do you know of any CityRail rolling stock

I have made city rail stuff, double deckers up to and not including the tangara, oscar or V sets I am currently making bogies for them, they should also be able to retrofit under the earlier tulloch cars available on the DLS, not living in sydney it makes it hard to find out what sort of bogies are under the older double decker controls and trailers, as I have two plans one without airbag suspension bogies and one with. The one without is a power bogie, but I cant find pictures that show if the power cars had airbag and non airbag or just non airbag. Someone disd tell me that the older ones were all airbag so perhaps there are airbag power bogies in existance. Any information would be gratefully received.

Definently like what i see behind those 44's

[mbv67]

Hey Davido, did you make those 44 Class locos, they look awesome and I have a feeling that they are only available on TRS2009.

Peter,

You probably already know this, but those models look really good! As far as the K and C Sets, they are semi-perma coupled as two car sets with a driver motor and a trailer car, and the trailer car has the pantograph at the number 1 end. For reference sake, the driver sits at the no2 end of the control motor car, so that places the pantograph on the trailer car, immediately behind the power car.

I dunno if that helps you at all, but they look great!

[ad602000]

probably not as I used the drawings on the city rail site as a reference and it had the pant on the trailer but no mention of a drivers cab and only mentioned as a three car set. However, I have found a drawing of the trailer with the drivers cab and pant so that will no doubt come in the future. I have also found a drawing of the tulloch power car so thats coming as well. Be warned these do not have opening and closing doors.

cheers
pete

[Raichase]

Peter - the C/K Sets run about as 4-car sets, made up of two of the pairs I mentioned in my post above. There is one 2-car C Set (C5) that lost the other two cars to fire a couple of years ago. This runs around as C-T-C-T-T-C where C is a Control Motor and T is a trailer car.

There are four 2-car K-Sets in operation in the Newcastle suburban area, where the trailer car also has a cab, to reduce the need for a four car set. In this case the trailer car is reclassified as "D" (Driver Control Trailer). As the cab is at the no2 end, it is not under the pantograph, rather it is at the opposite end of the car.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raichase/2447858397/in/set-72157600267505570/

The car in the foreground is the Driver Trailer (note the lack of a destination board), and features the pantograph, but no motors. The second car is the Control Motor, which has all the motors (and a desto). This is one of the four Newcastle based 2-car K-Sets.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raichase/3665992059/in/set-72157600267505570/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/raichase/3666765068/in/set-72157600267505570/

In both of these shots, I am standing at the no2 end of the trailer car, looking towards the front of the train. The area where the cab would be on the 2-car K-Set is a passenger area (longer than at the no1 end of the trailer/motor cars). Then you have the pantograph at the no1 end of the car, with a shorter vestibule area. Then you have the motor car, with the cab at the extreme far away end of the image.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3209/2703637492_c2e4a6e3e1_b.jpg

(I do hope that link works)

That's a C-Set.

Sadly, I've not got many good photos of suburban trains, as normally when I see them I am working, so I don't bother taking photos of them when I'm not working, but they are all here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raichase/collections/72157611470558051/

Now, if Davido plans on making a "Freight Australia" skin for his NTAFs, that I can be of service with, as I took about a thousand photos of the various types of NTAF wagons on a recent jaunt to Canberra!

Hi Bill,

Were you able to complete this?. Just wondering if I've missed it's release or not. It looks magnificent; by the way. :)

[Willem2]

Hi Noel,

sooooooooooooooooooooooooon wasn't finished yet but I have been doing some other stuff.

Been busy with updating older uploads to make them compatible with the later versions of Trainz 06 and 09 (112 items) so they don't show error messages.

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5697/willem220091024ramp.jpg

And to be honest I forgot about it until yesterday when I started doing a loading ramp.

I will upload them together. (soooooon) :hehe: :eek: :hehe:

Cheers,

[nbrettoner]

Hi Willem2,

Thanks for the rapid response.
Sounds like some exciting new releases on the way, as well as elevated dates ('up' dates).

