Hi all, I know there are fans of this service on the community forums, but does anyone know if they are scheduled to run this year? I can't find any trace of them anywhere, so should I assume they've been quietly dropped, or that I'm incompetent with a search engine? Shame really, as I'm...

Hi all, I have a problem with the AI on heavily-loaded routes, using in this case Andi06's stations. The consists in question are trams, and when the approach a station they will pause, then continue as though they'de been set to autodrive. The command remains as "drive to", rather than moving...

Hi all, Someone suggested to me in a PM that we should have a thread for providing "samplers" of our routes that we plan to release in the RB2007 Competition, so here it is: Mine contains both rail and tramway action, and in the back you can just make out the 10 1/4" Morton Park Miniature...

Hi all, After taking the soft option of using Google's WYSIWYG system, I've delved back into the realm of HTML (by hand). With the Googlepages, I've always edited the script myself anyway, but this is the first page I've released for a long time written completely from scratch (my last...

Hi all, Please would entrants post their names here or send me a message - there's a list of entrants at the foot of this post. Closing date will be the 31st July, at which date your entry must be available on the DLS (unless it's broken, in which case we'll think of something else ;)). I...

Hi all, Has this been done before? As you are all well aware, trees take up a lot of resources unless you stick to only a handful, so if there are none with LOD available, does anyone fancy making some? Anything to appease the strain on the PC is welcome. Splined forms are also welcome, if...

Hi all, Is anyone interested in a little bit of competition? I do - so I've been thinking about how a competition could be organised, and the rules that might need to be introduced. This thread for discussion of the idea, not an announcement. My opinion is that the only difficult bit is the...

Hi all, Is anyone planning on making any more 3D people for TRS? I'm making another route now, for which I need plenty of people - everything from well dressed office workers through market traders, shoppers, walkers, engineers right through to beach-goers. In any case, there is a shortage of...

I've had this idea from this thread here: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=7203 What is the smartest loco in Trainz at the moment? It doesn't matter if it's a majestic express steam locomotive, or a beautifully engineered shunting engine. Warning though - this thread has the...

Can I just ask, does Auran mind if we reference the old set of smileys in out posts? (I've just found the URLs in a file on my computer) Personally, I think these were better than the current ones. I think there were more, but I don't have their URLs. BidMod. PS Word of warning to other...

Is there a way of "clamping" progressive meshes? By this, I mean prevent them from clipping the polys? Most people's computers (though by no means everyone's) can easily handle the amount of detail found on the older models, yet TRS continues to cut back to save the frames. It would be nice...

Is there a way to remove the writing from the screen when paused? I can hide the HUD, but if I try to take screenshots on the move the steam effect stutters, spoiling the shot. If paused I have writing on the screen. Andrew

I know there are issues with some level crossings in TRS06, but is there a fix? I refer specifically to Bloodnok's full barrier crossings. For those who don't know what the problem is, the sequence stops before the barriers can fall, and sticks so they cannot clear when the train has moved off...

Hi all, I've been fiddling with my profile, and found this page: I'm guessing that the lower section is the banner that appears in the DL-helper and CMP when downloading content by a particular author, but what about the upper section?

Configs and Leeds 180 Hi everyone, If you didn't know already, I'm editing the Leeds 180 tram with a view to re-releasing it (functioning correctly). I've sent an email to Silversmith, but can't find a live address for Michael Whiteley - if you are happy for me to release this tram please...
