I think the "2008" is the cause of your confusion?
When searching on the Download station search for 2004 and 2006 ;)

Try to do it this way
visit http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php
Untick the 2009 box so that it is NOT included in your search
TICK only the 2006 and 2004 boxes.
Like this

Here I have searched USERNAME Rumour3

And go through the results until you find this entry..

Hi,

Thank you for this answer but not the track that are available on the screens above.

Best regards,
Franz;)

[Muliebuck]

If I follow you, you're wanting track like the UK Bullhead 2009 type, not the 2004 type (which is similar, just not as 'detailed'?

[Muliebuck]

Just a few, from a little something I started today - I hope you all enjoy them.

Franz,
I am sorry, but that is why Auran upgrades Trainz every 12 months or so. They introduce new ways of doing things ;) If the 2004/6 version is not good enough, I guess you are just going to have to go and buy a copy of Trainz 2009 :hehe:
Otherwise we would all be still using Community Edition circa 2001 :o

I like the way you persist in acting out the position of Commissioner QR. (I think :confused: )
And I guess it has taken some a time to work out what you are doing :hehe:
However may I suggest that in future you remove the photographs in the quotes when you post? Simply remove anything between {img} {/img}
It will help to load the pages a lot quicker, and people simply look back at the original post should they need to check the pics.

Trainz89

i used a method employed by workshop staff, sometimes a locomotive would be ready to be returned to service from the workshop visit before its tender and instead of having a loco sitting idle they had donor or temp tenders from scrapped locos on hand to put the loco back into action. i simply followed that process.

right now the BB-18 1/4 has its correct tender.

Wasn't aware anyone was building or even attempting the Airport line. Great work! Have you checked for any missing dependencies? Sometimes that can stop things from showing up. Happened to me a few times. Keep the screens coming Ryan, you've got some good stuff there.

Hi miappl

Yeah, it must be the loco itself. I installed the cab & to test it I put in on the SAR 520 class temporarily, worked perfectly. The 1st time I tried to download everything, the black tender showed in Surveyor but not the boiler section. So I deleted everything and tried again, same result. Anyway, by way of deduction, it's got to be the loco itself.

You guys are unreal ....struggeling over this? Lets get back to computer basics Before there were CDP's to install
Winzip Winrar are compression programs you need to download the program to open the file and extract the folder inside.
OH-NO! what do I do with the folder inside?
If you understand your CMP what is it file/import cdps or import content!!
that will import the content for you and it will work or if you still dont understand simpley open CMP and edit the config and change the interior kuid to the built in Auran PB15 kuid:-3:10191
and have you got the other necessary bits? on QDR did you read the instructions ? or download n run "LOL"

Zec, the loco looks great.

But 09 looks pretty shocking. I'm guessing thats in native mode. Those trees look terrible.

But the loco does look excellent. Nice work.
Dan

[S301]

Yep, native mode, and only problem is I've used non 09 native mode trees. I did a quick test before. Using a set of fully 09 native trees (just a random one of Jan's), I replaced every tree on the layout. I was actually able to push the view distance closer to the 5KM, since there was little to no alpha blended objects in the scene :D

But yeah, the trees plus a couple of small items (which I'm working on replacements for some) are the only non native compatible items on the layout :) Once we start seeing 09 native trees (and other items as well) come out, it will be fantastic. The grass that's in those pics is a native mode grass which I've modified from Jankvis' new 09 native grasses (basically I've made some 'direct' replacement grasses for some of the 04 grasses).

hey pete

how did you get the water to look like that?
thats a brilliant screenie

cheers
ron

[ad602000]

the water is part of a water texture pack by dmdrake which I laid down first after having dropped the watercourse level lower than the ground by about 5 feet then I spun the texture to overcome the repetitiveness. At the top of the gorge i again dropped the ground and pushed that into the cliff to set it back from the track and used the same water texture to get that "smear" effect you get with textures on vertical surfaces.(looks like falling water) Then I chose the rock textures and edged them onto the side of the water texture spinning them as well then I put the trestle in place and placed a water fall effect sprayee thing under the trestle and buried the mesh part of it and then a waterfall bottom plume effect and slightly placed that down stream and buried it till I had the right amount of "spray" Any textures not close to the track were not spun. So I started from the lowest point and worked my way up. The Forrest a mixture of DMDrake trees and Victorian Forrest spline(s)(author not known at time of writing) but I think it comes from the puffing billy layout

Pete, that route looks very nice, good work.