As per email I'll get back to you shortly. :wave:

great pics love the NGTY

[ad602000]

that is an absolutely lovely bridge

[Raichase]

that is an absolutely lovely bridge

I was thinking that myself - we're spoilt here, we get to see plenty of screenshots of Davidos up and coming content, so I guess we're used to it in a way (although the 422 class continue to impress), but that bridge, I don't recall seeing such a good screenshot of that bridge before...

[3830]

@ davepem, the NGTY's are nice. But it's not really necessary to quote the screenshots to just say that though. It just means people have to look at the same pics twice. (and maybe it's slows loading for people with a slow internet connection) so if you could remove it maybe quoted pictures, thanks:)

@Pete and Trent. The bridge is a built in one. It's been textured really well though. Not much of you Trent round these days:o

Daniel

[Raichase]

Not much of you Trent round these days:o

Dan - I'm surprised that at least two people (yourself and Dave) have noticed! Too much time with real trains, not enough with computer Trainz :). Purely out of interest, what is the bridge called, and is it avaliable in single track versions? I'm always interested in bridges, they add variety to the layout (that said, I mostly just use the built in NSW ones by CWS, haha!)

[3830]

Ofcourse we notice the absence of the great Trent "Raichase" Nicholsen.:p

The bridge is called "Austin Warren Truss 2", so I'm guessing there must be a one, I'll check on the DLS.

EDIT: Theres only that bridge, no single track variant.

Daniel

[Raichase]

Dan - just cruising the DLS now looking for cliff splines (I can't believe I don't have them!), so thanks for that, will doublecheck to make sure that bridge is built in and if now, download it.

Cheers mate!

Trent, You got the ones Boobless_Ed made ( but i think they were released through Victrainz right ) ?

Sorry to bother, but will the 44 or 42 Class dual cab be available anytime soon? Sorry if I asked.

[Muliebuck]

One can but guess, that when the creator of the fine NSW 42 / 44 class is happy with them, they will be released - and not before. :)

Outstanding as per usual Dave. ONe of the best texturers around I rekon.;)
Daniel

[Raichase]

Having seen the 44 a million times before, as good as it is, I am overwhelmed by the realism of that track, and the generally good texturing done around the track. I'm still practising with textures (Daniels hint about holding the [ or ] button during texturing is pure genius, as well as the idea of putting darker textures under trees and where shadows would be) and landscaping, to get it looking realistic.

I hope to post screenshots of my latest pet project soon...

Almost at Dalmore, K103 rolls across the 'main road' crossing, sandwiched between two creeks.

Hi Zec,

Is this dirt two-wheel country road available for download?
It looks magnificent in this shot. Three or four merging variations would make an excellent country farm-style road to have. :)

:wave:

[S301]

It's on the DLS, but 09 only. I think the creator's username is 'Chereck' or similar. He was one of the first to upload 09 stuff, so start from the last page and work back :)

Zec

[nbrettoner]

Thanks Zec,

I'm presently only using TRS2004. Holding off using TS2009/2010 until I can upgrade my PC, & that will be awhile yet.

With this type of item, is it possible to modify it to work in TRS2004?.
Same question for scenery items?.
I note several creators make items that are compatible for most Trainz versions (TRS...04/06 TS2009).

Another question unrelated to the above:
Is anyone in VIC creating a route in the NSW border vicinity?
Anywhere from Albury through to Ouyen/Swan Hill/Balranald (NSW)?.
Having lived in Deniliquin, I'm always hopeful someone would be interested in the Deni/Balranald NSW lines, & link-ups across the border.
Particularly link-ups at Echuca, Tocumwal.

Craig (Seeseeme) & I are slowly progressing with the old Narrandera_Tocumwal branchline, & it would be great to colaborate with anyone in VIC, doing the line up to Tocumwal.

