Hello, along with the new download of the RF&P Route V3, there is a Switch Tower that does not show up in the sim nor with Shape Viewer.
I have tried to fix it with "Shape Fix" & SFM 25 Compressed and Uncompressed, but no luck. It gives me an "automation error #205530516".
The shape in question is RFP_tower.s which is also available at T-S. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I found it in my stuff.
The .s file was uncompressed so I compressed it.
It shows up in TSRE and I can place it in the sim but it does indeed show the error in Shape viewer.

I'm talking strictly OpenRails here.

I just fiddled with this file tonight and found that the dkred.ace texture was the problem. Copied the red texture color to a copy of the black texture and renamed to dkred.ace and all is well.

I looked and looked, this is great. Thank you. I tried that, it is only 8 x 8 and shows when I open the ACE file, the "black" texture is also 8 x 8 but does not present a problem. It did not work for me.

The black texture in my route is 16 x 16 and the file opens correctly with the modified dkred texture

I looked at a couple of ways to do this. The ACE file opens fine, BTW, my Black.Ace is also 16 x 16 but I cannot get the DkRed enlarged to 16x16, I am doing something wrong. Also RFP_Tower does open properly in TSRE5. My AceIt is working, SFM is working. It just bothers me, I know it should not, but it does.
Hrmmph. I have done changes like this before, but not often enough to get proficient at it. My old brain just cannot do it.

Just copy the black ace. Color it to match the dkred.ace; then rename the black.ace copy to dkred.ace

OK, I will try again tomorrow. Thank you.