A trick though (which you might know but others might not) is to hold the ] key while applying textures. This rotates the texture and gives a more "realistic" feel to texturing.
Just my thoughts.

Couldn't have said that better myself Puffingbilly

you should have tried it on the Glenn Innes mail.... pity when we did it it had a 44 rather than a P class up front....

yea often went on the mail to Tenterfield too then hit the pub for a counter meal etc then back home

always was a 44 class on her in my day as I was brought up in the era of diesel only

I'd give anything to ride on the mails headed by steam or early diesel power!

Davido, how are the 38's and V sets coming along? I would be more than happy to help test run either or any of your creations if wish for some feed back! :)

Note the signal - MK 143 signal that actually in reality has a black box route indicator on it like / to indicate the next junction/crossover

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ghosty
Hi Ron
I was hoping to get it finished and ready to upload by the end of the year! Since I've started to make new stuff I don't know now, work on the route has slowed down although most of the track and roads are in place. Just trying to work out what old trees and houses need replacing. Decided to complete one section at a time and upload that, rather than the whole lot as the route CDP is over 30mb now. So there will be probably 3 sections of 10-12mbs.
Cheers Will

[Garrad]

Thanks Mitchey, Scottling & Ausrail8040.

Scottling, I've been working on this since I got TRS06 (sometime in 2006) & only have Northgate-Caboolture to go.

As I work for QR, I am unable to share this route. Remember when a guy came onto this forum a while ago boldly proclaiming he was now a railway employee & was offering to share QR info to anyone who asked? You may also remember I told him where he'll end up if he did that - not in QR. I'm sure Lenice will agree with me on that one. If you travel on the train, you can see the same stuff that everyone sees and put it into your routes, that's all I've done. As anyone who has built a prototypical route will tell you, it takes a keen eye, a good memory... and Google Earth.

I'm not telling you where to go, just explaining how it is. I've started to put up these screenies because I'm proud of my efforts to date and people seem to like them (thanks guys). If you don't like them, so what? Also, as a tribute to all of the creators who created the content, to show them that it is used and appreciated. Also, I have learnt a lot of building techniques by seeing others' screenies and if someone learns something from mine, their Trainz experience will be more realistic. That's what this forum's all about after all.

PS Scottling, I DO so have Sonne03's brilliant catenary in places, that cab view Mitchey refered to has some of it lit up by the headlight, hehehe. It's just that rewiring hundreds of km's of line already built is a hell of a job and unless it's needed, I couldn't be stuffed. Hopefully there'll be some spleens coming along:wave:

Don't worry about time required for building your route - it will happen, and if you don't feel like building for a while, stop. You're not getting paid for it, it's a hobby.

Thanks for the kind words all.

Ryan


Sorry to raise an old topic, I'd just like to clear my name (and get my thoughts known) being the "guy who would give QR info to anyone who asked".

I just want it known that I'd "see what I can do" (as was in the original thread I started), with every intention of clearing the disclosure with appropriate management and/or HR etc etc as required. Being a mechanical engineer, I've dealt with a few queries from the public on various matters, including information that, personally, doubted would be disclosed when in fact it was.

QR are, to my surprise, quite often happy to keep the railfans happy, to a certain extent, and I see this as QR extending respect to all railfans. Of course, there are the cowboys who'll put their lives in danger in order to get the moneyshot, and these are the ones I worry about... not because they're obsessive, we just don't want them putting their health and more worryingly, lives at risk. As long as you're pursuing what you want through appropriate channels and everything is kept above-board, everyone, I woudl imagine, would be happy.

QR does, as any organisation who undertakes major projects, have IP policies in place to prevent sensitive information from being disclosed, and I had absolutely no intention of breaching these, at least without appropriate approval.

There, a big weight lifted. Thanks for listening.

