Hiawathamr Metra Sessions

I am seeing four seasonal sessions for Metra by Hiawathamr on the DLS. My question is to Hiawathamr or anyone else using these sessions: What route does these sessions work with? I would like to try them, but don't know if I have the route or need to download it or if it is payware somewhere? The sessions are build 3.6, 2015 and 2016. Thanks to whomoever for any answers!
 
Hello forester1,

The sessions where made for the "The BNSF Line Complete Route" TS12 pre-SP1. Since they're made for that version (v3.6) back at the time, there will be several missing assets not only due to not all TS12 content on the DLS, but a few 3rd party assets that I though they where taken care of, but not all made it out. Sadly, I don't remember where they all came, as its been 4-5 years since I officially used 3rd party content from websites.
They where my first upload to the DLS, so the sessions might be broken for all I know (I didn't know much on session building back then). I might come back to it and upgrade it, and probably expand it down the road...

To view all of my freeware sessions / routes, here is the thread I made:

Cheers
 
Thank you sir! It happens that I actually do have that route downloaded and it is only missing one asset, and it is Auran:

If someone knows a T:ANE substitute maybe it is possible.
Not to say there won't be assets missing from the sessions, but it is definitely worth it to me to download them and give them a try! Awesome!
 
I have both the route and the sessions although I haven't run them in years... A quick test of the Metra Christmas session seems to indicate that it still works in TANE. (I am also missing that asset)
 
That's excellent news to hear they still work! I been thinking that Trainz has broke everything as in session rules (well, maybe) and would have several missing assets.

That's the TS12's version of the open coal hopper. It should be easy to replace via config file. Just find Auran's newest coal hopper, replace TS12's version with the latest one on the DLS, commit, and it should work without problems. Would be nice if N3V can just upload it instead :D

Cheers
 
Thanks again Hiawathamr! I was surprised to find the three words open coal hopper brought no results in my T:ANE installed CM. Open hopper brought several, but only one Auran, and that is a green MaM Mount Aspen Mining hopper with a flat bottom. I guess I'll pick a nice BN or BNSF to substitute.
