Just playing around with clutter effects in TRS22. The ground texture is Mud Dry. Phil

I'm slowly getting to grips with Surveyor 2.0 One issue though -- In Surveyor 2 I made an additional Route layer and named it "Textures 1". I added a whole series of PBR textures in this layer. I then crossed out the eye symbol in this layer to see what the route looked like without the...

I've been fiddling around in TRS19 with SP5 with some of my Download Station routes and layouts. Despite taking great care when making them and checking them before uploading to the Download Station, Content Manager now shows missing dependencies. Some of the missing dependencies are...

I clear out all the assets that are not built-in to give me a clean copy of TRS22. I construct a layout, using only assets that are either built-in or from the Download Station. I save the layout as a cdp file to my HDD. To check that the layout uses only built-in and DLS dependencies I once...

Central Portal Control is a rule that allows the configuration of all the portals on a route from one screen. An additional feature is that it allows an AI train to be emitted from a portal immediately at the start of the session, at time zero. This is not possible when configuring a portal in...

A request, if I may. I have a reasonably high end PC -- water cooled, i9, RTX 3070. I have uploaded a layout which includes both TurfFX and Clutter Effects. I know from my older PC that TurfFX has minimal impact on frame rates. I don't have the older PC, just the newer, and can't detect any...

Last night I uploaded a video in the Screenshot Forum. In part it showed how to load and unload freight cars in TRS22 using Surveyor Classic. I then had a comment on the video, asking how loading and unloading was done in Surveyor 2.0. This video shows how it's done in Surveyor 2.0. Note: To...

I was going to post screen grabs, but decided to post the full video instead. It's a session from the Wattz & Voltz Railroad, an interurban railroad that in the later years of its existence was operated by steam and finally diesel. You are Chuck & Joe. You signed in and reported to The...

I've also posted this in the PWeiser thread in the Freeware Forum. Phil

I've just watched the videos of the new routes that come with TRS2022. Wow!~! -- they look absolutely stunning. They are several orders of magnitude better than any of the built-ins with previous editions of Trains. Does anybody know who the route creators were? Videos here...

How can I contact a Moderator to unlock the thread that I started here: https://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?156369-The-Cilie-Oldphartz-Railroads I received an email that the layouts and sessions were now available from the Trainz Store. The sessions provide a link back to the above...

Some time ago I made a youtube video showing how freight cars could be loaded and unloaded using Edit Trains. And how locomotives and freight cars could be removed and added. The video was made in T:ANE and the same procedure worked in the original release of TRS19. Things changed...

I could not resist making a video using trainboi1's wonderful Yosemite Valley Railroad #26, a 2-6-0 Mogul, switching boxcars on one of the new sections of "The Krashnburne". Chuck & Joe are working The Phactoriez, a run down, depressed, decaying and desolate industrial manufacturing area that...

Anyone here old enough to remember VMD -- Virtual-Motive-Division? They made both freeware and payware. I first came across them when I purchased Trainz 2004, so that was almost two decades ago. At the time the quality of the models was outstanding. In fact, even by today's standards the are...

TRS19 - work progresses I thought I'd go the "Full Monty" with this little layout to see how it looked with almost all the ground covered with TurfFX and to see if full ground cover reduced frame rates. I can report minimal impact with the latter. For the former I'll let you be the judge...

Anybody here who constructs routes and layouts knows that THE two most important buttons in Surveyor are the Undo / Redo buttons. In SP1 they are gone. Gone!~! Actually they are hidden two steps down in a menu. No quick access. And it makes multiple undos a real pain in the butt. Please...

A call for help here, please. In a session for one of my T:ANE layouts I used a selection of boxcars with graffiti by the prolific uploader of boxcars and other rolling stock, rgcx. I find that three of the boxcars that I used in the T:ANE session are on the Download Station but try as I may...

Some may have purchased the Deluxe version of T:ANE? Or purchased the "Bidye" as DLC? This is an update to bring it up to TRS19 standards. I'll feed it into the system for processing by the DLC team. It's the second of my traction layouts (the other being "The Shortz & Kerl"). But on a much...

It's "The Port Zyd & Fulaztern Railroad", another of my model layouts included in TMR17 and subsequently made available as DLC for T:ANE and TRS19. And again, after seeing it in TRS19, I thought it desperately needed a TRS19 work over -- the new TRS19 track, the new PBR 3D textures, the new...

A week or so ago I had a PM with a question about my "The Shortz & Kerl Traction Railroad", one of my model Trainz layouts. It was originally made for and included in the TMR17 release, then became DLC and now has a version that works in TRS19. I downloaded and installed the layout into TRS19...
