American Intermodal: Released

jointedrail said:
Yes, you should be able to join them but adding a small piece of track at the join point. We hope to release a couple of these that can all be merged together to have a cool module route you can sort of setup any way you want.

I would like to join the Cold Creek Logistics, American Intermodal and Midwest Grain 3. Anybody have ideas, or better yet detailed instructions on how best do it?

Thanks!

No Joy in mudville.....yet.......American Intermodal, the Mijack crane ect, all are OK in CM

BUT, Surveyor refuses to show the crane !!!!!
Everything else appears to be there.

Merging the routes is not all that complicated, as all of the modules are oriented along the North South axis. The only module you may have problems with is the Diamond River Mine, you will need to add blank grids. I have merged all of JR's MWG Grain & Cold Creek routes plus others into one 100+ mile route. Merge the smaller into the larger route & change the route-layer name on in the layers menu on the main route.

Dave I hate to break up your party... ;) The crane is in the train menu as it's driveable!

Thanks,

Never seen that before......I think I'll have to make American Intermodal my first purchase when I get a new pc. Thanks to a damned virus that rendered my pc unusable I can't do much with Trainz, though my interest has dropped slightly for this simulator.
 
Can anyone give me some quick info as to how to get started using all of the animated assets: driveable trucks, cranes, etc.? I have NO CLUE as to how to get started.

Thanks.
 
Hi,

Nice route. I like the ground colors and trees. It all looks very good together.

But..... I haven't been able to load trains. Only un-load. I'm using all the cars that came with the basic session. How do you setup the trucks to show up with a container?


Thanks, Don

How in the name of the wired wired world of sport, have you managed to get the crane to unload, mine keeps coming up " crane looking for place to unload "

any help would be great.

Using the base session, well cars and containers that comes with the route all you need is a double stack loaded with 40 foot containers. At the moment that is all it can handle but they are working on integrating the 45, 48 and 53 foot containers. The ramp can handle 40 well cars. Just pull it in, park it and watch the show.

Thanks for the user guide. It makes it easier to understand the whole process.
But...

I am using Build 61388 Trainz 2012 with all the updates and Hot fixes, I set up the crane, the truck and trailer and the loaded wellcars with 40' "loaded high cube" containers as instructed in the guide. The portals were already set by yourselves when I downloaded American Intermodal (AI).



What happens when I am in Driver, I get the "JR Intermodal Ramp 3 will begin load/unload in one minute." One minute rolls around and the message board shows two messages one after another, instantaneously, "load/unload started for Train consist**." then "load/unload finished for train consist**" without anything happening, nothing, butkus. The trucks keep rolling in but the train is not unloaded.



Could you possibly be able to lend me assistance to solve this issue. Thanks
Claude

any wellcars you wish to modify for use with this industry you do so at your own risk.

the following needs to be added to your wellcar's config.txt in the extensions container.

Code: 
intermodal-45324
  {
  	att_load_top 					    					"3.192"
  	att_load_bot    										"0.296"
  }

this will be the height of the attach points for the loads top and bottom. to find what these values are, load the wellcar mesh in PEV's mesh viewer and view the attach points. cylce through the points until you highlight the one you want, and then record the Z value in the fields above.
 
Okay, i made a little test route to try the pack on. The thing is, i put a truck and chassis in the loading zone, the chassis loaded with a 40' container, as well as a single locomotive and empty husky stack. The crane will not pickup the container loaded on the chassis, therefore stopping the whole process. I have consulted the guide but nothing has worked. Ideas? This seems like a cool pack to use, if only i could actually use it.
