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...

I used Amtrak once and we did end up following a freight train at 25mph. Not certain if it was UP or SP at that point. It really messed up my connections at the destination. I've never chosen Amtrak again for transportation. I'm still game for tourist/excursion trains.

Yes. "California routes" thread 178874 I put a link to it in my original response.

There was a thread on California routes that might have SP, WP and UP routes listed. California routes

Jointed Rail already has some F45s. Not certain about MILW though. I bought the ATSF passenger and freight versions just because I like F45s.

I can't say much Jim. There are a number of things I should be doing right now, instead I'm checking the forum to see what everyone has been writing. :-)

I am not often defending N3V, but the Trainz franchise lets almost _anyone_ create and upload assets to the DLS. Some of those assets are not at all efficient for use in a very large 3D environment. You get a handful of assets that squander the system's resources and the simulation runs very...

I use 19 offline most of the month. Can't say anything about 22. But why would N3V change the authorization method? Is S2 only available online? I'm house sitting currently and have been online more than usual.

@dangavel With that background, no wonder indeed that you liked trains. I think that it's great that you had that influence. My oldest sister married the son of a Southern Pacific steam engineer. I never knew until after his father died. A gal I liked in high school was a daughter of an SP...
