I'm finding a lot of assets that have weird colors (see picture). My first guess was that there are textures missing, although there are no errors or warnings shown. Now I'm wondering if the color palette is misaligned, or if the color control parameters are corrupted and pointing to random...

Yesterday, my computer got turned off soon after working on my route and exiting Trainz. Next time I started Trainz in order to make some screenshots of my latest progress, the database repair utility ran (mildly annoying, but no problems so far). The big problem, is that now my route does not...

Some of you may be aware of the route I'm creating for the DLS - if not, look here: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?83476-Freelance-USA-mountain-railroad Well, there are a couple of assets that I need for the next section, but which I have been unable to find so far. First, a...

I'm attempting to edit locomotive specs to improve performance. One problem that most of my steam locomotives have is a lack of acceleration. Even when running light, they seem to take forever to reach a moderate speed. I found one locomotive that has an acceleration rate that I like (SAR 500B...

Some of you may remember the layout I created and added to the DLS a few months ago. I've been slated for resurrecting old threads before, so instead of adding to the original discussion, I'll just start a brand new thread. The first section of the layout was covered in these threads...

Hi everyone, After a test run on a built-in route that had a load of fixed cameras installed, I decided to add some to my own route. Adjustment is still a bit awkward, but I'm sure I'll get better at it with practice. I'm in the process of uploading my first efforts to You-tube, and will add...

Hi everyone. I've been informed that the original location of this thread was incorrect, so I've opened up a new one here. The old thread http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=72960 will probably get closed down at some point. Here is a little route I’ve been working on for about...

Hi everyone. Here is a little route I’ve been working on for the past couple of weeks. Stage one is taking shape quite nicely. The premise is a junction town where the two routes were built by different railroad companies. The double-track route simply runs a few miles east-west between...

Strange behavior, weird re-install, import failed Hi everyone. I’ve got a really weird situation here that I am unable to fully explain. I do have some possible ideas, but really nothing better that wild guesses. Early yesterday evening, my computer crashed while working on a route in...

OK, so it’s not really a “route”, but it may have some use as part of a route. I created it as a test bed to practice laying out curves and grades. I wanted something that would require a lot of long curves, but also something that I hoped might be useful without ending up as an Achilles’ heel...

Has anyone seen this before? A train was heading into a portal quite happily; just a few more cars to go, when boom, the following happened (see picture)... The whole train jumped out through the roof of the portal and lay strewn all over the landscape. The train in question is about 50 cars...

Attention all route-builders... If you have ever felt frustrated about the problem with terrain changes messing up track elevations around tunnels, level-crossings, and other object attachment points, here is an opportunity to have this fixed. Earlier this month, discussion with Auran’s...

I’ve spent about the last 6 hours trying to build a tunnel. I’ve read all the tutorials I can find on the subject, and disassembled several of the supplied routes, but have so far failed to find the answers I’m looking for. What I need is a single track stone tunnel, suitable for a British...

:)Hi everyone. It’s been exactly one week since I got Trainz2010 working on my computer, and some things are progressing well. I finally got the hang of laying track, including complex things such as double slips (I’ll attach some screen shots if I can figure out how). One thing I learnt, is...

It’s been just over a week now since I installed Trainz2010, and most areas of my learning are progressing quite nicely (those who have followed my earlier posts may recall the problems I had at first). The biggest frustration I am currently having, is with the state of the download station. A...
