Open Rails v1.5 is here

I've noticed, tracks now seem to be a bit more "Grainy"?( to me ) now in this version, but the other "Stuck over" ( almost like MSTS did when It passed certain buffer areas? ) seems to've left now too. I mean, prior versions had some areas that if you weren't careful, seemed there was like a "Sticky" Extra camera between the tracks & cars. But, other than the track, it seems nice. Far better than Prevs.

I've noticed this as well, particularly the terrain that you have painted textures on, gives off a pixelized/grainy look to it from a distance, but when you view it close, it looks smooth like the rest.

Yes, seems to change( running one now ). Nice( your Modern Texture/.Ace btw ), but guess One has to get use to it. There are some ORTS Designed Textured Ones in The F/L, but yours fills in so good along side The BNSF Gallup Sub One( and yes, although can barely see or notice it, SAL Fl & The Birmingham 2; Currently Running uses a certain texture, that once over written, but not so much left on The S-line, traces are still found on the ground, which does give traces of extra dirt ).
And btw, I've watched a YT video stating that Your Railine You work for's getting more power, & some's more SD70M-2s. They'll be upgraded & Iso Cabbed. Good Bye,"Thunder-,Cab"( Esp. In Notch8,lol )!

We are getting 12 more SD70M-2 units, they should be the same cabs we have now, so I'm unsure on that specific upgrade. This will reach the total of 18 SD70M-2's. The GP38-2 and GP40-2 fleet are getting upgraded to GP33ECO's, and I'm unsure what will happen to the SD40-2 fleet, though there are only four still running currently.

Anyways, that's besides the topic here of the odd terrain texture giving off grainy/pixilated textures. I haven't checked the Mullan Pass line yet..

Right, ORTS Only stuff do seem to look & handle( granted, made for it Specifically), differently. I just now like not having a so-called,"Freezeing" camera on certain areas had on the prior 2 versions now gone. And, now guess I'm use to it,..The Fussy Track Textures seem to be gone a tad too now. The slight off Topic had to do with You making sure of what I heard & saw was true or not( & you in-turn said it was & thanks ).

Other things I've noticed: when you continue on a saved Activity, The Conductor's #6 View From The Front Stair Area of The Locomotive ( On a Diesel ), seems to change to up close to Caboose(?) Conductor Back/Rear View for extra #3 Vew instead. Plus, while speaking on that, I've noticed the wheels on the rear car seems to want to jump or "wobble back & forth now. Not really a problem. Might be a quick fix, but My Observation's all.
