Hi there, recently built a new computer with up to date components... AMD FX 6100 6core processor 16GB RAM (i know its too much but it came in a bundle :P) No video card the moment (old one actually hindered computer performance as it was quite old, so i'm waiting for the AMD radeon 7000...

Is it possible to have a tunnel that is actually dark inside? I ask because i am kind of tired of driving through tunnels that have no lights but yet are fully illuminated. If they do exist could you tell me where i can get them from? Thanks, BigThing

Hi there, i would love to make the stations along the Merseyrail route in the UK. However i have absolutely no idea of how to get around that. I am aware that the 2 main programs used are called GMAX and Blender. Could someone suggest which program would be best for quite detailed models...

I was gifted with a 20% discount off a Lifetime FCT. I do not need it. Would anyone want it? It expires 04.04.11. The first person to post will receive the code in a PM.

Hi there, I am looking for a traffic light system to use on a route. I would love to use the AJS system, however i believe that there are compatibility issues with the traffic controllers. This cannot easily be fixed. So, apart from AJS, what other traffic light systems are there? I would...

Hi all, i am making a route that has passenger trains running off 3rd rail and freight using diesel and overhead lines... However i am struggling to find an ideal electric loco for freight. This train would ideally have a top speed of at least 125mph (although i would be happy with over...

I just got a first class ticket and am rather excited as for the first time ever i can download something that doesn't take all day! So is there any "essential" or really useful assets on the DLS that can be used in route making? Also, are there any really good routes on the DLS? (preferably...

I am aware that there are Magiclands rails, however i was looking for something different. I would be very happy if it was quite dark in them, they look a little weird in full light. It would also be appreciated if they were in a full set (junction rails and different types of tunnels) Also...

I have been developing a route called "Moose county Railway" which i plan to upload to the DLS in Mid 2011 (there may be a beta at some point). And i ran into a distinct problem, part of the route for passenger trains goes into a subway. This presented an issue when i tried to get the rails down...

I was just wandering if anyone else has received any replies off the helpdesk lately? I ask because i still have a major problem with trainz that means i cannot create any routes which makes trainz a very expensive train simulator with only a few routes... :eek: My last reply was on the 18th...

Hay! I am recreating a local railway network (merseyrail), i also use the network to get around... a lot. While waiting at a station i looked town the rails and saw a speed sign. It had a number over another number e.g 40/10. I realized that i have no idea what what it means (i have seen them...

I just stumbled upon a site that has content, however i don't know what the content is for! The URL is http://www.bveroutes-trains.co.uk/ Does anyone know if this is compatible with trainz? (i'd love to download it once i get trainz working :p )

I was thinking, everything has changed in trainz, from boring barely detailed trainz to the new generation HD ones, boring static treez to speedtreez! One thing has remained the same though... Weather. I would like to see weather that is realistic! Rain, at the moment, goes through tunnels! Its...

I have noticed that tunnels do not look realistic. They all (even if there are lights or not) are not dark. Is it possible to have a propper tunnel that you cannot see in unless you turn the headlights on? If there is some could i have a link? (my compooper is broken at the moment though :()

Hi, i am recreating my local passenger rail line, Merseyrail. To do this correctly i have to get the rolling stock, which i have. However i notice that in 508's the cab is quite crudely done. I was wandering if anyone could get a more realistic cab put in because the stock itself is fantastic...