Thank you Garrad,
for taking the time to reply. I have worked for the Railways in Victoria 30 years before retiring ill health in 2000. I have never heard of anyone being in trouble for sharing information, and I have at least a dozen replies from QR over recent years, that have helped me with my model railway too.
Asked to use their paint schemes on a model.. no problems!
Asked for better plans, than were otherwise available, referred to the right person, given a price for copying and mail, and received them 5 days later.
Auran themselves have been assisted by their State Railway QR.
Anyway like you said, old news, and glad to see you are still employed :hehe:
Cheers
Rod

[ad602000]

I dont see any reason why you think there is a need to "clear your name" You have principles you live by and you show you are not prepared to comprimise those principles. I think everyone here respects your stance. There are, some younger users who show the obligatory impatience that comes with their age, but it is your content and your decision. I have lots of models etc that I have never released and probably a lot that everyone else wishes I had'nt.

The point is, it is your decision and you do not have to explain it to us. The fact that you chose to, is evidence that you hold us in regard. The fact that most people here have not badgered you over it is evidence they hold you in regard.

Hi all!

Sorry, been away from the forums a while. There are some nice screenies out there!

I have returned to the forum after a week or so inspired after taking a trip to Toowoomba and Spring Bluff for the Carnival of Flowers, which was rather enjoyable, if I may say so, except for the gusty and dusty weather...

Sadly, I didn't see any trains until returning to Brisbane... Oh well...

Oh! And one other thing... Happy Late Birthday, Ghosty!

I believe Pete still develops for '04 also, which is an excellent idea. As long as it works in all three versions, better to sacrifice a tiny bit of quality (which I wager most casual trainzers like myself would not even notice) to ensure that all Trainz players have access to as much content as possible.

That said, nothing against folks who develop the really cutting edge stuff for 06 and then 09, you get the majority of the players then, and can really push the limits of the simulator.

Well the screen shot is from 09, but I first created the item in 04 tested it out and then used CMP in 09 to update it. All I would need to do is change one line in the config and the DLS will see it as an 04 model.

All going well will package it all up later this week and then send to the DLS and then wait. If anybody wants to play with in then mean time send me a message.

Better still get in touch with Dougea as he has allready done it, I built the depot shed for the route and also the Newcastle trams, the L/P's as well as many of the steam era cars.

No idea where he is up to with the project at present:) :) :)

Ryan,
Just curious, is that a dated version of the yard? It has been quite a while since I was down there but I don't quite remember the loop looking like that. They are all great screens too. The level of pics coming out at the moment from everyone seems to be getting better and better.

[ad602000]

about two and a half years ago i got fed up with this, because of a lack of decent drawings and left it on the hard drive. Recently, I found really excellent drawings for this and with a little bit of cajoling and excellent drawings managed to "persuade Bill Fock to build the bogies. "November" he said, at the earliest. I'm glad he doesnt stick to time tables.:D:D:D I decided to rebuild the whole loco, below is the result.

This is the first in game screenie of the worlds first Garratt locomotive The TGR K1 loco 2 foot guage from the north east dundas tramway, (sort of explains the layout I have been playing with recently)

[Ryan_McC]

Yeah, the scenery hasn't been updated for a while. When I went there one day (a long while ago now), there was some sort of construction (destruction?) going on in the background, hence the fenced off dirt patch out the back. My Pinkenba was mostly built from Google Maps images as you can't drive very far into the area. There were a heap of petrol wagons in the sidings near the entrance to the yard just behind the camera in the above view. Some looked like they'd been moved recently, others not so. I might have to go on a Steam Train Sunday trip to investigate further.

Ryan

Really? I've seen them when LVRF were running that train in that combo (until 2004-5?) but I don't think the colour combos right, although I know they own (or hired) a reverse 44.
It used to come through Broadmeadow around 11.00 in the morning.
I'm glad to here the places are accurate. At the moment I'm prototypically naming junctions and signals so you won't be seeing any new locations (apart from the sections that are done but I rarely care to run to them) shown.

Daniel:D

[taggy]

They are mind blowingly accurate Daniel. You are a very talented modeller indeed. Keep up the great work! :clap:

[Davido]

Dave, heres a good pic of the 44 that you asked for:p

snip

(and NO the 38 or 44 are NOT released, they are fantastic betas
not released to the public)

Looks good in that sterile light too Grasshopper :p:hehe:

[DelecServiceCentre]

gday all does anyone know if trainz 2010 engineneers edition will intergrate with 2009 wbe great screen shots by all its good to see the 44s back in action at least they are not deed and buried in this would i also uploaded a route to the download station if any has downloaded this could u please give me some feedback what u think of it and where i could inprove on future routes also if u would like to edit this route for inprovements i would not have a problem with that cheers glenn:)

