New Maritime and Canal Worlds of Trainz

- Start date
disable-extra-track-sounds 1 After a search added this line to traincar config which seems to work. However shows as an error in CCP in TC3 with a X to delete it but OK in CMP. Anyway gaff rig boat (sailing) nicely with the sound sound of the sea and no click-clack rail sound so it stays. Barry

Hi Barry
Good to see you still around. When i got 06 i did not get on well with it so thought would try TC3. I moved my Devon Lines over and have found the performance greatly improved. I did get the pause while cache was loaded in 04 & 06 but this does not seem to happen with TC3, it runs very smoothly indeed. Dont know if this is because the 06 .ja files have been copied over as well? (see missing built-in kuids thread)

As you know, it's not HOG which is able to process TIGER data, it's MicroDEM.
HOG is a converter. It converts tga image files to create a Trainz .gnd file, taking one image as input for the terrain height and the other image as input for a ground texture. It does not know anything about coordinates and scale except for mapping each pixel in the image files to an equivalent of 10 m.
MicroDEM does all the geodetic stuff, it has the necessary mapping formulas, it re-projects the SRTM DEM data and it can read and re-project TIGER data. The latter, I would think, is just by chance, as MicroDEM is not a designated map viewer, it's DEM tool.
You would need a proper map viewer for dealing with arbitrary maps. Not many of those viewers are freeware. GlobalMapper has been mentioned a lot, but it's not cheap. There are few others and some offer free evaluation with or without limited functionality. Some process DEMs, others do not.

Hi Barry
The locks work a treat, the only problem i had was that the boats would not go far enough into the lock in AI mode even with a trackmark set at 0m. You may also find that to operate the lock finding the red/green arrow can be a problem depending how you build the banks up.
I did a very rough layout with vulcans canal locks, bridge etc which can be downloaded from
http://www.devontrainz.co.uk/devon trainz/water world.cdp
It is only basic so those that asked could see how to set up the different items.

Hello Keith.
Will download the little route you mention.
Have looked at it the older one for ships and did try the canal locks many months ago before tc3 but couldn't get the part to show in surveyor for some reason.
Have tried Ians canal boats on the new track and also downloaded the canal swing bridge. I made a static version of one years ago on the DS based on ones near where I live with the old planks and the arm to push it to open.
Most seem to be replaced now with stronger metal parts because of the road traffic as originally bulit for horse traffic I think.
Many Thanks
Barry

I had your swing bridge years ago but you may also like to look at bridges by Bendorsey kuid 210518. He has done a working swing footbridge kuid2:210518:1514:1 as well as other canal bridges.

Thanks Keith I will look at the bridges by Bendorsey and download a few.
Tried downloading using cmp for the first time using tc3 and connected OK this time but not practical as on dial up.
Last time I tried that method was using 2004 with the other cmp. I have the route, main 3 canal locks, and boats I dowloaded earllier on plus invisible track etc, so have enough to give it a try.

At least with CMP you can stop the download at anytime and when you come back it will continue from where it stopped.
