- Mexico - Ferrocarril de Altas Montañas (FdAM)

[Forester1]

Wow! Words are failing me. What a phenomenal amount of work! Amazingly well done sir!

 

[jonwray]

Spectacular! I look forward to finally having a place to run Ferromex/Ferrosur content! (And maybe some cheeky KCSM )

 

[flusi737]

Thanks guys We even run the KCS without M, out of necessity usually

Nice screenshot, the KCS looks great here.

Started work on an extension on both sides of the Atlantic Subdivision, bringing it to a length of approximately 90-100km instead of 60. Terrain and grades will again be handmade, which is a pain...

Here's the first few images of "Estaciones Oaxaca" coming into existance. In real life, that one was abandoned long ago...

@flusi737 what Trainz simulator are you building this in? if mentioned before sorry in advance

 

[flusi737]

@RetroRails12 This is TRS22 119451 right now. Runs the most stable for me, so i still refrain from updating it

In other news...here's Oaxaca

 

[Forester1]

Dang. Yet another reason to upgrade....

 

[epa]

Oh my...

That is incredible, Flusi! Very nice work.

[john2002]

is that dreadnought end gondola a custom?

 

[flusi737]

Thanks forester1 and epa! John...uh, that is a really good question. Never really thought about it, but now that you mention it - yeah i guess so
As stated before i usually am not in charge of the roster so i use what my project partners create. In this case that gondola, apparently

Also, Oaxaca now added to the diagram. Its spelled something like "Wahaka" btw if anyone is wondering

 

[flusi737]

Oaxaca is done

 

[flusi737]

San Antonio Soledad, on the upper end of the Atlantic Sub. Mexican high plateau

 

[flusi737]

Mexican plateau...the begin of it anyways

 

[java23]

Ouch !!

You feel that it is hot, arid, desert, that you're becoming thirsty, have difficulties to breathe !
There seems to be no living being in this damn dusty landscape !

Your screenshots are as horrible as the real thing !!

Cheers,

Philippe

P.S. : the first image tooks me several seconds to decide if it was a real one or a TrainZ one ...

Excellent work @flusi737.

Been following your build for some time now, but avoided comments as I don't have TRS22, or a computer built that can handle a route like yours, LOL.

[flusi737]

Oh wow what in gods name happened here

@java23 What an outrageous display of hate speech that was. Unbelievable Nah for real, thanks and i quite agree.

@ Rico thanks man Yeah its hard even on my machine, but i suspect trainz having kind of a memory leakage right now as if you freshly load the route its fine even in the port area, but 2-3h in its a stuttery mess. Not too sure whats that about yet

Back on toipc I've seen the same issue with Trainz + after a long session - never been sure if it's the game or my PC though.

You have a lovely looking route and I always look forward to seeing fresh shots of it, even though it's literally thousands of miles away from my main modelling interests.

 

[flusi737]

It's definitely the game, i monitored it in quite a few sessions so far. I also think it is worse in the current TRS22 than it was in older versions before - but the startup/loading performance is better now. You win some, you loose some i guess Ah and thanks

Here's some random shots to break up the last 1,5 pages and get it back on topic

 

[ricomon35]

You clearly see things differently to the rest of us. I see no bold, just a large font which might be a setting issue or an eyesight issue, and the only caps (two words) are for emphasis - a standard and perfectly reasonably use of written English.

I've said it once, but I'll say it again a little less subtly - for your own credibility's sake, I'd wind your neck in if I were you. There's only one person having a tantrum here.

Yes, it is an eyesight issue.
I can't stand the itty-bitty teensy-weensy default font size.
Even on my 27" 21:9 monitor !

@flusi737 - I hope to be buying a new motherboard, RAM and CPU, later this year. Then add a new copy of TRS22, but not until it becomes much more stable.
Not working these days due to health issues, and waiting for Social Security Disability Insurance to get approved, which, in the States, is a very long process. (264 days average)

Looking at a new Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE @ about 280 USD, Kingston FURY Impact 32gig RAM x 4 @300 USD, and a Ryzen AMD 5600x @140 USD.
I already have WD Black and SSD drives, watercooling, a huge case and a 850 w Gold PSU.

I have a small group of route builders I admire, that I'd like to someday collaborate on a (TRS22-24?) MP Surveyor build, and you are definitely one !
