Yes, that is strange. I just tried a set myself just to see what it looked like while rails were being placed on the map, for a possible clue.

Maybe it's a safety feature? No sharp turns to prevent derailments? Just kidding. Of course it's a bug that needs to be fixed. :)

It looks fine in the editor, by the way. For want of technical expertise and terms, I'd say the game is lacking a graphical interpretation of this instance of hex and feature combination. That is, straight railroad and gentle-curving railroad are picked up by the program and represented in the display while sharp railroad turn is undefined.

Heh, stop laughing. :lol:

You can see the difference !
I think this is the only bug with the map editor. Creating a map is easy and fast with experience but this bug is irritating :(

Thanks. So what I said above wasn't so dumb after all. With great difficulty, I am learning a few things here. :wink:

Any hope to correct this bug in the next update ?

This bug can be found in certain official maps, for example 8-USMC-SAIPAN-TINIAN :

I'm hoping to give the terrain textures a higher resolution update at some point, and update all the road & road textures while I'm at it...

Good.
And while you're at it ( :D ), check the river running through the rice pad. They do not blend well together.

fingers crossed for next "patch".

though some of us have noted little things like this have not been fixed since the original release of OOB.

I think someone over there is easily distracted.
