Interesting article, Joel. I do see a push toward a single Linux OS, though. But, like he says, Linux users love to download various distros just to see what they can--or can't--do. I have three laptops with three different distros for just that reason. I use them to test any little programs I...

The computer I mentioned in post #11 will, as I said, not upgrade to Win 11. Instead, I wiped the HD and installed Linux Mint. It is now my go-to computer for daily web work, writing, and some gaming. I sure wish N3V would port ANY Trainz version of Linux. Trying to get them to run properly...

You could clone any loco, then weather the texture files yourself. I do this a lot for my locos. You can't (without permission} upload them, but for your own layout, it works fine. You must use a hosting service to post a picture in the forum. Bill

I totally agree, John. I've been a Trainz user/supporter for a very long time. CM is most difficult to deal with when you wear trifocals. Bill

This is a 13-year-old thread.

I've had this happen a few times over the years. I open a Command Window and navigate to the file using "CD ..." (Change Directory) commands. Once there, you can issue a COPY or MOVE command to put the file elsewhere. To get help on these commands, type the command: "Help <command>" The "CD"...

If Windows assigned a drive letter you don't want, go to Disk Management, locate the drive to change and highlight it. Down in the lower portion of the window, RIGHT-click on the header for that drive (on the left) and choose "Change Drive letter and Paths." Use the drop-down to select the...

Ignore this post, huh? I'll see about that!!!! Bill

Personally, I would like it to default to "My Content." Bill

Last I herd was a couple of years ago. Nothing since. He passed all his content permissions on to me before he left. I have the email from him. Bill

True. But if I ever want to put it up on the DLS, the cloned roads must go up as well, and that may be problematic as they aren't my content. I do agree that assigning certain vehicles to a certain road is a great way to go, but that will probably never happen. It bugs me to see a huge semi...

I am nearing completion on a Japanese route and have come up against a problem. Many of the tiny alleys restrict traffic to bicycles and the like with NO autos or trucks. Whereas, the larger roads and superhighways have tons of traffic. I seem to remember a method from way back that described...

Jumping in here from a position of near-ignorance, isn't there a rule like "control next switch" or "toggle the next switch?" If there was, then might that work to move the points of a derail to ON and OFF? Or, am I off base here? (I usually am.) Bill

To me, they look like the ends of the concrete sleepers, highlighted by a spectral setting. As an experiment, try raising a litle bit of the ground under the track and see if they get covered. Bill

I have quite a bit of N-gauge models, both for Japanese rail and US. Even a couple of German engines in HO. Building up and tearing down every few years while in the Navy took me out of the "real" modeling scene. Now, I can build whatever routes I want using Trainz. Bill