Ha ha ha this going to make you laugh - anybody want to help me out - I do not have the content dispatcher on my computer anymore - thats the tool that spits out a CMD file in a 04. :hehe: :confused: :( :wave: :p

I'm very rusty on 2004. Is that in the Trainz_Asset_Content_Creation_Studio.zip? If so, I have a backup I could e-mail. But I can't find much else from my 2004 days.

ok rub it in David:o

I'll add one of a less exciting route than others at the moment. (Daniel):hehe:

This depicks the East bound Xplorer from Cowrie heading through Kangaroo Gap towards it's next stop at Wonga. This service had crossed it's West bound counterpart at Nonbina.

(sorry to keep posting) - but Matt, these are fantastic. I need some more everyday "street" content for close to the tracks eg, the straight section around Tuggerah. These are exactly what I need:D Congradulations on the marriage, hope the weddings is/was(?) great.


Thanks Daniel for the kind words (I got married last Saturday! :) ) , glad you have found some use for my content! Very much looking forward to the Short North when its released :D :mop: , the stretch between Waratah and Maitland is one of my most favourite spots in NSW for train watching :cool: !

Anyway I don't have any plans at the moment for more scenery as I'm currently back to modelling rollingstock, namely the CFCLA CQBY container wagons being my current project, (will post screens soon!)


Cheers, :wave:

[3830]

ok rub it in David:o

Just a harmless joke;). BTW Pete, I've changed up the lighting a bit and I like it a little more. You were right, the pics were way to orange because I had the contrast alot darker on my screen, all fixed though.

I'll add one of a less exciting route

That screenie is great! Less exciting my arse. I love your use of the Jankvis' trackside grass, very realistic. That tree in the foreground is interesting:p
Try using a darker texture and colour under the trees, provides more "depth" and "shading." Thats just what I think, keep em' coming though.

(I got married last Saturday! :) )

Matt, I'm looking forward to these. Some new container wagons are defiantly in order. Maybe do a "gunmetal" variant without the CFCLA logos on so it can be ran with say 80s locos. I'd be happy to give you a bogey sound file to put on the bogeys. I have them on everything I run with, provides some more realism.
Once again congradulations on the marriage:D

Lets go back to the 1960s. It's an era of run down 4 wheel wagons and branchlines in Victoria, and the T class is the mainstay of these branchlines. In these images, we will be following a goods from Tarrawarra to Healesville.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0002t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0002.jpg)
To start our series of images, we see T376 coasting through a slightly run down Tarrawarra. The train isn't working hard yet, since the track is almost level across the Tarrawarra flats.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0007t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0007.jpg)
Further on, we see the T working hard up the grade to the tunnel. The train is now about half way been Tarrawarra and Healesville.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0009t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0009.jpg)
Having conquered the grade up to the tunnel, T376 rolls down the grade towards Healesville.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0010t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0010.jpg)
Having reached the bottom of the grade, T376 slowly rolls across the newly laid track, near the Donovans Road bridge.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0013t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0013.jpg)
Almost at journeys end, T376 has just passed the only signal at Healesville.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0015t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0015.jpg)
We now see the T shunting the train at Healesville. The driver will leave the two T vans on the crossing whilst he pushes the cattle wagons and liquid chlorine wagon into the stock siding. He will then put the T vans and IT wagons into the goods shed road.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0017t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0017.jpg)
Now in the goods shed road, we see the train rolling past the bulk loads elevator towards the goods shed.

Zec

[S301]

Another feature of the 1960s was run down branchlines. These of course often meant that track needed to be replaced outright. On the up side of Donovans Road, just outside of Healesville, is just such a case. As part of this collection, we actually get to see some images of a ballast train assisting with these repair.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0019t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0019.jpg)
After having shunted the goods consist and assembled the ballast train, we see T376 sitting next to the loco shed prior to departing for the first ballast run.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0021t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0021.jpg)
In this next image we see the ballast train coasting down the grade from the Donovans Road bridge. It's only a short distance to the new sections of track.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0022t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0022.jpg)
We now see the train sitting at the edge of the newly laid track, whilst the crew prepare the ballast plough.

http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0024t.jpg (http://zecrail.victrainz.com.au/stuff/images/9am%20healesville%20goods/S301_20091008_0024.jpg)
The final image of this set shows a very beaten, worn and patched QN36 dropping a load of ballast onto the track. The ballast plough will now help spread the ballast, and the track gang will then pack it under the sleepers.

