Australian screenshots

Hi all. Just in case anyone else has this problem, and after searching the forum, thankfully i'm not the only goose, this might help. With windows 8.1, firstly you should be in directx, then you need to press the windows key + FN + Prt Sc. That is how you get the shot to appear in the screenshot. It will only come up as a black image in MSpaint or similar.
Just thought this might help others, like myself who are new to this, that might strike this problem.
Cheers,
Baz.
AND, if you are in Windows i7 using TS12, its Ctrl + PrtScn .... THEN your screenshot appears in C:\Program Files (x86)\N3V Games\TS12\UserData\Screenshots

Hi everyone, looks like Baz has sorted out his screenshot issue going by that great shot of the grainy. Also loving the new gear from Australian Trainz Division, keep up the great work guys.

Hello all. Ive risen from the dead!
Would anyone know where I can get the font for the Victorian Railways numberplates. I have seen the plate numbers on some of the stock thats going around the DLS and I am very picky about numbers. I may do a custom font for mere pleasure. I am in the process of reskinning a few engines and I am looking for the font.
Cheers.

Didn't even hear that you had died LOL.
What route is that one Tom ?, Looks pretty cool with those grain wagons sitting there.
Cheers Mick.
I have no idea what you're saying but do you realize each VR locomotive class available has the texture for that particular letter + numbers 0-9 in it?

Lol... didn't even realise you had even gone!
I thought the font looks perfect on the locos that are available on the DLS.

A few screenshots of V499 arriving at, and then departing from, Beetoomba. \
Honestly, there isn't one. The VR had it's own set of drawings for number plates, but the patterns were handmade by the workshops and hence could vary to a degree between members of the class (or on the same member if it had different types of plates in different spots), and over time. Sometimes it's not a big change, other times it could be. For my stuff, I trace over photographs of the number plates to create the 'base' number set, and then adjust them as necessary to fit the plates.
For the T class I used a fair variety of windows fonts to get 'near enough' numbers, but they weren't always that close. These days I use a set of traced numbers, as mentioned above, to form the number plates. Some of the older VR assets on the DLS may either have very basic alpha number textures (you could replace these with higher resolution or more accurate numbers if you wanted to, but they may not sit perfectly on the model depending on how they were setup in GMax/3DSmax), or may have 3D numbers (which cannot be changed).
Regards
Zec

The 1 in those textures is not like the ones you'd see on plates, the VR plates had a 1 just like: l . For Example: R76l (I know it doesn't look right but you get the idea)
Thanks Zec. Time for me to get some photos of numberplates to trace.
Cheers.
Looking through some TS2010 routes I had downloaded ages ago and I found NSW North Coast by Pgibbons. I always liked how the Australian countryside had been captured and so today I uploaded it into T:ANE. Most of the textures are still fine and with a bit of tweaking on the sliders, I took these screenshots.
A long distance shot just south of the border.

Freight Australia G combo hauls some steel towards the Qld border
I did a swap and used two QRN LDP Class DownerEDI to takeover the steel haulage.
