    I was wondering if there had been any recent updates that have affected either terrain or track? I say recent but I haven't worked on that end of the rout for months. So I went to do some work on the routes I am building and noticed a lot of the track is levitating maybe 10cm above the ground. I first thought maybe I had done something wrong but on loading an old backup of the route the issue was still there. I have also removed the route from my content folder and downloaded the workshop version I uploaded and the problem is still the same.
    I do manually manipulate the terrain for embankments and cuttings and some of these also appear more angular than I remember. There is no way I would have intentionally uploaded this route to the workshop with these errors. So I wonder if anything has changed for anyone else or do I have a problem with my installation?

    I checked some of the official routes too like the "Return to Maerdy" and the "Riviera Line" which use the same track I have used and there are also some gaps, although I'm not sure if these were always there.

    Anyway I have uploaded some screenshots to show what I mean. Any ideas whats going on?

    Hm. Do you have scenery quality at max? The transitions of the right track on the Maerdy shot are fairly sharp. Maybe there should be something on the ground level that doesn't appear.
    Minor levitation is fairly common, for old routes I consider them bugs (like on the Maerdy screenshot, many of such on Oxford-Paddington).
    You can verify the dates of the asset files you're using. I found a massive weather change myself recently, exposed by two screenshots, one before the change and another one now.

    Thanks for the reply. I do have my graphics set to max and they may not have been when I started building the route, especially as I now have a new bigger monitor, so maybe things are like this are just showing up a little easier for me now than they were. Levitating assets is just one of those things that bugs me more than it probably should.
    I have now fixed and updated my workshop route too, so no worries there. It just seemed odd as I can imagine I could easily overlook a small area or two, but there was so much of it that looked wrong it seemed worth asking the question here.