Thank you for viewing :)

Great work, keep it up

[ad602000]

actually I noticed the change in effect as well as the sky having a bit of feature to it and really like it, but deciided to keep my head down rather than cause afront which wasnt my intention. I just felt something was "missing", IMO it was the lack of features in the sky rather than the lighting,I know there are gray days we have plenty of those in the ACT, but there is always some feture in the sky. I'm ranting sorry, but your current screenies are even more pleasing than your previous ones. I might even have to load 2009 to use the layout, apart from the fact I now own two versions of trs I have never used

Bringing up a small issue, here guys. Last year someone asked about the missing QR C17 kuid 62909:17000-17001, and was told the creator would upload soon. I believe that there is still nothing on the DLS matching this KUID. Any ideas why?:o

yes it was mentioned and i was the one that mentioned it. i will have to chase the creator up again and see if they will let another person upload them, but if you ask nicely i can let you have a copy of the missign files as i do have them and permission to hand them to those that require them. all you have to do is send me an email requestign the c-17 cab interriors.

It goes from Point Clare (south Gosford) to Singleton (upper Hunter) and I don't know how I'll release it. Maybe Singleton to Broadmeadow (w/Newcaste) and Broadmeadow to Gosford. They'll match up perfect though.
Umm time frame? Year 2050 haha. I don't know, theres alot of gmax things and I'm in no way looking forward to them:'(

Anyone care to try and guess where?

Benno,

[3830]

Cowra (since theres the Cowra rail bridge in the background), I don't know where else has a bridge like Cowras?

Maybe SMR since theres a 10 class sitting somewhere on your route?
(to be honest I have no clue;)) Looks good anyway.

There were a couple of locations that used the same style of bridge as Cowra's.

Bathurst for one

Go the Fords - Jack Perkins -
Bearcat almost at Bathurst :)

[3830]

Benno. I'll give you some surveryor tips to realism?
1. Rotating textures: hold the ] key while placing textures. This makes them lose that "repetitive" look.
2. Use boobless_ed's cliffs and cuttings, textures and trees. Those auran trees tend to make things look like a model railway.
3. Shading: use the textures you have to provide depth in you landscape. Under trees there will be shade, so use a darker colour. Under bridges there is shade so darken it up.

Also make a large square (6x6 on the grid) of your base colour (for out west a sort-of dry grass) then place intermediate textures inside like differents grasses etc so it doesn't look plain. (use the smallest rotation for this) then use the copy and paste tool and cover large areas. = faster route building and will make the route look consistent.

Thats just what I do, its up to you;) I thought that might help anyone with queries about making nice routes.
Daniel

OH! press F5 when in driver and taking screenshots. This will remove all the "custom hud" like the ai things and controls.

yea my layout of the hunter is huge too.


stretches from Gosford to Narrabri Muswellbrook to Ulan ,Maitland to Gloucester and into Newcastle ,with all coal mine loops etc signals etc.


Just so wish atm had some more NSW type signals that are of the real kind in those places


It's a never ending project least track is down with all current changes that have been done but so need to do more scenery and fix a few mistakes in it but least I can go for a drive and have the feel.

[3830]

Defiantly post some pics!! Have you used hog or DEM in the route? Must take ages to load. Thats what, like 200+ kms of track, not to mention all the yards.

The signals are there in 06 and on the DLS. Natvander has made them

no DEM etc, all done from TRANZ over the years.

Ones I'am after Nav never did - as much as I tried begging for them. lol.

3 aspect with yellow low speed dolly siding lights to the left and right IE to Ashton Coal siding, Into Bengalla, 2 aspect low speed dolly light into Dartbrook Balloon Loop (not that that is being used atm) and new ones now used between Muswellbrook and Antiene and Branxton - Maitland and around Sandgate with Box direction led indicators.Also the 1 aspect right/left diverge with the little dolly light under the 3 direction lights that are in use at like Drayton,Mt Thorley.

Wish I had the skill to design them myself but every time I try i get lost in GMAX.

But it keeps me busy still doing changes etc to the layout so it sure has been a big layout to do but is the area i grew up in especially Muswellbrook.

yea those too the little dolly light below the turnout indicator is usually yellow with a route indicator on them too , but there are still heaps of NSW signals around that are not part of TRS at all that I wish I had to make signalling my layout as real as possible.



