What the?

What the feck happened here? I was taking a look at my contest track in the simulator, just at how the ride looks in general, thats pretty much all i can do in the sim . So, I went onto fly view and flew to where I wanted to look at the ride from, pressed F1 to get rid of the stats and then this happened:





Not only did the statistics disappear, but so did all the 3D objects , the trains, the stattion, the support connectors with the floor and the track, all the brakes and of course the contest rings. When it happened, at first the trains both flashed really crazily for about a second then disappeared, then everything else disappeared about half a second later. I think something went wrong with my computer (as usual), cus it seems to be working fine again now, well apart from the fact that its running at 2FPS, but thats usual heh heh. That reminds me aswell, when this weird thing happened, my FPS went up to about 20 and actually let me see that there were a few big jerks in the ride that I wouldn't have been able to notice otherwise, so it helped me slightly because I've been able to smooth them out now ........ honestly, I hope this happens in the future more often

Something liek that happened to me with my first track. I went into fly view and the whole station disapeared. Dunno what the problem is though.

The last time anything like this happened to me was when I interrupted the loading by trying to pause before it finished. Plus, you should've seem the mipmap glitch I had one time in the editor.

Edit: I did it again, but the screenshot taker didn't work for some reason, so I couldn't post it, and now I can't recreate this glitch anymore. I think you have to press it at a specific time, maybe just before the load vehicles line.

It is something in NL and your graphics card combined ... it happens to me now and then, but not often enough to be a bother.

hmmm, its never happened to me before. I was thinking that I'd pressed a button to make all the 3D's disappear or something, cus there seems to be a button for making everything else disappear . Ahwell, I want it to happen again now though, because I want to make sure the track is smooth [V]

You can remove the scenery with a button i think. [:D]

Just ride it in the editor, use the ride on track function without activating the trains, that enables you to move around and with that, bumpy places come up alot for me. (Or better yet, get a new up to date comp, so you can ride in the back cars to test for pumping)

mine hasn't done that, but it used to put "triangles" all over the Intamin track and trains. (For some reason it would ONLY do that to that coaster style in the simulator) But i ended up reinstalling it and it works properly.
