Yes all up to date. I know it’s not essential to have the grid though for the life of me I don’t know why N3V replaced the default on creating a new route with a coarse dark grass texture that is no use for lining things up and going to get painted over anyway. Now whether this issue affects all...

I did a clean vanilla reinstall of the Steam version after the last update triggered the never ending Database rebuild. However now finding if I open a route and go to replace the default green terrain with the PBR grid texture, Surveyor just locks up and needs a Ctrl-Alt-Del to exit. It has...

Same here with Steam version. The Database rebuild is crawling along, 186 of 9740 asset folders scanned after nearly 45 minutes. Why can't this process go on in the background and allow you in the game to work on your route. Or remember where it got to and resume from that point if you come back...

I while back I tried to do the Bonavista branch, but quite challenging. Although the course of the line was largely evident on Google Earth I couldn’t find any information as regards track layout, gradient profile or speed limits etc. Like many of my projects, sadly it fell by the wayside.

Good luck John. Unfortunately I lost most of the resources I had gathered in a big laptop crash and emergency reformat a couple of years ago. Although the main Bermuda Railway site is still there I couldn’t find the detailed description to plot the course on Google Earth, well the section...

One thing TSW is - now getting expensive! The new Cardiff City network releases tomorrow and amounts to around 20 route miles in total. It looks as if the project was mainly done by Rivet Games who have a reputation for shoddy workmanship. The Class 150 has been recycled from West Cornwall and...

Mega necro I know, but I take it none of the previous Bermuda Railway attempts (including mine) got anywhere? Maybe time to dust it off again...

All DRS lacks is a means of importing real world terrain and a mapping overlay, similar to Transdem for Trainz. I keep prodding the author about it but not materialised so far. Otherwise the terrain adjustment tools are fairly awful, but with no support for any sort of mapping even a kml line or...

Same here. No one wants to come across as a gimmie pig. The situation wouldn't be so bad if the older serviceable items didn't become obsolete or faulty due to removal of dependencies, usually due to service violations. Even worse, when like some of the LUL Underground assets which were deemed...

Not to mention even if feasible and ethical, most stuff from MSTS ported into Trainz is going to look right for the TRS2004/2006 era. What's needed are more high quality items, including cabs, sounds and physics more in line with what we might expect from TSC or TSW even Derail Valley.

And your point is? Not everyone has the skills to make rolling stock, just as some people are unable to put together a route. The whole purpose of wishlists is to maybe encourage those who do have the necessary skills to have a go at making the item. We come together as a group, where some will...

Still lacking quite a few UK BR era DMU's and EMU's. We have a passable 101, 105, 108 and 116/117 but no Class 120 Cross Country or 123 Inter City. We have a couple of reasonable Hastings DEMU's but no Class 205 Hampshire or Class 207 Oxted units. Most of the Southern EMU's still flag as faulty...

Presumably Trainz Plus still only subscription which doesn't really interest me?

Derail Valley is actually very good as are the train physics. My biggest issue is that even with the graphical and other improvements, the same old map has started to get stale. Down to The Harbour, back up to the steel mill etc. One thing N3V could take from DV though is the new despatcher...

Believe me a large percentage of the TSW player base, myself included, view the decision to devote resources to bringing "Thomas" into the game as a complete waste of time and effort which could be better spent on other projects. Doesn't help they are putting the cartoon version of the loco on...
