Ashland Central V2 map

thanks for the compliment. I do layouts because I really enjoy doing them. It's probably my favorite part of the game. Creating another 100 board layout is quite time consuming, so once I start, it may be 4 - 6 weeks before it's ready for upload and that could be optimistic with the holidays coming on.
Happy Thanksgiving Jack and all Trainzers out there.

PS: I've been creating some sessions for the Ashland Central V2 and I keep running into a problem of the game crashing about 50% of the time when I drive a train through Friendsville. Don't have the problem anywhere else on the layout, just on the approach to Friendsville from the south. Have you noticed the same problem? It may be a content issue although TrainzObjects hasn't indicated any problem, too many splines in the area or a problem with my RAM or Video card. I've got 2GB of RAM, so that shouldn't be the problem. Got me baffled, but I'm trying to isolate it.

Just finished the tunnel. Not a bad job for my first try. Will put up a screen or two as soon as i can.

Checked out Friendsville and noticed alot of cache loading at the spot. Friendsville has quit a bit of stuff. Don't know if the buildings are low poly or what, but that could be it. Didn't crash, but cached alot

Something weird happened before dinner - Lost all the tunnels and bridges. They came back when i reloaded the layout - Weird, huh. That could be a glitch and your crash could be the same.

I've seen alot of route buildings and Poly count is the number one concern

See ya

Cheers

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of cache loading in the Friendsville area also. I haven't checked the poly count of the buildings in the area, but I've built cities before that didn't have as much caching as this place does. I just got through adjusting my performance setting to reduce texturing a little and decrease the distance drawing and it didn't crash on me. No other problems anywhere except there. Watertown and Blackwood takes a little caching, but nothing major.

By the way, I'm glad you managed to get the two routes merged.
 
How many Kilometres is this route and is it even bigger when you merge both routes

There's a rule at the DLS which will give you all that information just be adding it it ... Sorry but I can't recall the name ... But it does hava simple name which kind of tells the reader what type it is ...

For those of you that find is useful, here is a map of my revised Ashland Central Route that will be on the DLS in a few hours.

EXCELLENT ... Can't wait to see it ... Please drop a post here when the route is actually ready for DLS...

um Mike i have Sherwood and where ever there seams to need a tunnel its just a wall no tunnels. advice? i really dont want that on the new one
 
How far is the new layout progressing? It will be a good addition to "Ashland/Sherwood" as I call the merged route.

Jack:) :D

It's on the download station. There are two versions, but the latest one is Ashland Central V2.

Since uploading, I've noticed a couple of problems with some the track switches. There's about a half dozen on the route that show the wrong direction with the junction help errors. I've tried to fix them, but to no avail except the one on the east end of the wye east of Edison Power. I've deleted it and relaid it and it works. It seems that in laying the junction, the junction rails actually cross. It appears to turn right when you can see that it turns left and then crosses back over the rails to the right. I didn't catch it before the last upload, so you can fix it yourself if you want. The other turnout problems are a bit more puzzling. I've zoomed in on them and can't see any problems with them. Once you learn where they are, you can work around them. If I can figure them out, I'll upgrade and upload a revised version.
I haven't been doing this a very long time, so please forgive my errors.
Enjoy.
 
Mike ill post a screenshot soon butit seams where there should be a tunnel there is none. i hope this helps
im using TRS2006 no SP1
 
I don't know if you've had a bad download or what. I haven't had any other comments like this about it. I've had some emails from a few members telling me how much they enjoy the route. Have you run TrainzObjects to see if it shows any missing content. As a last resort, you might try deleting the route and downloading again. File size may be too large for me to email you the cdp direct.
 
its good your right falty install it working now all i need to do is get this route merge them and im good to go and make some sessions
