Australian screenshots

[VinnyBarb]

This is a closeup of the bogies of my soon (tm) to be published SAR Bluebird RDCs. I used half sized normal mapping (compared to the main texture map) on these bogies and despite what others say, you be the judge if the normal mapping effect is good. You have to excuse the fish lens effect of these screen shots, TANE now has a horrible fish lens effect which will spoil a lot of screen shots made. Click the thumbnail for its bigger picture:





This is the same bogey that can be used on my old Ghan/Indian Pacific coaches, which I might upgrade one day to TANE standards.

Cheers

The first part of this post is for those trainz members doing Nth QLD and maybe it will help generate screenshots of this region. I have posted the URLs for the cadastral maps for the Innisfail Tully Babinda areas
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByB-ppGeDyvwVVp6XzFtelNmUlE/edit

Attention trainz management; Just behind your Helensvale building are some interesting steam train era remnants. These rail cuttings can be seen immediately west of the Gold Coast Country Club’s golf car park south of the present day Helensvale electric train station. Cutting 64 is located UTM 56J 533392 6910151. The present day electric rail is just west of these rail archaeological remnants in this area. Maybe time you organised a staff function at that nearby golf car park area?



The main archaeological remnants areas are about 900 meters south of Helensvale station. Can be walked from the Westfield shops on bitumen road over the small road bridge over rails south of platform and along the road to the golf car park. Parts of the Coombabah Creek bridge piers are still there. Since you trainz staff work very close by and perhaps are rail fans as well, you might know the bush track under the present QR Coombabah Creek bridge to gain access east to the old bridge.

@Petan,

I think I may have that exact cutting on my South Coast Railway; I will post a screenshot shortly.

Those reading the Innisfail maps be aware the 2ft operations included QR till mid 1977. That allows both 3ft6in and 2ft locos etc in the QR Innisfail depot.

Due to the Innisfail Shire Tramway, one of Queensland Railways only 2ft gauge railways that was sold to the local Sugar Mills.

The Orbost to Traralgon line meets TS12! Everything went much better than expected, now just going through and updating track/bridges/scenery objects with the new VR content available. Couple of shots...

P11 on it's only ever visit to the Orbost line trundles along the Mitchell River bridge as it approaches Bairnsdale with the up goods.

Looking down towards the Bairnsdale yard, the up goods awaits the arrival of the down Gippslander.

Ooooh, very nice Tom!!

A few from a test run of my M class today. Finally got the coal load animated

230 simmers quietly as it awaits departure at Yarra Glen with a race train

A short time later, 230 steams across the Yarra Flats bridge in the evening sun.

Having worked it's way south, 230 steams over one of the many bridges near Coldstream.

After a short stop at Lilydale, 230 steams on towards Ringwood, where the train will be combined with a regular suburban service, and taken over by a larger loco.

Hi you lovers of my created Oz locomotives and coaches, you will be pleased to know, most, if not all of these will work in TANE. Just click the thumbnails for a bigger picture:





These are screenshots from TANE CE, only the generic interior (cabs) created by AURAN/N3VGames for these locomotives here have not been upgraded yet for TANE, hence I am using presently the build in generic SD40-2 interior to get these screenshots made. Plus a couple of locomotives are with minor graphic glitches from what I could see. Any TS12 created locomotive by me has the script working correctly in TANE CE, I have not tested the TS09 or the TS10 created locomotives yet for scripts working as this has changed in TS12.

Cheers

Good to hear VinnyBarb, there would be a massive gap in Australian rolling stock without them.

PS - what happened to the Mk1 G/BL class you were working on?

Cheers

I had the upgraded Bluebirds (the ones I had created for TRS04/06 but never released) build and running in TS12 SP1 31688 before and loaded these into TANE CE, when TANE CE came out, I tried these there, ALL is working as it should. Driver change with direction change, marker and other lights also change with direction traveled, doors open on passenger enabled stations (<--still needs fixing by N3VGames in TANE CE) and passengers load/unload. Auto numbering works, so one only needs to d/load one of each of the 100, 250 and 280 Class Birds when on DLS. Even have ditch lights flashing alternatively ( I know, no ditch lights with the real SAR Bluebirds).

Looking super in TANE CE.

So far I only have one LOD, still need 3 more LODs each plus the bogies 3 more LODs done too. Getting side tracked with TANE CE presently. Most likely the Bluebirds should be ready by end of February with the release of TANE.

@Hiyo

No more new G/BL Classes from me. Ask Zec, he might know. The rage is still there.

I must say, Vinny, your locos looks great in the new lighting they've got in TANE

Some screenshots of the up Orbost goods, leaving Orbost and getting nearly as far as Waygara.

Coming to a PC near you soon

I hope so, Tom!

May I ask Tom, how long did it take to make the Orbost-Tralagon line, and what 3D modelling program did you use for the custom models?

Cheers

Tom and his dad have been building it on and off for about 5 years.. And he uses 3DSMax. He's quite good at it too...