:wave:

[S301]

For the most part, 09 based content can be made compatible. The two areas where this isn't possible is splines (which can now take more than one LOD mesh, and use a completely different config setup for the meshes themselves and their LOD) and with scenery that is using the new config based LOD. Plus any items using mesh libraries, and various other things.

For some objects, it's ok to go back. However, you will likely lose out on many of the 'back end' things that help improve that items performance. Same as, by going back, you run a risk of allowing 'faults' (well, they would really just be obsolete methods) getting into the model, thus dropping your performance a little.

Plus you lose the ability to use those nice features that make life easier, both for the creator and the user/route builder (e.g. mesh libraries, which allow you to improve performance by a fair bit!).

Hi Zec,

My wrist is already killing me with RSI at present. :confused::'(
You don't have to oh-so subtly twist the living daylights out of my arm!. :confused:

Yes you have given me food for thought. Now if I can just attach my hard drives to an email,
I'll whizz them down to Craig. He can just swap everything over to TRS2009 for me. Should be back by 6:30pm, shouldn't it?. Only 18Gb or so of stuff to do. Peace of cake, eh?. :D
Problems?, :eek: what problems?? :hehe: :o :hehe:

But quite seriously I take your point Zec. I really do need to consider copying stuff across to TRS2009, & getting into using that.
What's the safest/best way to set up the files?. Just all in the same partition as TRS2009, or a separate one?.
And any automated transfer techniques available?.
18-20Gb is a huge amount of data to fix, on it's way through.

[S301]

There's two ways. You can manually import the items that you want using Content Manager (this would require some sorting, but I highly recommend you use this method) or you can just import the world folder of TRS2004 (this will import ALL downloaded/custom content from TRS2004, however it WILL take a while...)

I would recommend importing the route that your working on, and then import only it's dependencies (or re-download them). I would recommend the re-download method for the dependencies, so you can ensure that you A) have the latest version and B) you can find out exactly what items show 'faulty' in 09.

If you need any specific help, feel free to email me :)

Hi Zec,

Your quote below with my responses in blue italics. :)

There's two ways. You can manually import the items that you want using Content Manager (this would require some sorting, but I highly recommend you use this method) or you can just import the world folder of TRS2004 (this will import ALL downloaded/custom content from TRS2004, however it WILL take a while...) Craig & I use Trainzwapper to swap between our project "world" folder & default Trainz "World" folder. This way we keep our project stuff separate from the normal stuff. It helps when trying to be responsible with as-yet unreleased stuff.

I would recommend importing the route that your working on, and then import only it's dependencies (or re-download them). I would recommend the re-download method for the dependencies, so you can ensure that you A) have the latest version and B) you can find out exactly what items show 'faulty' in 09. I'll have a chat to Craig about doing this. However unlike Craig my Trainz 'housekeeping' leaves a lot to be desired. I have quite a sort-out job in TO first. But I take your advice & will endeavour to follow it. Firstly 'though, I'll analyse the current project map in TO & print out all dependencies.

If you need any specific help, feel free to email me :)
Zec many thanks for your kind offer. However Craig has several times offered assistance, but the fault lies with my reserve, in moving to TRS2009. But no more. I will be knocking on Craig's virtual door shortly. After Tuesday's all-day course.
However in the unlikely event of totally burning out my welcome at the Craig household, watch out! :o:hehe:

I quote the Auran Newsletter on the 30/10/09
"TS2010 DEV JOURNAL

With the launch dates approaching we are working on the implementation of speedtrees into the TS2010:EE routes. First on the list and also the largest task is getting speedtrees into the 175-mile secton of the ECML mainline from Kings Cross to York.

Further testing also continues on all the other routes as we continually work to improve upon all the features of the simulator, new and old alike."

I may have misinterpreted it, but thought they were talking about new 2010 trees :hehe:
Cheers
Rod

[Muliebuck]

I'm somewhat disillusioned with the Treez pack, was really hoping for it having some aussie type trees (eucalypts, melaucas, etc etc etc), but its all US/UK stuff, but they still DO look very nice - just a shame there were no aussie counterparts, so I could get back into route building.