I am sort of a safeworking guru I have studied them all my life so sure know what they are at different places.

usually I have to try and use a foreign signal ie - British one to kinda show the same thing but it isn't quite the same.

There is even a 2 aspect one now like the 3 in the pic you posted with a left/right diverge now in use at a few locations in NSW At Saxonvale Junction the Down Home is a 2 aspect left diverge and the main head displays caution or a flashing medium and stop.Of coarse without the route indicator below.

At Wilpingjong Junction there is a 2 aspect left diverge into the mine with clear/stop main head indicators.

NSW signaling has so improved over the last few years we have so many new type ones in service.

I Had That Book For Five Years In The Archives But I Have The Original Diagrams From Ipswich.

That ASG Was The Worst Locomotive In The History Of QGR Becuase The Department Was Forced By The Australian Labor Goverment To Accept These Stupid But Poorly Designed Garrats. QGR Wanted More C17's But Were Denied But A Political Railway War Broke Out Between The Commonwelth Land Transport Board & The Queensland Goverment Railways Department.

And, sorry, But I'm a bit busy at the moment... Gotta overhaul a PB15 in 5" Gauge... (It's actually harder than you Think)... lol

Just a quick question while the nsw singals are under topic...
Does anyone know why a few of my signals are dimmer ( ie the light itself)

just guessing but probably it's your graphics card that is the problem maybe?

[ad602000]

maybe its the different versions of trs

[davepem]

forgot to say on here too that I guess with the talk I have done here about NSW signals and the ones that are not made on TRS yet, I would love to challenge people here with GMAX ability to maybe discuss making more of them so all of us NSW people can use them - rather that using USA/UK ones

am always willing to chat and discuss - I just don't seem to be able to use GMAX and understand it

But would be great to post shots here of NSW signals etc.

I hope to post some shots of my layout again here soon .

Pete,
PM

[NR_121]

just guessing but probably it's your graphics card that is the problem maybe?

I think it could be the Trainz version. I have the same problem. Was okay in 2006 but changed when I installed 09. It looked the same now after I changed graphic cards and updated drivers, as it did before.

I should re install 2006 to get a better comparison.

Warren.

Hello All

Dear James, I Have Sent You A Memo About My QGR C16 Class Project & Your Diagrams Which I Can't Sent Without An Address.

Dear Master Hurley, You Sailing In Uncharted Waters Becuase Gmax Is Very Common With Trainz Users, So As QGR Commissioner I'd Advice You To Beware & Take Great Care. I Have Helped Dreddman With His B13 Project Which He Required The Dimensions & I Loaned Him An Original Ipswich Railway Workshops Diagram Of That Class.

Hay Guys a few questions - how do I set up Blender to export for trains, were do I put the export thing o.

Is there a way to get Gmax files into blender.

Thanks in Advance as I know you guys are going to give the best answers.

[scottling]

Cowra (since theres the Cowra rail bridge in the background), I don't know where else has a bridge like Cowras?

Maybe SMR since theres a 10 class sitting somewhere on your route?
(to be honest I have no clue;)) Looks good anyway.

Just wondering, is that the normal XPT as modeled by psycho_aussie, or a different version?
And one more thing, where is the NSW Catenary available from?

[ad602000]

Bear, there is a blender export thread in community, I have been tinkering with it but I dont understand any of it yet

pete

[3830]

That is the newer XPT and the catenary was a public beta that due to public distribution problems has now been removed and is not to be be passed around.
It will be available once it is complete.:)

I had a look aswell and i only could see psyco aussies xpts from a year or 2 ago

are these the ones?

Hi all

As per my previous post, I've got a little 'gift' to the community.

It's a 'beta' (more a finished, but still needs some changes :P ) version of the Healesville route. It will get updated before it goes to the DLS mind :)

Anyway, you can grab it from this thread at VicTrainz. You'll need to register and log into the forums (free of course) to get it :)

http://forum.victrainz.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=335

Have fun, and let me know if you have any troubles with it :)

Does anybody find that people giving birthday wishes online seem to outnumber those in real life?

I had four online, and three offline. One from a girlfriend at the time, whome I spent my day/night with, one from a good friend, and one who confused me with somebody else and was from a Serbian phone number. I haven't been to Serbia. It was appreciated, although they called me Roy.

