....................and the Helpdesk team; particularly Zec Murphy, who personally handled my FCT issue. In the 12 or so years I've been Trainzin', I've needed to resort to the Helpdesk only 2 or 3 times. In every case their response was timely and to the point, resulting in a positive...

Downloaded TaNE just fine. Install went reasonably well. Cranked it up and played it several hours....my reaction.........:):D:cool:........Thanks guys, I really wasn't disappointed! Downloaded wallpapers just fine,..........but................ WHERE"S MY !ST CLASS TICKET!!!!! Is it hiding on...

Good looking US track suitable for TS 12 seems to be at a premium on the DLS. I've tried gfishers 132# track...........great looking and perfect ballast match, but way too memory heavy; over 8 Mb I've tried various SAM track............good looking, but bolted fish plates are not prototypical US...

Prices have dropped quite a bit on the NVidia GTX 770 and GTX 780 series graphic cards. Looking at a 780 as a Uncle Sam refund present to me; I compared performance of my GTX 570, against a GTX 780; and I almost fell over! WOW! The 780, in almost every instance, outperformed my whimpy beastie...

In the past few day I have been experiencing shutdowns in Surveyor, where Windows closes the program due to a fault. This is a new situation, I've been running TS12 for years without too much trouble. OS is WIN7-64, with a I7 CPU and a NVidia GTX 570 GPU. The fault info is as follows: Fault...

Several of us at Yesterdayz Trainz have taken on a new project involving several northeastern Massachusetts community organizations and a museum. John Citron and myself are the prime movers for the project to date. We call it the 'Hoosac Project'. It is a rather simple one; it will cover...

Cascaderairoad,..........you got your TransDEM problems sorted out yet. As I mentioned earlier; I think you need to update your program. Version 2.4.1 is the latest.

Ever since I installed SP1 I can no longer merge a Session Layer into a Route Layer in Surveyor mode. Any modifications I make to terrain or textures applied to the route during a session will merge, but tracks, buildings, consists, etc. stay on the Session layer and will not merge. What's goin' on?

I know we TransDEM users are a minority in the Trainz community. But N3V has raised one issue which detracts from this fine program. Ever since its initial release, TS12 wireframe grid lines have interfered with viewing underlying UTM tiles. This was not an issue in TS10. The TS12 grid lines are...

This is a generall topic on fixing those agravating little bugs it come up with. Please feel free to add your fix. Let's start simple. KUIDS no longer show in 'Surveyor'. Open TS12 and go to Main Menu. Pick 'Options' from the drop down list. At the top is 'General' setings. Open this and on the...

This is a MONSTER patch! I'm running an i7 quad-core CPU at close to 4 GHz clock speed, and the patch still took about 63 minutes to complete. (It downloaded in under 10 min.)I opened TS12 and see a few new splash screens. It was also able to update content which previously wouldn't upload. As...

For a while I've been watching the USGS sites for news of their 'Historical' map site. This last week I found it to be up and running. It is here: http://nationalmap.gov/historical/ This site offers USGS topo maps for all the US states; they range in dates from the mid 1800's to 2000, and are...

How do I get TS12 in window mode? I'm sure I did before but I forget how!

I will probably replace my present GTX 570 (1.2 Gb vid mem) with a GTX 680 later this year. The GTX sports 2 Gb vid mem; certainly an imporovement over my own. Prices run about $500 USD for the new card. However research has led me to investigate the EVGA GTX 680 Classified card. This card is...

I have taken on a new route which includes the Hoosac Tunnel in the northeast corner of Massachusetts. I have generated DEM maps and put the whole thing into TS12. I've started laying track and have the tunnel installed. But I'm still doing research and need a few answers. The tunnel was...

I have found an asset I required, but it goes back to TS06. I have successfully updated it to TS10. Here's the rub; I know there is a DLS cleanup project going on, so I want to upload the asset to the DLS. It's a bridge made by jack Straessle. My search show he hasn't been on the forums since...

A steel deck truss bridge, preferably in spline form, for 1 and 2 track bridges (track optional) usable for TS12. Nearest I can find is Howe truss in wood............simply won't do. These are fairly common bridges in US,.............but noticably lacking on DLS! Don't want to wake up Ben Dorsey...

I don't know if any of you have accessed the USGS National Server lately, but they changed it all around again, and................Geo Tiff is no longer offered as a download format for 1/3 Arc Sec DEM data! What are we to do with TransDEM now?

I really like George Fisher's 132lb US Wood MBTA track (KUID2:106916:10234:3 and KUID2:106916;10342:1) and I use it exclusively on my route. However, both versions come in only one flavor; spline. Is it possible to convert this track to discreet lengths, i.e. 25 feet, 50 feet, 100 feet, etc.? It...

Having investigated the possibilities of creating a freeware route for DLS in sections for TS10, I'm also investigating the issues involved in creating that route in TS12. Let me explain my train of thought here;.............. I find that TS12 has a shortage of routes, and can really use some...