[Tumble99]

By the looks of things trainz EE should have eucalyptus trees, just look at the screenies on their website

I hope the law catches up to those vandals & NO slap on the wrist for them!!!!!.

Well the workshops have been very busy with some QGR C17 Class locomotives eg, 705, 45 (MVHR & QGR), 961, 967, 1000, 802, 762 and some Rockhampton based C17's. QGR has just made Dreddman's BB18 race up to 90km/h using my B18 engine file & fitted it with a chime whistle.

I have finally finished my PB15's but i will send then to dreddman's workshops for the steam effect and some of the PB15's will have destination boards. With GHQ I Ordered The Extention Of The Railway To A Larger Depot, If You notice In The Photo's There Is Work Trains (Hauled By PB15 750 & C17 979) & The Contruction Of A Bridge.

i have seen a few screenies around of some deb railcars(900 class) i think they are by davido

are they still in the process of being finished or are they avaliable for downlaod somewhere?

Fsx_trainz

[colhad]

David had the 620s up as a beta some time ago, if you flick through the pages of this thread, they may still be here somewhere. Not sure if the Candy and Indian Red ones actually made it to the DLS yet. I know the Cityrail one is released.

[Davido]

They are no longer available. I did upload them to the DLS but they wanted to call them reskins which they're NOT and everyone knows my thoughts on reskins.
I have recently found a bug in the script ....if save them in a consist, when you plonk the consist on a track the running number system blows up , well, causes an error anyway.
So, good luck to those that have them, sorry to those that don't. It looks like they'll be a while yet.

It's been a long time since I last released a route, I've started a few but never finished them. I've been working on a small 1 board route, "Colhadville" is not a publicity stunt.:p Couldn't be.

I'm pleased to be able to release a few shots of said project. I use the 620/720s a lot on this route, it's not really fit for long freight trains cos of some tight curves. Railmotors though are right at home on this route. There is also provision for helicopter flights as can be seen in these shots. There will be 26 in all so need three posts, sorry to spam the forums but I hope its all worth it.

The route comprises of residential areas, commercial and industrial zones. No interactive industries apart from passenger stations.

My dear trainz89/Michael.......You flatter me as always with your comments ......BUT.......I think we are pushing the RULES again a bit.....
the QGR Ekka Cars ???? I thought I only gave Ghostryder permission to skin them......so you are being naughty showing your own private reskins on the forums some creators would be really "Pi$$ed Off" at showing reskins of their work.....me............................I'm not impressed
Manners and Handshake copyrights were always the way of this community?
How can I do destonation boards on your locos???.........I would need the "GMAX" file..........I dont care about your screen because I know I Made em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :udrool:

[Ghostryder]

i guess repsect and understanding dont mean much to some, i had permission to reskin them, like i have permission from all the creators whose work i have modified for ipswich. it is people that think that the rules dont apply to them that take the fun out of it for us that create reskin or map make. think about your actions before you act, i came close to keeping Ipswich after completing it and only sharing it with those people that have helped me make it happen. all i can say is think before you act.

Thanks guys.

@Raichase. God Damn Pixellation. haha. No I don't work for IRA. The 44's have a bit more character with the the B end leading. I don't know what it is, they just look nice.

btw, does anyone know if davidt is still active. If theres enough interest I might release his 42s which have been revamped some what in terms of the paint scheme (matching it to Daves yellows and browns etc), swapping bogies, changing grill pattern etc.

Daniel

[comtrain]

I think Davidt lurks around, however hardly ever posts.
I might be completely wrong, but I think Davidt built the 42 before he could use G-Max. It should only be a repaint of Aurans own 42.
I think Auran released the mesh on their cd too.
So if I am right, you only need acknowledge him and Pikkabird (who he collaborated with) and Auran.. right?

I thank you for your lovelly comments regarding QGR & its strong fleet of locomotives. Can you wire me your email address so i can post those PB15's, B18 771 and my version of Destination boards. If you look back I named a Grand Bridge and a creek after you, also ghosty and lenice have a bridge in honour of their service to QGR.

