I want to create a fantasy railroad on a tropical island based on a real-world island.
Is there a speedy way to create all the correct topology and texture based upon an actual island without countless hundreds of man hours of measuring and tamping ground?
The island, of course, will be surrounded by water, the Pacific Ocean.
There will be a main city and a few small towns around island which I will develop. The will also be an improved airport, for jet planes, and improved infrastructure as paved roadways. There will be a deep sheltered harbor with shipping docks.
This will be a large-scale "virtual floating Disneyland" of sorts. Trains will carry people all over the resort island. I want an island at least 15 miles long or wide.
I would just like to take a section of a world map like Google maps and instantly translate it into a Trainz map with most if not all the topology and texture instantly done.
How do professional route developers develop routes based on a real-world map? This might require some content creation software.
Yes, I want to drive a loco with an ocean view.
