Question to Track Makers on Far View Commands

Hello

actually I'm experimenting with the commands 0xc5,0xc6 on the bridge of the
Grauholz Track. With this commands, used in the track sections on the bridge
your are able to see the track beyond the bridge. It looks quite good, except
one problem: The Bridge Object, defined in the track section under the bridge
is also seen, when you drive on the bridge, in the middle of the road!
So my question: Is it possible to use the far view sections with invisible
objects? Up to now I haven't found any solution.

Regards

Hi Zieli,

you could also try to tell the object where it has to be shown. If I remember right, there is an option in the object combo box where you can choose such commands as "shown always" or "show before" fences and so on.

Another option would be to experiment around with the view commands but I would have to look at the track to get it right and sadly I do not have the time for it.
Hope this is of a help to you.

Hi Major Tom,

Thank you for your proposal, but the options in the combo box have only
influence in the part of the rack, wehre the object is placed.
I would like to switch the objects off (like its possible withe the ribbons)
in the track section defined by the far view commands.
Does anybody know if it's possible?

Regards

Hi again,

it´s right the combo options are meant for what you are saying.

I took a drive on the Grauholz track and I do not see any object through the bridge. So, actually I cannot figure out what you mean exactly. But if you try around with far distance view command try figure like 34 or slightly more. This will let appear the object in the last moment I suppose. Anyway I´m not in trackmaking anymore and have forgotten a lot about these things. Good luck!

Once more,

about the ribbons. It could be an option to solve the problem. If you place a ribbon in front of the visual object but in the track section where it is seen. In this case you would see something else instead..whatever bitmap/jam you place on that ribbon. It could be partly transparent as well.