There will be standard gauge up here in a few years. The Great Inland Railway or something.

[scottling]

Whose idea was it to have different guages in every state, anyway? Gee, I'd love to meet him, then give him a piece of my mind! (And/or fist):hehe:

[Mitchey]

Colhad, is that the new state of the art express link thats supposed to come through Stanthorpe way, to Toowoomba, then east to Brisbane?

[comtrain]

Whose idea was it to have different guages in every state, anyway? Gee, I'd love to meet him, then give him a piece of my mind! (And/or fist):hehe:
Interstate rivalry has been going a very long time :hehe:
However the arguments might have very well gotten serious after it was decided to build a railway in each State.
Those bludger's south of the Murray announced that they might link the City with the wharves at Port Melbourne. So they chose Standard Gauge and proceeded to order the materials from England. I believe that Stevenson won the engine contract, and Victoria's 4 engines were added to a long list.
However the Engineer in charge of NSW Railway construction was an Irishman and decided that he was not going to have anything of this English SG. He convinced the Government to go Irish BG.
The folk down in Melbourne could see the advantage of having the same gauge in the future as they were bright enough to think people would eventually move between Adelaide,Melbourne and Sydney. So both South Australia and Victoria decided to go BG too. Victoria contacted Stevenson and changed the gauge, but it delayed the arrival of the engines.
Consequently and having to understand communications between Melbourne and Sydney were via Cobb and Co or coastal shipping and could take weeks.
Communications with Mother England could take months :eek:
In Sydney some were not very happy with our little Irish Engineer and replaced him with a Scotsman. Our Scotsman cancelled the Irish BG and elected to use the English Standard 4 foot 8 and a half!
By the time Melbourne and Adelaide found out, it was too late to change and so they remained with BG as did Hobart as well.
Stevenson's engine did not arrive for the grand opening of the Port Melbourne line, so they got Melbourne Machinery Company recently of Queens Street Melbourne to modify two standard steam driven farm engines to operate on rails, and they actually ran the first trains on the first steam railway on metal rails to operate in Australia.
So Interstate rivalry was alive and strong in 1850, and has little diminished in 2009
Cheers
Rod :wave:

[nbrettoner]

Hi ComTrain,

Further to your very interesting history lesson (which all Australians should learn), might I concur the rivalry?.

Around late 1870's/80's, it became apparent that there was indeed a need to extend the rail network to service the eastern areas of the Riverina in NSW.

The line from near Echuca to Deniliquin was laid & proved most active.
So then the Narrandera_Tocumwal branch line began it's southern push.

Firstly from Narrandera in the north, to Jerilderie (about half-way of the eventual route). Then some time later that was extended to Berrigan.
And later still, it headed westward to Finley.

Now comes the interesting bit.
For many years, Riverina farmers & those further north-westward had used the old Cobb & Co route down through Hay_Deniliquin to Echuca.
Similarly, further to the east, down through Jerilderie_Finley to Tocumwal.

The Narrandera_Tocumwal branchline carrying the wool to Sydney, & grain to Melbourne. Funny that.
Anyway, what with the mutual distrust & greed of the two states, a stalemate now took place for several years. NSW refused to push all the way to Tocumwal, in fear that Victoria would gain most of the lucrative trade.
However after several years delay, the branchline eventually arrived at Tocumwal, to meet up with the Victorian line already across the Murray River.

