    Problem merging two routes in SP2

    Hi All, Sorry if this has been covered before, but searching didn't bring anything up, so... Since upgrading to SP2, I can't merge two maps. Well, to be sure, I can, but what happens is that both of the maps now have all of the tile intersections cleared of texture and the elevations brought...

    Share your sessions... please...

    Using real landscapes in fantasy routes?

    Hi All, I've been wondering about this for a little while and would like to get a little input from the group about the idea. Basically, I wanted to create a sort of scaled down version of the western US by using TransDEM and USGS data to create terrain, but then scaling the work within...

    A question for the peanut gallery

    Hi All, I've started working on trying to make some native mode layouts for TS2009 for myself. They are not based off of any real locations, just something for me to play with without poor performance and low-level graphics. As I'm working, I've thought about the possibility of releasing some...

    Content Manager and TS2009 Open at the Same Time?

    Hi All, Just like the title says, I'm wondering if there is a way to have both open at the same time. The reason is mostly because its very easy to find things in the content manager, but very hard to find things that you don't already know the names of inside of TS2009. Also, if there is some...

    UMR 2009 Problem

    Hi All, I've been trying to flesh out the UMR 2009 Base Session some so I have some traffic while running it an I found an annoying little error in the session. The Barton Power Station coal train will not move to unload its coal. I think this has to do with the fact that the Barton power...

    Any TS2009 only content yet?

    Hi all, I've been away for some time due to life events, and I'm returning now with the hope that there are some new layouts available somewhere that are compatible with all of the new features of TS2009. So I guess thats the question... are there any layouts yet built for TS2009 with all of...

    TIGER vs. Google Earth: What to do when they disagree?

    Hi All, Just like the title says, I'm looking for advice on which data to use when TIGER data, 1:24k Topo maps, and Google Earth imagery all disagree. At this point, they are mismatched about track locations and quantities along a stretch of track between Coolidge, KS and La Junta, CO... Both...

    TRS2009 - Translated built-in content?

    Hi All, Just wondering if there is a way to get all of the German language built-in content translated into English? I am interested in running many of the sessions, but I don't really get what I'm supposed to do because they are all in German and I just don't speak (let alone read) the...

    Yard Charts / High Detail Maps?

    Hi All, I've been running into a problem in working with overlay textures and basemaps when trying to build railyards using TranzDEM. The problem is that even 1:24k maps don't portray railyards (or any stretch of track with more than two rails running parallel for that matter) very well...

    x64 upgrade at some point?

    Hi All, Just found myself wondering if such an upgrade will be free for previous owners of the 32-bit version if it ever comes around. In my growing experience with x64 operating systems, I've found that about 50% of software developers offer the x64 software freely when it becomes available...

    MicroDem / HOG giving grid lines even though TGA has none..

    Hi All, Just like the title says, when I'm importing MicroDem maps into Trainz 2009 using HOG, I get faint grid lines (long, thin, straight ridges and troughs) showing up on my layout. Thinking that I didn't turn off the grids in MicroDem, I made another DEM import making sure there were no...

    Content Creation Guide?

    Hi All, Just wondering whether there is a comprehensive guide explaining the tools and outputs needed to create content for TRS2009? I'm pretty hand with Gmax and Blender and there are a few items which I'm either not happy with or that don't exist that I want to take a hack at creating. Most...

    Large Layout Limitations??

    Hi All, Just wanted to ask what all of the different limitations one might have to take into account when building an extremely large layout? As some of you may know, I'm wanting to put together something with 500-1000 miles of track (at a minimum), though not necessarily all end to end (branch...

    Navigation / Navigator?

    Hi All, Just wondering if there is a way to set up a driver command that will allow me to select where I want to end up, and it will set (or reset, in case someone else changes it) all of the switches correctly to get me there? I am capable of going along in map mode making all of the changes...
