?

The purpose of the message is to warn (but not prevent) resuming from a Save made in an earlier version.
However in this case it looks like the message is saying that the Save and the current version are the same.

This was an old bug. James fixed it (5 Jan 2017) so either this MG version is out of step with the official one or the code has since been broken.

Yeah, it is pretty annoying.
Need an error message when there is a problem, not when there might be one.
It's not like it's going to damage anything.

I've got that message too. Simply ignore it and proceed.

Confirming that "save and resume" from MG 1.3.1-41 Rev.14 does bring up the warning message of imcompatible versions.
Choosing Yes will start the saved activity with no further problems. The bug is back.