Both states in fact benefited considerably from this hook-up.
One of the most significant benefits being during WWII, when the largest airfield in the Southern hemisphere was built by Australians for the Americans, who called it McIntyre Field. Covering approx 25 square miles, & taking the total output of BHP for three months (bitumen for sealing four long runways & many miles of taxiways & roadways), it was a mammoth task.
The airbase camp being an extention of the township of Tocumwal (population near 500). Later, the on-base population swelling to just over 5,000 after the base was handed to the RAAF, as the war headed further north with the retreating Japanese.
This airbase was to be very much a last-ditch stand for the defence of the south-eastern area of Australia. Darwin was being constantly bombed, Singapore had fallen & Japanese were already sending the equivalent of SAS soldiers several miles inland in the Top End.
The Narrandera_Tocumwal branchline had thus become probably the most strategic defence line for Australia. A vast number of troops & supplies were ferried through Tocumwal during the war years. The yard at Tocumwal rapidly became a maze of NSW/VIC/& dual-gauge lines, with long transfer platforms & I think four gantry cranes.
Both NSW & VIC gauge lines were extended onto McIntyre field, & also as loop lines to the west, where an immense Munitions area once existed.

Apologies for no pic of a train, yet. :o

[jazza1281]

There will be standard gauge up here in a few years. The Great Inland Railway or something.
I heard there was an official announcement the other day about a freight line from Moree to Toowoomba where there will be an intermodal terminal built near Charlton. Construction was to start ASAP. The idea is to run freight from Melbourne to North Queensland. The line will continue west through Miles and Wandoan upwards to Gladstone after they build 'the missing link' between Wandoan and Moura. There has been talk of this for about 15 years and the word is that its going to be dual gauge. A new coal mine is being built at Cameby Downs near Miles and coal trains will run east to the port of Brisbane until 'the missing link' is built. Then the coal will go to Gladstone. All to be finished by 2012.:)

[FirstSoloFlight]

How about this:

If you don't know, that's a good thing. If you don't know, you don't want to know, because if you know you don't know, you know you don't want to know whatever you think you don't know. Happy? Good!:hehe:

Someone just watched 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. :hehe:

I work for QR and I have no idea who John Bell is...

IIRK, the only John Bell that ever had any importance in QR's history was the John Bell who was a major share holder in the first Queensland sugar cane railway in the late 1800's. That John Bell doesn't know anyone anymore... he's pushing up daisies.

@jazza1281: Finished by 2012, hey? Well, I have to by honest with you: fat chance of that happening!:hehe:

FirstSoloFlight: Oh have I now? Sorry to disappoint, but no I haven't. I actually got the idea from the 'Yes Minister' (UK, BBC 1980) series.

Ah, another great show! That would have to be one of Humprey's lines, no doubt?

I heard there was an official announcement the other day about a freight line from Moree to Toowoomba where there will be an intermodal terminal built near Charlton. Construction was to start ASAP. The idea is to run freight from Melbourne to North Queensland. The line will continue west through Miles and Wandoan upwards to Gladstone after they build 'the missing link' between Wandoan and Moura. There has been talk of this for about 15 years and the word is that its going to be dual gauge. A new coal mine is being built at Cameby Downs near Miles and coal trains will run east to the port of Brisbane until 'the missing link' is built. Then the coal will go to Gladstone. All to be finished by 2012.:)

that freight hub announcement has been around for the past 15 years, they juast keep re announcing it, but never do anything, they're to busy digging rabbit warrens under sydney.

Hey Ryan McC
in the Robina shot there are stairs leading up to i guess a walk way bridge or something, what asset is that ? and is it available on download station.

thanks
Koolboy

[scottling]

It's not all one bit. The bridge: I have no idea what that is. The stairs I can help you with, they come with a pack of stairs (kuid:55126:28101-28108)
You can also download the lifts, ramps and footbridges that are by the same person under the same kuid (55126)

Hope this Helps,
Scottling

[Ryan_McC]

G'day Koolboy

The bridge is a heap of road bridges put next to each other to make the 'tunnel'. Those particular ones were built into TRS06 (probably 04 as well) & above. In real life, there's a bus stop to the left of the pic upstairs. The road that those stairs leads up to is for buses only.

i've used hay station as a substitute for toowoomba station
i'm still deciding which way to go south or west
toowoomba deviation will be included and all the closed sections as well
it will be a mix of new and old
anyhow i'll keep scrubbing on for now

cheers,
patchy

P.S.bill keep up the good work on your pubs,if you get enough pubs together maybe you could have a pub crawl route with a couple of xxxx's at each

[jazza1281]

Looking good, some familiar scenery there. Spent many a late winter night at the goods shed waiting for trucks to arrive from Brisbane. Watching the shunters pull loaded qlx's from the swamp and replace them with empties. Toowoomba station would be a fantatstic asset in trainz, quite a challenge. It's such a beautiful building.

