MAPs

[danny5]

Has anybody found or know of a way to make a map of a route or session that can be printed out for TS12?

What I did was simply go to "map mode", take a screenshot of that, and edited in paint.

Or if you're thinking about ECML, there's a route map on wikipedia.

Lot's of interesting info on the line too. Got lost there for quite a bit!

I tried the screen shot and use up most of my ink. I think that if i use wire mesh it might not use so much ink.
never tried it in a paint program.Just prinned the screen shots.

G'day All, this is one thing that trainz lacks since TRS06 and it does not look like N3V is interested in coming to the party with an app to do this, printing screen shots is a bit of a cop-out and a real pain especially with the larger routes. Really makes creating sessions hard as previously you could do most of your planning on paper before going into surveyor.

There used to be a diagrammatic map available for the Razorback Railway's Classic (if I remember correctly) that I used many time to create my own sessions and therefore believe that anyone could do this sort of thing quite easily if needed. If it was for your own use then it wouldn't matter if it didn't look quite right or wasn't to scale or anything like that, so long as you were able to do what you wanted? Hope this helps?

Cheers

Well i was tring to do the UMR route, it being so big the screen shots will take to long and use up to much ink.
There too much texture even with just the wire mash using the map view.
