A bit more progress in and around Eureka Gulch. GNR and KVR trains pacing each other about a half mile from the Gulch. The KVR track is level at this location. The GNR track is on a 2.5% grade. Both tracks are at the same elevation at the location of the KVR depot, where an interchange track...

A few more progress screenshots. KVR #3 arrives at the wye just west of Republic with Morning Glory Mine ore loading platform behind. GNR ore train along Mud Lake, above Eureka Gulch. Last shot, I've been experimenting with changing the ballast texture on the track I am using. The dark...

Ok this one is a bit of a stretch for this thread, but there is Canadian content. Great Northern empty ore train reversing uphill on Bridge 15 crossing Granite Creek, towards the mines in Eureka Gulch, Republic Mining District, Ferry County, Washington. KVR passenger excursion in the...

I have uploaded a new video to YT for my route. It follows a freight train from Castlegar to Nelson in British Columbia's interior, a distance of almost 26 miles. Here's a screenshot at Taghum, 4 miles west of Nelson, crossing the Kootenay River. Here's a link to the video:

It seems to be related to the other issues people are having with track associated items. I deleted the track I use, then re-installed and moving consists works fine now. I hope this doesn't mean that every type of track in the database has to have this done if I ever want to use it in the...

So a couple of pictures to illustrate what it is/isn't doing. First picture - placing a consist. This works fine. Now to try to move the consist to a new location along the track. In pre-SP5, the consist would follow the track, changing shape to follow the curves of the track. Second...

I've updated to the latest Trainz Plus. I wanted to place some 1 mile consists end to end to do some measurements. Placed the first one, but when I tried to move it to the correct starting point, it wouldn't stay at the new location. It always snaps back to the original placement point. Also...

Kettle Valley No. 2 northbound at Ward Lake, near Grand Forks, B.C.

Columbia River Crossing at Castlegar, B.C.

So I now have a method that works for me to grade a river. Basically just set the grade angle similar to the path of the river. Then bring the ground level up to the same height as the water at that location. Then start adding water where the ground and water are at the same elevation...

So I want to create a meandering river at a constant 0.5% grade, but when I use the grade setting for ground height or water, it only grades in one direction, set by the angle. If I change directions the grading stops or even worse it starts going the opposite grade. Is there a way to have...

Well I have to give up on the HD Terrain for now. Just for curiousity, I converted the whole route to HD Terrain. The size was not as huge as I expected it to be. It topped out at 3.8GB. All of the visual artifacts disappeared and the jelly like motion of the PBR textures disappeared...

I thought it was a good idea until I had a look after the fact. The screenshot below is typical of the seam between the two types of terrain in a mountainous region. Never had an issue with visible seams between 10M and 5M. Now I don't know which way to go. Go back to 10M and 5M or press...

Thanks MasterTracklayer for the background on the issue. I may still send it in as a bug report just to see what N3V suggests. For now I'll have to try to keep the effects from crossing each other's paths as much as possible when placing them in the route. @p-dehnert I already had the...

So I have been experimenting with using the Smoke effect and have noticed that in many cases, the game engine does not layer the effects correctly. By this I mean that a smoke effect which is behind another smoke effect will sometimes be obscured by the effect in front and sometimes it will be...
