Thank you for working on the water troughs.
But wouldn't it make more sense to use the existing ACleanTrack2.ace from the EUROPE1 route and place the mapping on it? This still ensures that the tracks only need to be replaced in the global folder.
Edit: The image shows the original Kuju tracks with new textures.

I can do a substitute piece using acleantrack2, but it would only that would work only with the Europe 2 route or anyone who thought to include the water in that portion of the texture. Everyone else will see ballast in the trough, and that's not a desired outcome.
Using the environment variable textures will work with any route.If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, items saved in our library or the ongoing development of our TSRE Fork, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating....

Here is the result in the EUROPA1 route with default-track-ATrack, the new watertroughs and new textures.

Just for fun... I'm downloading a couple India routes to see how it holds up.
Pretty darn well, actually.... This is RailIndia aka Deoli aka Patna-Calcutta-Puri Route ( https://www.trainsim.com/forums/file...e?bundle=83653 )
Aside from the dynamic track (I failed to install the TrackProfile subfolder and STF file to the route), I think this looks fairly good.
As for the route... it could just as easily be in China or the Northeast Corridor...
My only misgiving on the replacement tracks are the slip switches. This appears to be a modular slip, and I'm not really sure what could have been done with three separate pieces overlapping each other.Last edited by eric; 02-09-2024, 01:16.If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, items saved in our library or the ongoing development of our TSRE Fork, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating....

That looks very good. Only the legs in the outer radius are a little too long. I've already tried to say that here.

I love the new track work, but I have a problem with how the textures are handled.
Here's my acleantrack2,

How it shows on the original shapes.
How it shows on the new shapes.
Is this the way it's going to stay or do you have more work to do?

Jan, I understand what you're saying and could rework the track geometry to match what you've shown, but then the wheels on the bogies would not track correctly because the sim follows the TSection geometry, not the physical shape....
Randy, nothing is set in stone. I'll take a third look at the mappings.

Some shots from Grand Cayon Route using the AClean version of the new tracks and textures. Seems the X-tracks and dynamic tracks use the ACleantrack2 texture differently. ( not sure which is which ) otherwise looking good.

I have noticed this same issue on some other routes that have a bit of mixtures of dynamic tracks.
And honestly, I know this is harsh, but that route becomes deleted. With X Tracks, US Tracks, DB Tracks, Scalerail, and M Tracks being in play that give us tons of options to work with, and the creator still insists on using DT, the route will be sidelined for another, where the creator puts time and effort to make the best results possible. Personally, Seans routes from TS are top of the line when it comes to this, and from what I gather, so isn't the FRC and the Sherman Beta route from 3dtrains was there as well.
However, getting away from acleantrack completely with these update track files Eric is very kind on producing, helps tremendously. I haven't noticed many issues with the DT reflecting back with the USTrack textures as it does with the AClean track textures. Could be something Kuju decided was necessary with their oddball designs.-Shawn K-

Geary, did you update the TrProfile.stf in the individual route folder?
I have the same route installed but don't see what your screenshots have.... I even turned on super-elevation to force DT to render.

Also from what I see, I have Super Elevation off, as it is set to 0 in the options. ( using ver 1.4 )Owner and CEO of Hart Rail Lines & Hart Commuter Railways, and Hart Rail Cars.
