The Illinois Railway Museum Route

Hi Matt!
I really like your route and how you are working.
It will be a long work, but it continues.
Good job !
Thanks for the complement there Jango. Anyway I would like to apologies for being late on posting the screenshots I promised from yesterday but here they are. Note nothing really big as the progress from last week but made good progress yesterday again filling up the woody ROW that the museum mainline has by covering up a lot of tree trunks. How do I accomplish this while there are no photos of every section of the mainline, there are plenty of cab ride videos I've found on youtube such as this one below that helps me out on what areas need to be filled with trees and bushes and which parts need to be left pretty open up with little foliage.


Now onto the route progress shots

Thats all for now. I plan on working on my route a bit more tomorrow since thats my next day off. (I seem to be getting most of my worked done on my route on Wednesdays for some weird reason) lol.... so until then stay tuned.
 
Good. Very good.
Video support is essential.

Professional work. I like it.
Thanks Jango. Unfortunately not much progress was done today folks due to research finding I had to do for someone. But I decided to set up these scenes today.

I will try to do some more progress tomorrow before I go off to work.
 
Hello everyone, due to personal reason I only got a small bit done on my route today. Don't have much time until I leave for work so I will make this quick.

First I added in some more rusty stuff by the Steam locomotive shops.

Then I added in some more stuff to this area

I started work on adding in some buildings to this area outside the museum

Finally I added in this un-installed turntable to the route that Bendorsey made for me.

Thats all for today.
 
Good Afternoon everyone. Made some progress on my route today so lets get started.

I started work on filling up the gaps between the trees along the Boot Creek with bushes

Finally I decided to work on this end of the IRM mainline to fill it in with more trees and shrubs.

Thats all for today. So stay tuned until next time when I work on my route some more.
 
Oh and one more thing I forgot to mention is that ns2616 did a small update on his Milwaukee Road #1603 model. We are currently awaiting for PWieser to both help us out with the ARN and for him to give us the okay to release this one.

I would also like to announce a warm welcome to our newest member/contributor to our IRM project team and that is TweetsieDude who I agreed to help him out with his T&D 4-4-0 #16 model.

Thats all for today, so stay tuned until next time for another set up updates. :)
 
Possibly, some routes won't work in TS12 and it also depends on what trees Matt is using, as T:ANE uses a new version of the speedtree library that isn't compatible with TS12. These won't show up in TS12 if the trees are from the new library.
 
Correct I'm only going to make this route for TANE (unless we get a new version of Trainz). Hey daylightrain how's my reskins coming along.
 
I have T:ANE, TS12, TS2010 and TS2009 however I only use T:ANE and I haven't bothered to register the others as there is no point due to the Trainz lifecycle (I only bought them for routes and content). I had TS2006 a while ago but I haven't a clue what happened to the disk. Again, I didn't register it as at that time I didn't even know the download station was a thing and I was only interested in driving trains.

Its odd to see how wild performance of T:ANE is across so many systems. Some people have absolutely abysmal performance, even on high end rigs while others seem to have superior performance to pervious versions of Trainz. T:ANE performs much better than TS12 ever did on my PC. Routes that see 30-40 fps in TS12 get up to the 80's with V-sync turned off on T:ANE. If Matt wanted to, the IRM project group could work together to make a TS12 compatible version, however that would require a lot of work and the T:ANE version of the route has a long way to go before it's ready for release.

@Matt I will put some pics up when I get home later today and possibly a download link for some of the finished content if I feel like its ready.
