Thanks for the replies, folks! We also get rain and sunshine together here in Italy at times, but I was talking about really ugly rainy days. @pcas1986: thanks for the reference, I was just thinking about tampering with some values there, but I found no functions referring to the "Sun" and...

Hello folks, we had to retire the Donner Pass for the reasons I stated above (we would have to incorporate TrainZItalia as a regular e-commerce company, and all our accountants shrieked "Don't even think about it!"). Since then, the TS12 version can be purchased directly from Jango. Some daring...

I made a session with variable weather, but I am disappointed because the lighting remains the same, regardless of the weather. I have seen the rain coming down on a sunny day, but this is a quite rare occurrence: usually the lighting during a thunderstorm is radically different from that of a...

These devices are used to push any cars that stop before reaching the string of cars that already stands on the receiving tracks. In fact, when they are at rest they are positioned at the very beginning of the receiving track. When we still had hump yards here in Italy, before some genius...

Fixed track should snap together: I routinely use the curved sections to make circular tracks (then I replace them with track splines) As far as I know Auran's built-in tracks snap together with no issues. The only way to check whether a fixed track (or an industry track) snaps is to view it in...

Hello Rico, the route is ready (as well as the sessions, rolling stock, documentation...) is ready for the release (at last!) I only have to find the time required to upload all the files on our website within a very busy work schedule, weekends included... stay tuned

Hello from Italy! The Rollins Pass is due to be released in a few days: we are carrying out some final tests attempting to prevent the many issues many US users had with the previous version because of the (exceedingly) large size of the CDP files. This is a major reworking of the previous...

Hello all, I was testing a passenger coach for a friend and I noticed that the elbow of one of the passengers protrudes beyond the coach body (see image below). All the points have been properly set at the same distance from the centerline and all other passengers behave normally. The issue...

This [unprintable][unprintable] continues to upload stolen material: on September 29th he has uploaded to the DLS: Casa cantoniera 03 KUID: <KUID:334133:250473> another clone of the "Casa cantoniera 3" with a different KUID (I fail to understand the logic of this guy) <kuid2:53261:25047:3>...

I think that the introduction of multiplayer has opened a huge can of worms as regards to cloned assets. I can somewhat understand (but not approve) a user who uploads an asset that is essential to play multiplayer on a route, but I am at a loss when I see multiple absolutely identical copies...

I just noticed this thread, which is almost 10 years old: https://forums.auran.com/threads/lord9-uploading-everyones-creations-to-the-dls-vulcan-fma-pofig-etc-etc.110665/ Why is this repeated offender still around?

I just noticed that the user "Lord9" has uploaded two assets from the "Sebino Lake" payware route on the DLS with his kuid. This [unprintable] [unprintable] has not even bothered to change the preview images (thanks for the free advertising for TrainZItalia!!), and the KUIDs he used are just...

I used the "Un-portal" rules to generate variable consists in my sessions: I have been away from Trainz for a while, however, and I don't know if this approach still works in TRS19. The portal you use to generate the train should not(*) affect the orders you gave to the driver, anyway. (*) I...

There are several driver orders on the DLS that allow decoupling the Nth car of a consist. They all work along the same principle: they refer to the car position in the consist, while the built-in "Decouple" refers to the car name, so it cannot be used before the car exists in the game. In the...

F1 also works with "Display HTML Page" (at least, in TRS19 it does). I routinely use it to allow the player access to the timetable or to the switch list for the session.