Perhaps I am digressing too much. I think I should go to Serbia. And call myself Roy.

Either way, habby day-or-so after birthday, Zec.

In a way though, I like the random banter that goes on here. Many Aussies often only really look at this thread anyway, and it's great to have ideas and such stem from a single screenshot. If the banter was cut out, I wonder if it would feel a bit sterile in our great 'screenshots' thread?

Oh well, just pondering. I can't post any screenshots yet until I get a computer that can actually run Trainz :P

Yea i agree Jim ( Where are you now in the world ? ). I only ever click new posts and unless it hints Aus in it i won't view. But i don't take photos anymore so i just chat :p

Slowly starting a life in Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm not sure if I need to say Scotland, but some people still ask me if Edinburgh in England, Ireland or Wales. Gah.

Slowly awaiting a new laptop which can actually run Trainz so I can resume some more serious projects. My little EEE pc can barely run 3dsmax 5... I certainly haven't been idle though, with some nice new things to show once I get my new machine ;)

Anyway, I seriously doubt that the Australian community is large enough to warrant its own sub-forum. I think I'd probably click on far less non-Australian threads if we did have our own dedicated sub-forum, and I've enjoyed some nice surprises from other English speaking threads.

Basically, unless we devolve/evolve our language enough (give it a few dozen years :p ) I don't see the point of sepparating the English speaking groups.

Aww, C'mon Electro! We have a Narrow Gauge thing in common here! As for Broad Gauge, we can use that to get Victoria on our side too!

:p

Just kidding.
NSW in 5 and a half hours, remember!!

[scottling]

You know, to get right up the east coast from Melbourne to Brisbane and beyond by rail, all that is necessary is to lay a third rail on all intervening stretches. ie. In Victoria, lay standard width track inside the broad guage, and in Queensland, lay standard width outside the narrow guage. Simple!:D

P.S. It's stuff like this that gets us to seven-and-a-half thousand posts. Just thought I'd point it out.

Eh. Going back to the idea of an Aussie sub-forum, if we did so, folks from SA, QLD, NSW, and such would probably talk less. I'm certainly not that interested in SA railways for example. But, if it's all in one thread, I see things that I'd not otherwise notice. And thus, find myself interested. I don't see the point of change right now.

If we want to see more screenies in the thread, more people must post screenshots. Simple as that.

Just a point.

Hi Willem
Thanks for kind words on my trees, am making more trees all based on real ones mostly from the CQ and Rockhampton area. Some larger wattles around 14-15m and gum types. At least one bottle brush. So there will be some more uploaded in the next week or so and a couple of Queenslander houses too. These work OK in 2004-TC3, but probably not in 2009.

[scottling]

Firstly, congratulations on Australian Screenshots for POST #7500!:clap:

Trainz 89, perhaps we should a separate thread for all Australian States. That'll learn y'all.
Secondly, Davido, a) where could I find the wires in your screenshot and b) I was wondering where your crossings can be found. I've seen them in other screenshots here, but not on the DLS under your name.
Great screenshots everyone, this goes to show that we Aussies can talk more than anyone!:hehe:

[Boobless_ed]

Let's have a sepparate thread for Newcastle, Sydney, the Central Coast, East and West NSW, South, North, East and West Victoria, each far extent of Queensland, and a huge thread for far North Western Australia. We'll fit in every individual city or location for SA, Tas, NT, and even the ACT (Although I don't know if the ACT will ever deserve its own thread or forum on any website. ever).

Agreed? Good. Now we're all happy.

Thankyou for that Davido, do you know where I might find something similar? Or perhaps release them again when you are ready?

And while I'm on the subject, do you know of any CityRail rolling stock (apart from your 620-720 Series) that is available? ie. stuff like what goes up the Blue Mountains, no idea in the world what it's called.

I don't know of anything similar, that's why I made the stuff.
CityRail stuff.....there's an S set on the DLS and maybe the V Set will get there one day if I ever finish it.

Good to hear that all locality problems have been fixed. I am currently in Sydney, after driving down from Queensland yesterday...

It was boring... then I spotted the XPT at Kempsey, and a Steel Train just outside of Kepsey, and a V-Set and M-Set in Sydney. I managed to see NR's for the first time. It was exciting.

Lets just say, its very Trainz inspiring.
