I tried out the new S20 Bulk Replace tool on ground textures and I can report that it works well. I do have a few suggestions that could possibly be included in a future beta release or, if too complex, a future quarterly update. Perhaps some of these are already "in the pipeline", if so then...

Your post reminded me of an article in the April 2024 edition of a railway journal I subscribe to (Railway Digest published by the Australian Railway Historical Society). Despite its origin (an historical society) it covers all the latest news in the Australian railway industry. One article...

Here in Sydney we had a solar powered ferry running on the harbour about 10 years ago. It was a small ferry and the roof and sides were covered with solar panels. I don't know why it was withdrawn from service but back then solar panels were more expensive and less efficient that those we can...

You can do that with EV locos - and better still, do it with power coming from renewable energy sources, even solar panels mounted on the loco roof - see solar-powered-train-makes-its-first-run

The filter bug has been fixed. This rendered all track objects invisible when the filter was switched from Filter Visibility to Filter Selection or Filter List. The Filters are now in a new separate Filter Palette with a few new options.

Dan (I assume that is your first name) we are not as diametrically opposite as you assume. The asset packaging system, which was designed to solve the problem of users having to download a mass of DLS assets (often at a non-FCT speed) after downloading a DLC route that they paid for, is a great...

I have no problems with including Packaged assets in my "DLC/Third Party free routes" as long as the packaged assets have a version that is on the DLS. Many (but not all) packaged assets do have a version that is on the DLS and it is a simple task to check - just right-click on the packaged...

In my case I have a copy of TRS22 PE installed that only has assets that are Built-in or Installed from DLS. I use that copy to test all my routes and sessions that are under development in my main Trainz Plus install. If they load into the TRS22 PE version without any errors then I know that...

I agree with Forester1. I have 0 st_mm assets installed and there are none of the DLS I have 488 st_rmm assets installed (most of them packaged) and there are another 900 odd on the DLS (including obsolete versions).

There was a Star Trek episode that was centred around a steam train that was running on the holodeck.

The "Navigate To ..." and its often preferred alternative "Drive To ..." must have industries as their destinations. Adding new industries is not always a simple task (sometimes it is but usually not). The "Navigate To Trackmark ..." and its often preferred alternative "Drive To Trackmark ..."...

Red junction circles (in Surveyor Classic) or red junction dots (in Surveyor 2.0) simply mean an incorrectly formed procedural track junction but this does not stop the junction from working correctly (see the Trainz Wiki at How to Use Procedural Track). These are not the same as broken track...

Strong possibility is that you have a broken track spline between the consist and the next signal. Another possibility is that a switch ahead is directing the path to an unterminated track (or a track with a broken track spline). Some clarifications are needed:- What do you mean by "legacy...

You are correct. I was thinking more in terms of the visual transition from layer 1 to layer 2. You would have to use the Set Height brush action to raise and drop the layers in and out of the scene but there would still have to be an overlap and what would that look like? I must try it sometime.
