F:\MSTS Stuff\Train Simulator\ROUTES

Hi:

I recently downloaded the MILW Coast Division Route off the File Library and while installing it, Windows Explorer gives me the following message when it tries to copy "carspawn.dat" to my...

I do understand the reason why OR doesn't model derailments. Some players might want to deliberately derail their train just for fun--something we DO NOT want to encourage. I haven't obtained OR...

Why WOULDN'T we want OR-exclusive content? OR has the capability to have custom physics parameters that Kuju overlooked or ignored. In MSTS, simulating anything not within Kuju's programmed...

If you want an illuminated interior, the secret is not "lighting" per se, but assigning parts to be "bright" textured instead of "normal." (It's been years since I've played MSTS, but I believe that...

How about operating feed valves? This way freight locomotives can be used as helpers in passenger service and vice versa. Previously, this kind of flexibility required two .eng (and tender .wag)...

Here's another idea--manual "transitioning" for early diesel-electric locomotives.

One thing is for sure, in general, I'd like to see them introduce new physics tokens that reflect what MSTS/Kuju had neglected or overlooked (especially in the steam department--not all steamers are...

Sorry, I think I got ahead of myself. Bottom line--given the difference in brake pipe pressure between passenger and freight trains, how can I give my locomotives flexibility for say, freight...

Thanks Ragtimer. Just one more question. Let's assume that the locomotive's Brake Cylinder needle will hit zero (or "peg") at 70 PSI. However, the brakes on the passenger cars will not release...

In the steam and early diesel eras, the train line pressures were 70 PSI for Freight and 90 PSI for passenger trains (since then they have been increased, of course). However, to allow for...

Do steam loco's have a "bail off" function (I know not in the sim, but in real life)?

Are you specifically referring to exterior or interior track sounds?

If you are referring to exterior track sounds, these streams do indeed exist, however, they are very faint in volume. Next...

Hello. After a hiatus of several years, I want to get back into train-simming.

One of the tasks I wanted to do was create my own cabviews. Unlike some perople, who simply take a photograph of the...

Hello.

What is your preference for steam locomotive cab views as far as the front view goes? Some people prefer a view from the engineer's (driver's) seat (forcing the firedoor to the left of the...

Another idea for steam engines in OR--

Differences in feedwater appliances. The injector is the most commonly used feedwater device on steam locos, but some use a pump with a feedwater heater,...

So... Is the coal load going to be a freightanim?

I love your little tutorial there. However, I was always told that when modelling a steam engine (physical or digital), the tender was a good place to start. I assume that the tender comes later,...

Hey y'all, I have a question. After reading Kalmbach Publishing's The Model Railroader's Guide to Freight Cars, I was wondering if retainer valves can be simulated in MSTS. Retainer valves are...

I am in need of some help with (simple-expansion) articulated exhaust sounds--I devised a method of creating sounds for both cylinders through FOUR "Power Cruise" streams on the front engine instead...

Maybe this will help:

Sorry to bump an old thread but--

Here is an interesting resource for anyone who is interested in working on the Troublesome Trucks or any other freight stock, as well as a guide to UK freight...

You have a point--I do not know what I was thinking with public distribution.

But there is one problem--EVEN IF this pack is "never-to-be-released" or even distributed in a non-public way,...

Here are my thoughts:

First off, ABSOLUTELY NO monetary gain is intended--this is strictly a freeware project (with 3 expansion packs planned!). There shouldn't even BE a concern that maybe...

There was an earlier attempt to make a route for the Polar Exprees for MSTS, but it never got off the ground.

I am asking for collaboration inquiries for the PE route. I know the holidays are 7...
