It's a very immersive little place you're building, Randy. :good:

[steved]

Yeah, it's all starting to look weirdly familiar.

Weter,

That's a good sentiment.
Maybe we should try that.

The fix for Z fighting in Monogame is really a game changer.

No more flashy things that shouldn't flash.

I've been away too long. I don't know what any of that means (Z fighting or monogame). :D

Monogame, also known as Open Rails New Year, is a version of OpenRails that was branched off several years ago as kind of an experimental platform to try out new ideas without messing with the main game code.
It has been a wild success. Most of the improvements make their way into the main game when they do a version update.
I've only ever run Monogame. I'm currently on ORMG139, the version that has fixed the problems with Z fighting. For the most part.
Before this fix certain models would show two textures fighting against each other if their surfaces are too close together. Like this.

I'm guessing that the layer that has the glass texture is too close to the front wall and fights to show it's self. The worst part is that it flashes, badly sometimes.
This is what ORMG139 does.

And it's great.

Hello.
That's really good, but one weird thing:
Now, the wall behind driver's head is gone instead.

Weter,

The pictures were taken at different angles so they show different backgrounds.
The second one shows the sky through the rear window. You can see a little of the rear wall right above the guy's shoulder.
There's a window behind the engineer's head.

Ah, sorry: that was a sky (2-nd picture) @light locomotive, and coupled car (1-st) now I see.
