Hi to all,

Has someone else noticed missing tracks at Marble Rock where it meets with the Rock Island?



Thanks

What version of the global tsection are you using?
You may need to update it.

How do you install it?

[derekmorton]

Copy it to the global folder.

Hi Denis,

I read your post and looked at the route again. I noticed that the missing track elements belong to the USTracks package that Norbert Rieger built. These were missing from the global folder I supplied, which contains the USTracks. You can download the USTracks package from the German website the-Train.de. I am also putting together a small update package. But that won't be until next week at the earliest.

Thanks for the info,

Hi Malte,

Found out that I have downloaded and saved years ago an extensive DB & US tracks files in my MSTS storage folder (DB tracks 2.0 Beta and US tracks Beta 1.0 folders). I have US1 & US3 folders with shapes inside each folder.

Can you tell me the specific missing shape files by its name. I will look up in all my zip files to locate it and install.

Thanks

Denis

Hi Denis,
The following shapes are necessary:

US3r_a1t10mStrt
US3r_a1t20mStrt
US3r_a1t90mStrt
US3r_a1t100mStrt
US3r_a1tEndPnt10dLft

Fortunately, there are no more.

That's just a fraction of the USTracks that Norbert produced. There were dozens of RAR files available, including US3r rusty tracks, with multiple sets of turnouts for rusty tracks diverging from shiny track, shiny track diverging while the through movement becomes a rusty track, etc. Add to that options for hard shoulder, ballast between tracks, etc., etc. But the real gems in all of Norbert's work was the turnouts, exquisitely fine work. Look for a file US3_Pnts.rar

Yep, I've got the full collection myself -- it's 30 separate files that I know of, and sum total is ~364Mb zipped.
