I found a route on the DLS called SeaPort1 by smooz. I downloaded it with CMP, and then opened it in surveyor. All I could see was the terain mesh, no tracks or any thing else. I then found the minimap, which had tracks, roads, and water as (I assume a tga file) cyan, red and blue.
Realizing that I did not know what I was doing, I wandered around the web and found a couple of tutorials. From what I can see, smooz has done the DEM, TIGER thing and then packaged the route up and uploaded to the DLS.
But the turorial that I was looking at was for T2004, not T2006 and at the end of the tutorial, they showed opening the mini map and RMB on a section of track to orient the grid and minimap. THis works okay, but then they showed closing the minimap and zooming in, and seeing a cyan line on the grid, and placing track using that. I get nothing but grid! no colors or lines other than the bog standard grid lines.
I tried opening the minimap, and clicking to lay track on that, and that didn't work either. I tried puting a section of track on the grid, and noticed that on the minimap, there was a faint black line that wasn't there before. I then got things sort of lined up, so I could have the minimap open, and see the track. I then found that I could move the track and the faint black line moved on the minimap.
Is T2006 that much different than T2004 in this respect? There has to be a better way to do this.
The other glitch was when I hit the undo button, a whole section of the minimap just disappeared! Is this normal??
