Creating a model railway style route, at the point where I need to drop the surrounding height to -48m to emulate the floor of the room. So lay a road spline to create the first section, do the terrain and get this: So what on earth, or rather water, is going on? I haven't enabled water in...

Currently working on a plan found in one of the old 1960's Railway Modellers, effectively a terminus to terminus with a continuous run and a branch line. The problem as always with adapting this type of plan into Trainz (apart from the fact what's on paper doesn't always fit without a bit of...

Why is this still an issue in TRS22 (running the latest Steam build122427)? Was never a problem in TRS19 or earlier. This is with a PBR texture and modern procedural track, not old assets.

When creating a model railway I normally copy and paste the terrain height (usually -48m) to lower the floor level. In TRS19 you could overlap the edges to get a neat finish. Applying the same technique in TRS22, Surveyor is auto generating an additional tile/baseboard where the paste tool goes...

Quick question for the gurus. Currently have TRS22 installing on my development machine. My current TRS19 local content folder has some 40Gb of content from the DLS, etc. Can I simply copy and rename this then point TRS22 to it (or simply rename the TRS19 folder) or is that a recipe for disaster?

As part of Steam's train sim festival (which I originally thought was just DTG stuff, TSC and TSW) TRS22 finally got quite a nice discount - in the UK selling at £31.34 which is far more reasonable than the full asking price of £55! I assume other regions will get a similar discount. So if, like...

Just wondered if anyone has used this service to successfully abstract track plans for use in Basemapz etc. Thinking of giving it a go as a 3 month sub is only £8.80 which gives access to the entire back collection. That otherwise would barely pay for two second hand copies, if you can even find...

Next project on the books is a short "preservation" style route to run some of the old NYC subway cars on. Looking for a decent track type, preferably Protrack, with the correct style third rail. Sadly, with no disrespect to the original author, the NYC subway track on the DLS is nearly 20...

Probably of minor interest as there is only a handful of Trainz content hosted there but UK Trainsim http://www.uktrainsim.com/ is closing down on 31st August 2023. Any files hosted there will be lost unless the authors take action to archive and upload elsewhere.

Working on an upscaled miniature railway plan I have unidirectional two flat crossings where the track crosses over itself. Following the instructions here: Trainz Diamond Crossing | CDE Trainz Tutorials I set up a path for each of the two routes forming the diamond. I then entered the opposing...

So I see that Trainz 2022 has attracted a fairly meagre discount of 20% off in the Steam Winter Sale - still costing £44.00. As someone primarily interested in route/layout building and not driving the built in routes, are there any significant differences over '19 so far as the route building...

Any idea what needs to go in these fields, please? It would be nice if content uploaded required an English translation by default for "international" localisation. You can't even copy and paste from the field descriptions into Google Translate.

And this is why we need a better system: Is it really too much to ask for a system that just opens up the portal itself? Looks like this will have to be black paint and leave the terrain in place.

I know TRS19 is probably no longer supported but wonder if anyone has come across this one? I always set the water in Environment to 0,0,0 on the RGB dials in Surveyor for the best effect with texture underneath. However I have started to notice whenever I save the route in Surveyor the dials...

This is not intended to discuss the politics or rights and wrongs of what is happening between Russia and Ukraine, there are other forums and discussion mediums for that. However with Russia facing moderate to severe economic sanctions from most countries around the world, feel it is only fair...

Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of station buildings suitable for the above, typically a large town or small city terminus. There are plenty of through station types to choose from, the S&C payware route has several. The only one I've found...

Have I discovered another bug in '19. Setting up a demo session for my Bagnelastown Model route I had two trains set to orbit the route in each direction. Tested yesterday and worked fine. Loaded the route this morning to tinker a bit with the session and find two of the consists have vanished...

Sorry for the slight rant but really at times route building in this game gets so frustrating. Getting on really well with my Worcester based model railway layout, started testing and snagging the train movements. The layout has a couple of junctions involving diamond crossings so had set these...

Been playing around with these on my Worcester (Model Railway) layout. Note unlike the LMS ground signals they also serve as a junction lever, so if placed away from a junction you get two red arrows. Can I ask anyone who has used these on a route or layout, if they do still function correctly...

Was wondering if we have any assets to simulate a model railway situated in a loft (attic)? I've been looking at this lovely layout https://www.keymodelworld.com/article/yorkshire-dales-model-railway-oo-gauge and if you watch one of the several YT clips the owner has uploaded, e.g. you can...
