I’ve been playing around with an MR idea and I’m looking for something to use for the fascia that would match the variable height of the terrain at the top and stay the same height at the bottom. Sort of the reverse of JR’s terrain track. I can use a backdrop, but I’d rather simulate fascia cut...

“Take the Survey – What is needed to produce the ideal train simulator”

I’m just kidding about the request, but I’d never seen this before and thought it was worth sharing. It’s a frame capture from an ATSF film titled “Assembling a Freight Train” (http://www.kansasmemory.org/item/227462). The film was produced in the 50’s and is worth watching if you’re interested...

I may be wrong (I often am), but I think there might be a problem for those of us who have TS12 SP1 and Midwest Grain installed. Please see my last post here http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?109752-Built-in-assets-listed-as-quot-unknown-quot. Thanks.

Is anyone else have a problem with the ENTER key when posting or responding? It works as it should everywhere but the forums.

This has nothing to with Trainz or even trains, but there are enough planes on the DLS to make me believe that a few folks might be interested—besides I think it’s kinda neat. Livecast from first US coast-to-coast solar powered flight. First stop PHX. Third stop, STL...

It has always been my understanding that the red target is displayed when the points are aligned for the diverging route. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Is my understanding correct, or are there situations where the red is displayed for the thru route? Uploaded with ImageShack.us Thanks.

Once again I have managed to shoot myself in the foot. I was moving some assets I had reskinned in 2010 over to TS12 and a couple of the kuids conflicted with items I had created in TS12. I worked around the problem by saving the TS12 assets to a CDP, deleting them, importing the 2010 assets...

I’ve found that disconnecting from the internet provides a noticeable performance improvement when driving some of the more detailed routes. The only problem is that I often forget to reconnect before opening CM. Is there a way to make CM re-try the connection without exiting the program and...

Is there any way to tilt an asset? For example, I have a sign that was created perpendicular to the ground (90 degrees) and I would like it to lean a little to one side (say 75-80 degrees). Is there any way to do that?

The car on the left is using the updated version of the trucks (kuid2:45681:50001:1). The car on the right is using a clone of the original version (kuid:45681:50001). I ignored the issue in TS2010, hoping it might go away in TS12. No such luck. I really don't want to run every session at night...

The photograph below was created by a Swedish photographer, Erik Johansson. I think that anyone who has ever attempted to merge two routes will understand why I thought is was worth a post. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered. I have searched the forums and the wiki, but that is often Catch 22. When a train enters a tunnel the camera defaults to what I call the clinging to the top of the cab view. Is there a way to have the camera default to Cab View instead...

Let me start off by saying that I am not trying to minimize anyone's frustration or irritation at not being able to access the DLS or to suggest that those feelings are not legitimate. Nor is it my intention to defend Auran/N3V or its service policies. I am simply reporting my own experience. I...

Does anyone know if the font property for the name effect variable works in 2010? If so would you please share the secret of how it is done? I have tried everything I can think of to specify a font with no success. I don't get an error when I commit the asset, but I don't get the font I want...
