Trainz DEM request for an American location?

[raffy1]

Just wondering if anyone with access to trainz DEM and American terrain/heightmaps etc is able to create a route/or two for me as a small favour?]

Cheers.

Producing DEM's utilizing Tranzdem for others would be a violation of the the licence.
So do not believe anyone will do it for you.

Not an issue if that person owns a commercial lic for TransDEM

There are many TransDEM produced maps on the DLS already. Are we sure they have all been produced with a commercial licensed copy of the App?
I doubt it.

Is there a distinction in the license between uploading DEMs to the DLS and uploading full routes made with the DEMs? As Rico says, I see plenty of the former.

I would be surprised if any use involving Trainz would fall under a commercial license. I think that is aimed more towards the construction industry and architectural uses. However, I wouldn't consider making a Dem for use in Trainz a small favor. You are talking many hours of work in my opinion.

I agree that many hours of work would be needed.

You could argue that the TransDEM user could just create a route for the requestor consisting of a huge chunk of terrain, then email the .cdp file and let the requestor delete what they don't want. Of course, this would result in a route too big to save as a .cdp file, not to mention too big to email. So, there would have to be a lot of back-and-forth communication between them. Now finally, they agree on the needed terrain and the .cdp file is emailed. But now the requestor emails the TransDEM user and says "I was expecting you to include the X mountain range as background so could you re-do it?"

You can see where this is going.

Why not buy your own copy of TranzDEM? It isn't expensive and you could produce as many terrain maps (and more) as you desire.

It's not a violation mate, I have shared dem maps and have a few Australian maps on the DLS

Please only share/upload your own work. There is this "Threshold of originality" concept in copyright law. Clicking a few buttons in TransDEM will hardly suffice for this threshold.
