    Changing texture on Dynamic Track

    Where would I find the ace files to change the rail appearance & roadbed of
    Dynamic Track... I looked in global and route files but couldn't find it.

    Look for acleantrack1.ace and acleantrack2.ace in the texture folder of your route. There will also be snow textures in the SNOW subfolder.

      I know this is the location... what I need to know is how/where to access the dynamic track "root file" to change it to access
      the concrete textures I use as a secondary track on my route for a major mainline joining a branch line.

        Dynamic track shapes can only use the standard track textures. An alternative is to use Dynatrax to convert dynamic track shapes to static track shapes that can use alternate textures. You will find Dynatrax in the file library with the program in file dynatrax.zip and profiles in file ukfs_dytrx.zip

          The profile you want to use is "default.profile". It has exactly the same cross-section as default track. You could make a renamed copy like "Concrete.profile". Open it with WordPad or some such, and edit it to point to the track textures of your choice. Then make the conversion.

            Hi Charlie,
            Where would this default.profile be found?
            I searched the entire \Train Simulator folder and all sub-folders and came up empty. Thnx.

              It's in the "ukfs_dytrx.zip" that Jeffery mentioned. Drop it in the trainsimfiles\Dynatrax\profile folder.

              EDIT: When you start Dynatrax, it tries to phone home to look for more profiles. Since home doesn't exist now, just ignore that.

              For quickie tutorial:


              Pardon, but I made a bad mistake there. I composed that in MS Word and then pasted it in. A subsequent "forum software change" revealed all of the Word control characters, but I think you can still make out what I said.

              I won't do that again.

              regards,
              charlie
