Is there an asset on the DLS that can help identify a city or a town both from an engineer's perspective (cab view) and from a visual perspective while in Driver? Here in the USA towns will have a sign up saying something like "Anywhere town - population 32,000", or "now entering 'our town'...

I've spent the last hour trying to get the topology information for the last 70 miles of a route I'm modeling from the USGS Seamless Server. A week or two ago I was able to click-click-click on anything I want and it worked and downloaded immediately. Today 9 times out of 10 when I use the...

Last night I tried to download a NS SW1500 from the DLS. All installed with the exception of one error which said 'shadow\black.tga wouldn't load'. So with little to no experience with any 3D graphics creation I tried to find where the file is supposed to live with the hopes of copying one...

I've been using Trainz for the past 5 months, and have enjoyed the built in routes and some of the 3rd party routes such as Dermmy's East Kentucky on 2006. But now I'm primarily using 2010 and creating my own route encompassing quite a few different things. Right now my goal is to only use DLS...

Today I decided that I wanted to expand the east part of my route by a couple baseboards. Where the original single line ended was a portal (the tunnel type). So leaving everything in place I added two baseboards and raised the terrain to +20 which is what height the original track was...

When you launch a session of a given route in Driver, the view you first see starts somewhere for a reason. I've been trying to figure out how to set the view so the person opening the session will start where I want them to. I've been searching the forums and Google for the past week trying...

Let me start by saying I'm not looking for help to find unknown dependencies. I'm puzzled with the results of a test I made. Late last year I bought Trainz 2006, installed it and started building a route. It's been slow but it's getting there. Since as I understand it we can't upload 2006...

I'm fairly new to Trainz 2006, and am hooked. In the near future I'll probably upgrade to 2010 but for now I'm using 2006 as a learning tool. The question that I've had going over my mind is that if I create a route whether simulating a real place or create a fictitious route, I will probably...

I recently was forced to do a re-install of Trainz2006. Before I did, I copied the 'local' directory off the drive, and after the install I copied it back to its original location, trashed the assets file and fired up the app. Much to my surprise, the route I've been working on for weeks was...

Over the weekend I got malware on my laptop, which left me with no restore points and who knows what shape my files are in. My hard drive is partitioned so I can re-install the OS on my C drive but retain my data files on my D drive. Before doing anything I made a copy of my 'local' directory...

A month ago I purchased a new copy of TRS2006 , and have driven some of the routes that come with the application, and I have created a small layout from scratch to use as a learning tool. But I'd like to model a couple routes in the same area of Illinois, especially East Central Illinois where...

I recently bought a new copy of Trainz-The Complete Collection, which contains TS2006. I must say that I'm really impressed with this product, and have enjoyed learning it over the past few weeks. However I have a question to which I can't find the answer after searching the forums for hours...
