    How to reach goal of building a route with no asssets that would be missing.

    Peter, you and I have diametrical outlooks on the game, the main differences being your almost predictable responses regarding loyalty and defense of most aspects of the company and their decisions. I KNEW that if you did make a response , that you would make some sort of reply like this, I'm...

    How to reach goal of building a route with no asssets that would be missing.

    You might be able to do it for now, but in a few weeks , months, possibly as long as a year someone else may well release a route that nv3 bundle with your trainz version, which then makes some of the content in YOUR route packaged as part of THEIR route , in which case you'd have any content...

    Which MacBook Pro for Trainz 2019/2022?

    I used to be a huge Apple fan, now, I'm not, due to their restrictions on upgrading hard drives , RAM and the exorbitant prices they charge for them and their restrictive repair policies. its more or less ensured a short usable life for them . If you REALLY have to get a Mac, make use its...

    Microsoft announces a new threat to push people to Windows 11

    Well, i'm glad you didn't mean it personally. You are correct that if we use any online services that we contribute to the problem , but I was actually referring to Johns experiences with Microsoft, and to my own personal storage in the context of this thread . if I download or watch a movie...

    Microsoft announces a new threat to push people to Windows 11

    Ah the tired old argument that if I do use any technology I'm a hypocrite and should cut myself off totally from it if I advocate even the slightest bit of restraint. I didn't say I wanted it banned, I said I don't use it . Not telling you not to use it either , but you shouldn't make...

    Microsoft announces a new threat to push people to Windows 11

    Theres quite an extra energy impact from using cloud storage, here's a couple of instances I found online . "The combination of transmitting your data and storing it in a data center probably requires about 3 to 7 kWh per gigabyte. That's about a million times more than the energy you used to...

    The end of Trainz

    Have you carried out a extended database repair ? Lowered the game settings ? Ive had that sort of issue with one route years ago , i did get it to function eventually by opening it with the lowest settings. I am presuming you are using a silicon based Mac .

    least we forget Ben Dorsey

    Some will , some won't , I have ones I've burned 15 years ago, they are fine , it depends on the media , gold maxells seem to be losing the top coat, a bad sign, and they were supposed to be better quality at the time, but I never just rely on one copy, I have multiple backups on both hd and cd...

    least we forget Ben Dorsey

    it is an issue, best send them to a couple of folks who are trustworthy. i'll happily archive them for you as I have loads of HD space. or burn the lot to dvd and leave instructions as to what to do with them at the event of death or incapacitation. .

    least we forget Ben Dorsey

    .....and now , its five years since Ben left us and some of those who commented here on his passing have joined him in the great railway in the sky ( or where ever it is that old railway modelers end up. ) RIP Ben, Euromodeller , ISH and Clam 1952, and any other of prolific members who have...

    The Willunga Branch

    I've uploaded a WIP , only about 50% completed , of about 18 miles of this route to the DLS just in case anything prevents me from completing the work, the sudden deaths of Euromodeller and Malcolm (clam1952 ) when they both had yet to complete prototypical routes that were not on the DLS has...

    DEM Earthworks

    "I run roads across each other and do not fix the splines. I smooth the roads though underneath. This prevents the roads from squishing down the terrain and in the process losing the hill they are on. Where there are intersections, it takes a bit of practice to get the roadway smooth on the...

    DEM Earthworks

    I don't see how crossroads would work , unless you could tilt each of the 4 road entries in different directions and even then, the centre section would probably stay flat. This was my problem , crossroads every 200 feet or so on sloping ground which ended up with a series of flat sections at...

    Asset removed from the Download Station

    I seem to remember Avery Drexel being bundled with Trainz 2010, I certainly don't remember paying for it. The first version I had was editable and I customized it a lot and ran it frequently , it was a great route for the era.

    DEM Earthworks

    I am constructing two routes in 2019 and although I have 2022 Platinum , I never use it, I do not subscribe to any Trainz version and never will, so HD terrain isn't available to me until it arrives at the standard version of Trainz, which will probably be around 2028 at the rate we are going. .

    Asset removed from the Download Station

    We often don't have any choice, routes get made payware content included years after they were first made. Ive made routes using freeware items items that later get used by a payware creator and then we get folks like you complaining about it. If NV3 decide to take an asset or route and make it...

    DEM Earthworks

    It doesn't always work well, as it depends on the design of the asset, , you need to find something that sticks close to the terrain and some splines do not., but I often use road/rail splines to give smooth gradients or cuttings for that matter . I know what you mean about DEMS inaccuracy, the...
