The Forums are up and running for the last few days.

They are down again, but they are probably putting some features back in like uploading albums, all that jazz.

@TrainzLover18: this sort of inquiry should go in the NYCTA Support thread for future reference!

Can somebody look at my new thread: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showt...479#post969479

Coming to think of it, I like the way BStyles made the tracks look more realistic, using less polys. That is the combination of Science and Math right there. I am sure people would say the newer tracks have more polys than the older ones, just by looking. This is truly excellent work.

I have a question. DOES anybody know how to use google sketchup to make stations and subway trains. Can Someone please help me out here?!

[cascaderailroad]

I hear that making Sketchup, your assets will have an absolutely huge amount of polys, (over GMax & Blender) and will adversely effect framerates in Trainz.

stratus, Please don't hijack this thread. If you need help, post in the help forum.

Well it does, but it depends on what you make. Sketchup uses an extrusion panel, which means that you can take a simple face and make it into a cubed figure(or cylindrical, it depends on what you're trying to make). What I did was I decided to abolish that completely, which is why the newer models came out with less polys than the original. Plus with textures, there are a lot of details that I didn't need to make faces out of.

The R142 seems to run very efficiently so far, but it could be better. A lot of circular faces will become hexagonal or even pentagonal.

So is the route dead, I have not really been seeing many updates?

Far from it. acelejalde is just bouncing between several very large, time-consuming projects.

If you hit the NYC Transit Forums, we are getting plenty of our own routes over there. But we gotta wait for ace to finish the BART. This is a very important project for him.
