Hmmm.
Here's a couple things you should try:
1: Make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date
2: Make sure you have the newest distribution of SDL
3: Make sure you have the newest version of OpenBVE, and the .NET Framework

All drivers are up to date, I'm running the 1.4.2  June 2012 version of OpenBve. I'll check the SDL and the openGL.

Run as administrator doesn't help, I'm already up on that, this issue occurs with the R142, R179, and R15 so far that I've used, No personal discrepancies with the models themselves. As far as my computer being able to handle the high textures, it did so before I installed the graphics card, I also run TS2013 which is very demanding in the high-textures department and it does a great job there. I'm not able to take screenshots with MS Paint, full screen or windowed mode, but no problem with MSTS and TS2013, another problem I need to figure out. Here's my home built system.

Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
AMD Sempron 140 Processor 2.70 GHz
4.00 GB (stepping up to 8GB)
X64bit
1GB Hard Drive
MSi Radeon HD 6450 Graphics w\ 1GB memory

Its been doing real good running MSTS, TS2013, and OpenBve's programs, right now I'm just looking for answers to issues concerning the graphics card dealing with some of OpenBve transit equipment textures.

interpolation settings

Here's my interpolation settings.

Level of anisotropic filtering = 16
Level of anti-aliasing = 4, I had it set to 16 but I believe each new launch of the program resets it back to 4.
Transparency = smooth, all the way over to the right.

 I was unsuccessful with 'Print Screen' and 'Paint', all I get is my own background image within 'Paint's' window, but it does work with obtaining MSTS and TS2013 photo shots. If theres another way to photo shoot please let me know. I'll try to figure why 'Print Screen' and 'Paint' doesn't recognize the OpenBve program. I appreciate the support ErrorMacro11, and to you DJ Hammers.

Could you post a screenshot?

DJ Hammers , I wish I could brother, except that 'Trainviewer' program and me haven't found a way to cope as of yet on my windows 7 x64bit, unless there's another way to take screenshots, I'll give 'Print Screen' and 'Paint' a shot. What's visible of the train inside and outside tunnels, is the complete interior of each car, floors, passenger seating, ad signs etc. cabviews are intact. I noticed traveling on the EL operations, the exterior skins of the cars seem to appear and disappear in a 'flashing' motion, but not staying solid, some of the scenery does that also, but not so bad. DJ Thanks!

Greetings to all fellow 'subwayists',
It seems as though as soon as I succeeded in getting my new graphics card (MSi Radeon HD 6450 1GB) operating, the exterior graphics (skins) for the R142's and R179's took a powder, only the interior graphics of the train show from the external view. I did some required settings within the AMD ENGINE VISION Control center but that didn't resolve the problem. Please let me know how to resolve this issue. Thank you

This issue is a bug in the route. Just open the route file with Microsoft Excel or a text editor and remove the "Run.Interval" line of the code.

Threxx1, that was the ticket my friend! now we're uncongested. I remember many years back there was a very nice lady that worked that refreshment and snack stand there at the Grand Central stop/platform  just a few feet away as you stepped out of the first car.

well it could just be that the train you use does not have an exterior view, if so it will show as a grey box.

I did find it a little strange that my operating trains' exterior showed as a placeholder graphic on this route, but you're right, the developers of some of these awesome subway greats will specify if they have an exterior view or no.

Hello fellow subway motorman, motorwomen, and moderators. I noticed traveling from Grand Central station to Times Square shuttle run, there's a eastbound static shuttle train still occupying the station track blocking my incoming westbound, it looks as if its about to negotiate the outbound switch.  My train and the static trains seem to only be placeholders without their graphic detail. I'm in the process of upgrading my system here as I also run TS2013. This issue may be already addressed somewhere on the forum but I couldn't locate it. Thanks a mil!
