They must have fixed it, as search and advanced search are working on my android phone.

I'm not on Steam so I don't know exactly how to access the N3V store via Steam purchased software. Some users report that Steam doesn't relay purchase information to N3V. Normally, you'd go to your N3V account (MyTrainz?) and in the MyDownloads page it would let you download any of the routes...

@JAGG Thanks for separating the links. I saw that there were more than one link there. Didn't realize there were three. @razor Nice looking images. Nicer than anything I've done.

I've considered blocking him just to stop seeing that distracting gif. Haven't blocked him yet though. The good news in this case is that it doesn't show when I use my cellphone to access the forum. Edit: I guess he resolved the issue before I posted.

I really dislike the shadow disk around the camera or pov in TRS2019. Can't remember if it happens in TANE also. Haven't yet learned how to eliminate it. Looked at lighting info, but didn't catch on how to fix it.

Experiment on a test baseboard. The topography tools create fairly large changes or depressions. Likewise for the smooth terrain under a spline tool. It might be easier to get a narrow trench if it lines up with the 10m or 5m grid edges.

@wreeder Interesting article, thanks for sharing!

I've also used a pair of standard Portals to allow a train to change elevation where it wouldn't be convenient to place track. Often if I've merged routes without building a transition section of baseboards to handle the change in elevation. (I'm usually not online, so I haven't paid much...

Dave, I tested the Air Tractor AT802A Crop Duster Startup and the Naval Aircraft Factory N3N-3 Crop Duster Startup in TRS19sp1. They would move down the "track", but was hoping for more. Didn't accomplish much until reading the config file. Pressing B does indeed trigger a startup sequence...

I didn't see the videos. But sometimes when I move to another part of the route, the screen will go into a trembling act as it tries to render the new location. It can be rather violent if your point of view is very close to the ground or other object.

The standard Trainz "Container Station" industry just loads containers and will not ever unload containers. It does have a track on the other side of the industry's yard that accepts deliveries of General Goods. There is a sign over the two container loading tracks that, if it has not been...

I read the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is an impressive 13+1⁄2-mile (21.7 km), 15 in (381 mm) gauge light railway. There was a local egg ranch that had a 7.5" gauge setup. Us kids could have a ride if our parents bought eggs. My grandmother's brother-in-law built a good sized steam...

I always appreciate when railroads use train symbols containing letters indicating the origination and destination places. Can't imagine how much material the Big Dig project was using each day.

Not certain what version of the program or surveyor you're using. But when I click on an object to edit properties and get a blank dialog, it usually means the cursor is clicking on something else, like a tree or something. Not sure what's happening in your case.

Yes, Trainz will always display vertical units in meters. I suppose one could do a perfect cylindrical helix. I'd cheat and increase or reduce the radius per turn so that the track is never over a lower layer. As far as walls and facias, check out what assets others have used for indoor model...
