Hello Fellow Trainz Forum Members.
Today, Andrew aka Kingstonflyer and I want to make it official at this time and announce that we have been working on a fictional route over the last couple days called Eagles Pass. The route is a fictional desert route and has a southwest USA flavor to it. We are creating the route for Trainz 2010, But it could possible work for Trainz 2012 as well.
Here is what the route will include and they are as follows:
- There will only be one version of the route
- 75 to 125 miles of double mainline running
- The route will be highly detailed
- Over a dozen bridges all together
- 1 or 2 tunnels are possible
- Alot of mainline running with some switching oppotunities as well
- 2 medium cities on the end of each route with 2 or 3 small towns in between
- A yard in each of the medium size cities while there will be 1 small yard in one of the small towns along the route
Now, Here is what each of us are doing on the route and they are as follows:
Andrew aka Kingstonflyer
- All of the Trackwork
- Telephone poles - Powerlines
- Most of the roads
- Bridges
- Tunnels if there are any
- Signals
Myself aka Eaglefan9727
- Creating the mountain terrain
- Ground texturing
- Vegatation
- Scenery such as buildings and so forth
- Rivers and lakes
- Adding the baseboards
As of right now, We only have a few miles laid out for the route and about a couple miles of scenery completed. The way we are doing this is that Andrew will lay down about 15 to 20 miles of track at a time and the other stuff. When he gets done with that. He will send me the updated version of the route and I will do all the things that I am doing for the route. And once I get those 15 to 20 miles done. Then, I will send him the updated version of the route, So he can do another 15 to 20 miles or Andrew and I will take turns with the route on a weekly basis.
As of right now, We have no idea when this route will be ready. It will get done when it gets done and both of us are happy with the results. Every Monday, I will be posting a couple WIP screenshots of the route, So you can see how the route is going. As for Andrew, I am not sure when or if he will post some WIP screenshots to share with you. That decision will be at his own discretion.
At this time, We would like to share the first 4 work in progress screenshots of Eagles Pass. These shots were taken at 10:00 in the morning with all of the settings on high (Even the draw distance at 5000), But with default skies. Please note: The first two shots are taken of areas where the route is 100 percent completed while the last two shots. I still have to add scenery to those areas.
Take care,
Eaglefan and Kingstonflyer
