    Why pre-caching?

    Using the Installed criteria, I had 83837 of 778579 yesterday. I then picked a random asset on the DLS and added it. The new number s are 83840 of 778579. Note the larger number didn't change. The smaller number increased by 3. Why? Let's have a closer look. While the new asset has 5 dependants...

    Why pre-caching?

    Since I live mainly in TRS22PE, I had to try both TRS22Plus and TRS19 Platinum to see what if anything I was missing. Since I hadn't been keeping TRS22Plus up to date, I first had to spend the day going through more than a dozen updates and hot fixes with each one triggering a validation...

    No more Bi-Levels

    Is this a reference to interior stairs for people with mobility issues? If that's the case, does every station the train stops at have highlevel platforms?

    Creeks and waterways

    I would go for the route(s) that you find the most interesting with a large amount of "is it doable?" thrown in.

    Can you convert height units to something usable?

    What is an HO inch? Do you mean 1:87 inches which is the HO ratio to real life (0.292 mm) or the real world inches. If the latter then 1 inch is exactly 25.4 mm, 5 inches is 127 mm and 10 inches is 254 mm Avoid changing from mm to cm to dm to m, while a simple 10x difference at each step, it...

    Can you convert height units to something usable?

    I think we are looking in the wrong end of the telescope. It's not that the vertical distance is at issue, it's that the horizontal distance is really not being changed. Those ten meter squares are still ten meters on each side no matter what the scale says. Same thing with all the objects, with...

    Can you convert height units to something usable?

    Yeah, the track plan might be in HO scale but the table itself and the room it is in is not, its in real scale, otherwise you would also have to be in HO scale or you wouldn't fit.

    Can you convert height units to something usable?

    Not sure where you get that from. If I raise or lower water or any object by say 5 whole units, that results in a change of 5 meters. Now if the creator of an object wants to label that 5 inches, 5 hands, 5 feet or some other random body part, they are free to do so but in game, meters rule...

    Forced data base repair is locking me out of the game

    What was happening just before the repair started? An upgrade? an unexpected shutdown - provoked by Ctrl-Alt-Del or a loss of power? I don't recall ever having a repair start that wasn't triggered by something.

    terrain smoothing tool

    Images are not attached directly. You upload your image to a hosting site and then link to the URL of where that image is stored. An image host can be your own website, if you have one, or a public site that lets you upload images to. Some are free, others charge a fee

    Clearing trees from roads, tracks etc.

    Still have to master the scrapbook part of S2.0 Now I have an incentive to give that a try.

    Clearing trees from roads, tracks etc.

    I've reached the point where I will soon be placing trees and other vegetation on a new map. The roads, tracks and other objects have already been placed. Using scrapbook data to place the vegetation in large swathes, is there an easy way to avoid placing any on top of roads, track and other...

    debugging tracks in a new TransDEM route

    I opened my TransDEMTrainz_engl.pdf (modified Apr 5, 2021, 3.92 MB) and searched for GDAL but didn't find any reference to it. Since I upgrade each time, some of the basic house keeping was probably only done once the very first time, a long time ago. I'm now using TransDEM64.exe version...

    debugging tracks in a new TransDEM route

    Could you expand on this please? Perhaps I know GDAL by another name. And what other steps are you alluding to? When I installed TransDEM, the folder Ziegler-Tools was automatically created and all the needed parts were placed. In tandem with TransDEM I also have the Java OpenStreetMap Editor...

    debugging tracks in a new TransDEM route

    The quality of the DEM data does affect the topology of the route. One thing to keep in mind is that for ordinary DEM, the elevation shown is not necessarily the ground elevation. Dense forests will have the tree tops as the elevation while in buildup areas, the tops of buildings will be the...
