Philskene Route Upgrade - Riverside Railroad

[Duke1234]

Hi yall,

So as literally none of you know Philskene's beautiful, scenic, "Riverside Railroad Co." is my favorite fictional route of all time. It reminds me of realistic Seaview from MSTS. Anyway, memory lane is now closed. I re-downloaded this route for T:ANE, and um, well it aged less like fine wine and more like milk. The actual city and industrial areas of the route still look amazing, in a classic Philskene style. The rest of the route was never upgraded when he ported it to TS12, so that's why I'm here! While I will not be able to release this route, as I don't own it and I cant seem to tell if Phil is still active, so I can chat with him. But, I'd really appreciate your opinions. I'm attempting to learn scenery and I just want to to see what you guys think so far. I have linked the video down below, and please if you don't like the music, just hit mute. The original audio went bonkers so unless you like screeching noises, its my choice in music or the mute button. :hehe:

Thanks Guys!

Just adding trees doesn't "improve" a route.
By the way Phill is still around and has a new route at the moment.
Cheers,
Mike

Well Mikeaust, trees are the obvious change, however most the textures have been completely replaced or (attempted to be digitally enhanced) as well as some bridges, buildings, other scenic elements such and rocks and what not, take a closer look if you didn't see

I should also mention that this is still a very early WIP, I realize now I did not make that clear at all. I think the 10 hours shift are starting to get to me

Trainz videos with only music still suck.

Trains are making music themselfs!

Latest route release of Phil, released June 22nd 2018.
Phil's account, showing he was active today.

If I were you, I would simply contact him by PM...

... and I agree with Richarde57; adding the music to the video wasn't an improvement :hehe:.

I should thought about that, whoops. Thank you. Trust me I agree with the music thing, but like I said, sound got messed up.

Hi Duke --

MSTS. Seaview. Ah -- the memories! You also remember Jim "Sniper" Ward? All his work was freeware with a note along the lines "I don't give a damn what you do with this. You can copy it, modify it, use it how you will. If you can find a mug who is prepared to buy it (when my free version is also available) you can sell it to him. You don't have to give me any credit if you don't want too either."

I actually like what you have done, despite the music. So, Duke, I'm quite faltered that you like the route and I don't give a damn what you do with Riverside. You can copy it, modify it, use it how you will. If you can find a mug who is prepared to buy it (when my free version is also available) you can sell it to him. You don't have to give me any credit if you don't want too either.

I'm looking forward to your revised version.

Phil
