Japan
- Thread starter connyxy
- Start date
Ah! Thanks.
That would probably be my own (new) Shinkansen Station Sound which I have yet to upload. The layout will run fine without it. But I will try to fix it this week. Now hoping for some reports how it runs because my own system can just run it.
One tip when loading the test session or surveyor is press pause and then let it load and unpause if everything is on screen. I noticed that when the layout is loaded for a second time that everything goes faster. That to said: The the start session should run fairly fast because it is a test scenario with only two TGV's active.
In my own private super session there are at least 30 trains active at any moment. Shinkansens run from the central portal rule but with an interval of 7 minutes.

My computer can run it just fine. I must say it is pretty expansive. I just ran the shinkansen route and I enjoyed it. I was wondering if there was a place to run most of the Japanese rolling stock, because the track the TGV is running on seems to be standard gauge.
If you look in central city (To Shin) which is in the central place on the map you see (besides the large Shinkansen Terminal) a circle line track (narrow gauge) and a VSE Romancecar Track (also Narrow gauge and suited for all narrow gauge EMU's). On the circle line you can run all kinds of Japanes EMU', DMU's. I will soon start a separate tread which serves as an introduction/ instruction hub.
EDIT: You see it in the first screenshot of post #1418 of this thread. It is the track the VSE car runs on and further left you see the circle line track.

nice. would it be able to run in trains 12? I'd thought I'd ask first before downloading the route. I know most of the trains work but not sure of the layout itself.
Hi Railshuttle. I don't think it works 'out of the box' in Trainz 12. At first I think things have to be converted.
Of course you may try but at your own risk.
On the DL station it clearly states Trainz 2009/2010. Sorry
@Railshuttle. I downloaded my own layout from scratch. its 577 mb so you have to have a FCT otherwise its going to take long but... It works. Even more excellent than I thought. This is the first time I am actually content with Trainz 12. The performance even seems to be better. I am now running the N700 from Hirochi on the Shinkansen track and I am able to push up the sight distance to 5000 m. So it seems TS 12, TS 10 compatible too. Edit I'm seeing a bug now so maybe I have to fix a few things but so far it looks promising. Maybe wait a bit before downloading it so I can look what works an what not.
Edit 2: So far it looks promising. But I have to fix a few things but a specialized Trainz 12 version should be possible.

That's cool to hear. I'm guessing that it may have been some of the buildings that were too old to work in 12 but hey I'll wait it out. I've been waiting to try this route out ever since I saw the vid posted awhile back. Could anyone post more screenshots or a short video of a "Tour of the property type" ?
@ Railshuttle:
I've uploaded the TS12 version and a TS12 test session. It has to go through the content process so it should be up this week.
After that I create some more extensive sessions and open a separate thread for this layout.
It runs wonderful in TS12.

cool!! thanks alot!! I'll be looking forward to it!!
Good news.
Tomorrow I'm going to pick up my new computer.
My old laptop is no longer enough. New will be much better and it's mainly made for gaming.
I will create and build maps and objects again.
I'm looking forward to his first run of Trainz.
Four core CPU, 2GB GPU and 8GB RAM and lot more. You know what i mean.
I checked that it should be fully able to start TS2012 at high detail. But I'll stick with good old TS2009.

good to hear from both of you!1 I will start downloading the route next week. I hope i got enough room for it. my TS 2006 has a massive layout that has three USA lines BNSF, CN and NS plus a made up japan line the runs along side of them.
Not to worry though, As soon as I finnish downloading it and getting it going, I'm gonna post some screenshots myself.
Matura, nice to see you back and have a new computer to boot. let us know if you can run TS 12.
take care everyone!!

great news matura! I've started downloading the stuff for electro island T12 version. It will most likely take a whole month there's alot of stuff to get. This is the first route i've downloaded that uses the toy trees. Is there some sort of amusement park on the layout?

well I guess I'm almost done downloading it. It appears I already have most of the stuff just missing some track a few houses and some ground textures.
funny thing though I ran it and there was one area where the tracks are going up the side of the hill. I'm thinking it will straighten out once I get the bridge or something. Oh yeah Hirochi has released some pretty cool J-cars that are modern. even the Bayformer Bumblebee car is there LOL!! I'm now getting some of the old 103 series commuter trains to run on the circle line downloading.

hey pagroove, I've run into a slight problem during the download. the CR stations are not available (The three french mini stations) and the website they came form is also gone. also there is an area where the tracks run up the mountian and not through it. I think a tunnel is missing but it isnt. Unless japan has trains that can scale mountain sides like Spiderman.
i
I need screenshots to answer those issues. I tested in in Trainz 12 and it works well. I did a complete redownload of my own work from 0% and made the necessary fixes. And everything was complete. I got no errors of missing stuff. Also every item should be available on the download stations because I downloaded nothing from other sites.