Hello All

Dear Patchy; The Flags Have Flow At Half Mast From As Yesterday As A Sign Of Respect And At Here At QGR; Our Thoughts And Prays Go Out To You In Your Time Of Need.:)

Changing Trains Now......

Some Good News From The SCL; Southport Section. The Tracklayers Have Nearly Finished The Section From Ernest Jnct Back To Southport. The Route Has Been Made From Original 1889 & 1951 Diagrams To Old Photograghs. The QGR Workshops Can't Wait Till (His Holyness) Lord Dreddman Of QDR Returns My Projects Which I Have Sent Him Including SCL Destination Boards & My PB15's.:hehe:

Here Is An Special View Of The New Line

Sounds terribly like a hint:hehe: are there photos and the odd measurement perhaps even a plan or drawing?

[Boobless_ed]

A quick question.

On my little EEE-PC 900 I managed to get 34 variations on 3D Eucalypts made, including lods. No configs, as I still have not seriously tested them. I have a new laptop which can run Trainz (finally) so I can test them but am completely unenthused about it all. With Speetree coming out with '10, I feel that my work is wasted.

Is it worthwhile finishing them off, when there is a better solution in the works? With some vague testing and countless hours of work, they really don't look as good as I would like, although I did my best to work within the limits of '09. Despite the silly hours of work I've put into these, it seems pointless if Speedtree takes over.

In a way, I'm starting to feel that I don't care about TRS anymore. I'll be perfectly honest, I don't really like the community we have now. I miss the days of old. And I was always interested in the Trainz thing because of the community. There used to actually be some fun in the community. So I suppose I've turned into a cynical old cod.

Is it really worth finishing and releasing my work for trainz anymore? Or should I just sell my meshes on Turbosquid or something...

I'm just wondering if there's any point, as there is something better for TRS. Speedtree is a wonderful thing, and would be hard to beat.

Any opinions?

I don't mind my work 'wasted'. I'm just wondering if it is worthwhile. If people migrate to 2010, then it seems pointless.

[Ghostryder]

patchy

i am so sorry to hear of your loss its never easy to loose one we care about be them family or friend. please accept my condolences your mates are here for you any time.

regards

ghosty

[pommie]

Ed, you cynical old cod :p
I take it that the speedtree's are either going to be an add on pack (read payware) or built in, if payware then most people will not have them, if built in the the range will be limited, probably to Nth American type tree's, so there is, and always will be, a welcome mat out for anyone that decides to make tree's, especially Australian varieties :D
It really sounds like you need a break from content creation and just run trains for a while, don't burn yourself out mate.

Cheers David

[Electro]

:wave: Hi James
No mater what you make there will all ways be a call for it in Trainz,
I my self love the work you do and it will all ways have a place in my Trainz.
I say release what you have done so far, if no one coments then decide.
And i agree with Pommie :D

My 5c worth

patchy, as one of our more frequent contributors, your absence has been noted (even if it was silently) and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

[narrowgauge]

Ed

Judging by the publicity shots, we are not getting any Speedtree based Australian trees. My impression of the trees shown is that they are more like caricatures than real trees, I don't like them.

We really need your trees, we also need you on the forum. I agree that it does seem to lack something that existed in the past, difficult to say what it is, possibly the influx of new people that always comes with a new release. New people who look on this as a game, who expect too much and must have it now! This can be annoying, I think that you and I and many others regard it as a hobby.

Stick with us, it will get better.

cynical old cod.

Does this mean you are an ancient fish?
