Thanks Bob as you can see lots of actitivites

Not only trainz I do have lots of hobbies/activities and only 24/7 time slots to fill/share.:hehe:
I wonder how I could built this amount of trainz routes WIP over the last 7 years, built my house here at the same time in the NE not far from the Mekong river. More pictures on Google earth and in panoramio.

If you like muntjac deer see my youtube movies under my nickname pinkiepienter and look for titles " my deer moomoo part 1 (thru 7 i think)

Back to Trainz where we took some shots from inside the snowshed going east:

have a nice day,

Roy

Ning took it to the letter and pushed burn in Trainz surveyor:hehe::hehe:

This must be TS2010 is it not? If it is compatible with TRS2006 tell me, for I really like it.

 

[RoysTrainz]

The care and attention to detail you take with each scene is evident in each screen. Carry on Master Surveyor, carry on...:wave:

 

[RoysTrainz]

most humble thank you Ed

It's amazing what some textures can do and finding them is the famous needle in the many haystacks:hehe:.
Pragmatic thinking the more time you spent the more chance you have to find the needles and yes the haystacks too haha:hehe::hehe:
Serious now what I try to show in all my route(s) is the splendor of nature and ambiance of traveling in that region (I have never been there yet only Vancouver a few times for conventions quick in and out )

have a wonderful weekend

Have a wonderful sunday

monsoon down poor for the last 2 hours enough for the next year :hehe:
this is Thailand we are blessed with water,sun, cloud and good food and veggies and falangs.

GOOOOOOOD morning Thailand on this early monday morning

This week a fresh start and revisited the river banks of WIP Illecillwaet river near Canyon Hot springs.
Today i want to show the difference before and after look of same spot when doing some finishing touches with brush,grass, textures alterations.
Also important in TS12 is in background mountains the textures are many times dormant depending on the program to wake up.
The trick is using correct draw distance (min. 5000m regular 8.250m), viewing angle and distance will make the textures look detailed or not at all and just as a square or triangle.Also showing the trees all the way into the back or not it is very tricky but not impossible
I marked in the old view the locations i changed or added stuff.

anyone want to share opinions pls do so it helps make things look and work better.

This morning I visited Darkdan's splendid little promenade and enjoy what he do with TRS2004. just imagine he would use the stuff i have available what he would do with that.
Daniel has been for years my inspiration, thanks Daniel! (he never visits he is a hardcore TRS2004 one:hehe:

Hi MTW thanks for hopping in

yes Yoho nat. park is most beautiful pristene ski area with lots of powder of track skiing.
That picture was taken a few years ago and is part of the subdivisions covering Field to Calgary, which happens to be the next one releasing in 2012 after the one I am now "finishing" this year. i say finishing:hehe: things never get finished as there are so many little corners to fill to make a nice setup to many i have to limit myself a lot to get things done.
in the route Field Calgary there is a lot of Trainz Skiing (virtual skiing on real Trainz DEM slopes near Lake Louise and Banff with the famous Banff Fairmont and lots of ski lifts everywhere in that area and working!.
In Trainz snow is always powder 24/7:hehe:

have a great day
