Trouble with El-Rail Ave in Mac

Hi, I'm new here and I have the latest NAM.  I'm having trouble with how my El-Rail over avenue looks like. I don't know how to fix it. (I'm trying to upload a picture of what it looks like. But basically the elrail and avenue has no texture on it, all i see is a white object.)

It looks as the textures are corrupted. Lets check some things:

  1. Is Hardware Rendering on? Many new plugins require hardware rendering (aka DirectX) to work properly. Check it in the screen config of the game.
  2. Is the NAM installed properly? Maybe some process avoided the NAM to install adequately, try installing it again, caring to select El-Rail over Avenue as a component to install.
  3. Have you tried with the alternate implementation? The NAM includes a japanase-styled el-rail implementation (made by Moonlinght), which had a different set of models and textures, and could be useful to replace the damaged ones.
  4. Is your NAM instalation file corrupted? Maybe the download was interrupted, if everything fails and you have a reasonable access to download, try getting a new copy of the NAM, preferently the new version 33 (pre-release), that is although very stable.

    I cannot see moonlight's el-rail. So I downloaded it manually, and it worked!! Thank you so much!!!

    Final question:  How do I connect it to an avenue (without an el-rail)?  I've been trying and it doesn't seem to work.

    You have to detour the el rail to a side and it will become an standard avenue or RD-4. I think you need to extend at least a couple of tiles dragging road instead of avenue. There is a video by @Ganaram Inukshuk which explains this more clearly.
