Dome Car Question

[davesnow]

Is there one of these anywhere that has an interior view--- any road name will do? I mean, where you can sit in the dome of the car and enjoy the view as you ride along?

Yes. Lando (landlvr1) made one.

Okay Thanks, I'll check it out.

Cheers,

EDIT: BTW it's Landrvr1 not Landlvr1.

It would be fun to use PEV Attachment Maker or put a cabin view in all dome cars ... although I don't know how.

Yeah, I agree.

Those landrvr1 cars don't work in TS12---- even with the red errors fixed. Dang.

Can't believe in all the passenger cars out there, there isn't ONE SINGLE dome car that has a passenger view.....

 

[cascaderailroad]

I wonder if you can put an "AI Brake" in front, or in back, of the dome car ... and get somewhat of a dome car, cab ride view ?

Somehow it must be possible to add a "cabin" to the dome car config file ?

UP dome observation 9010,<kuid:78865:19010>
UP dome observation 9011,<kuid:78865:19011>

Those both have interiors, are on the DLS, and afaik, are error free and run in native mode/TS12 (they certainly appeared in my native mode TS2010 install, and they show 'not modified' in CM3.3, so I haven't fixed them in any way...)

After checking in TS12, they do have an error that needs correcting in TS12, but it's fairly trivial...

in config.txt, change:

nightmode                               "lamp                        "

to:

nightmode                               "lamp"

i.e, delete the excess spaces (they appear to actually be tabs rather than spaces, but that depends on how your editor shows them ...

Repeat this change for both cars (if you want to use both)...

The interior (dome lounge interior,<kuid2:78865:9011:1>
) however, also has a fault that needs 2 minor corrections:

in up_baggage_main.texture.txt

change:

Primary=UP_baggage_main.psd

to:

Primary=UP_baggage_main.tga

and in config.txt:

change this section:

i.e remove the extraneous lines.

Once you've done this, it should work fine.

Presto:

Landrvr's California cars, Pioneer Zephyr, and CBQ E5's can be fixed for TRS 2010 + with some effort (a few hours when I did it). The other stuff too, but it's more involved (especially the traction).

I've got a clean set of CZ / PZ / E5s fixed up with no errors on content or dependencies. Updated config files, changed progressive meshes to new-style meshes, removed the (IMO) bad-looking passenger silhouettes, fixed some obvious typos and missing / misnamed files that kept them from importing into 2010 / 2012 / Mac.

I wish we could update the versions on the DLS or upload missing items, but apparently Lando didn't allow this when he left. That really doesn't give us much choice but for each of us to make the same changes and/or share files separately.

Just wanted to shout THANKS, NIKKI at the top of my lungs! I am now the proud owner and operator of a functioning Dome Observation - on Trainz for Mac, no less. I appreciate very much the time and effort that went into your post. It worked!

Yeah, I agree.

TUME's Olympian Hiawatha (search in the DLS: "MILW-OH") includes a super dome with passenger view. In fact, the rest of the cars also have passenger view, too.
