    Grading Terrain and Water - S2.0

    Grade is relative to your view. Using the grade tool and stroking upwards increases the grade from the point that one begins the stroke. Stroking downwards reduces the grade from the point that one begins the stroke. So by changing your view angle you can control the grading in different...

    Trials and tribulations of a route upgrader

    Replacing textures when upgrading my route to PBR textures was a real chore. Took me weeks. What I ended up doing was to concentrate on the baseboards close to the track, that is, the ones through which the track crossed. As I came to each one, I would add two or three textures that were not...

    The Canadian Thread - Hi-Res images

    West from Field in the early days trains climbed to Muskeg Summit, a 4, 330 feet pass, which also required helper locomotives. In later years the pass was avoided by rerouting the line to follow the river in what was known as the Ottertail Bypass. The river widened considerable but there was...

    The Canadian Thread - Hi-Res images

    The 1,142 foot plunge from the Kicking Horse Pass to the Kicking Horse River bed was originally made on a 4.5% grade known as the “Big Hill”. Originally intended to be temporary, it lasted 25 years. In 1909 it was replaced by the Spiral Tunnels. The original bridge over Divide Creek...

    How to deleting missing textures?

    I am having problems deleting missing textures from a route. I seem to recall that there is a trick to it but I can’t find the note I made regarding how to do it. After carrying out a “Delete Missing Assets” the textures remain in the dependencies list as “available for download” and on...

    Errors missing track in West of Denver

    When running West of Denver I get the following errors. I am not sure what this means, what they are, or how to fix them. I can’t run sessions 01 Winter Park West Bound or 02 Winter Park East Bound due to missing kuid:56524:100506. When running west I soon encounter missing track. Cayden

    I attempted to install TRS22 while retaining TRS19 by trying to follow the steps provided in an email from N3V and it did not go well. I lost TRS19. TRS22 did not appear in the Start Menu (1) and the Trainz .cdp icons are blank (2). Where should I go from here? I can open TRS22 from the...

    Portal Problem

    Is there a way to produce only one train from a portal on command? I would like an existing train on the route to cause a portal to produce one train, such as when it passes a trigger. Next time it passes the trigger I would like it to produce a second train, and so on. I have set up Central...

    How far the hobby has fallen

    Note: At Tony Hilliam’s suggestion in order to hopefully generate some discussion I have moved this post to a new thread in the Trainz Simulator TRS19 forum, the version of Trainz it perhaps most pertains to, though not exclusively. I have edited the beginning to unlink it from the previous...

    Poor Waldo

    https://youtu.be/jc0lYTvyT-Y In the new upgrade (Mac 100134) in Surveyor I can’t get him off the ground! Adjust height for an object doesn’t seem to be working. I was going to put him on the station platform but if I add the station he will be underneath. Anyone else have this problem? Cayden
