Hi Cassius, sorry to hear you are still having problems.

Q) Is this on a purchased version or free version?
Q) Do they appear in the Player?

Other users have had this problem before, but we just don't get enough information to be able to try and fix it.
Can you send the log files from the Win32 or Win64 release folder depending on what you are running as they may shed some light. Last i looked into this, i though it may be the shaders at fault not generating.

Q) What PC specs are you running. CPU, RAM, GFX, Windows OS etc...

You can try clearing your resources to see if that helps. This can be done by going into the Installed folder and looking for:
"Skyline/Data/Resources"
Delete all but the "SkylineBaseResources" file and try reloading the engine again

Gen2 skyline is coming along quick, currently there is no veg system, but it will be added into the engine as its a necessity.

Thanks for reply. I have commercial version
Will try what you suggest;

[cassius_b]

Do we already have gen2 or is it in production?

[lordalmighty1]

its in production, unknown exactly when the gen2 systems will be released at the moment

The Gen 2 stuff is looking sweet.
The last time I heard they where progressing nicely on the Gen 2 stuff, can not wait.
don't shoot me if I am wrong but I think there doing the vegetation stuff for gen 2, not sure can not remember where I saw that post.

@cassius_b, Gen2 is the new redesigned engine of skyline pushing far better performance with more objects and more features.
It is not wise for us to put a deadline on the project yet, but it will be soon within the next few month.

Terrain stuff is currently underdeveloped, but we are definately having it again and hopefully better than Gen1.
The current terrain only uses < 512mb for a 16k terrain over the 2 gigs Gen1 uses lol

It is coming together very quickly though and stability is improving every day, so it wont be long before some games can be made.

Those links liam posted are very good to keep up to date with.
Hope this helps
