I emailed Marc and received a reply. I'm going to pay him the fee.

Sean, thank you for offering me assistance. I already have track chart PDFs that come in handy. :) I had realized it's not going...

Not yet, Charles. I wouldn't release the route as payware without an agreement beforehand.

Hi all, just letting you all know that I have a SP Yuma Subdivision route in progress. It's been over two years since my last update. Last year, having inspired by the Mullan Pass route, I decided to...

I would love to see these in development, not counting my own projects:

SP SD40M-2 based on the SDP45
SP GP40P-2 (at least the 1990s ditch light version)
SP articulated wells or stack cars (as...

The tank was created with a cylinder. Since the prototype had unconventional pear-shaped ends, I had to round about 5/6th of the ends, with the remainder to be occupied by the bolsters and draft...

Hi Christopher,

You'd be a wizard if you could locate the blueprints! I had received a folio sheet, which is also found on the historical society's website. I also used my photos of a surviving...

After watching a series of tutorials on the last day of November, I decided to start building my first Blender model, which is based on a Santa Fe TK-L tanker. It may be a bit too advanced for a...

The Microsoft name and Windows logo on the top of the JP1malloffices.s shape in the Northeast Corridor route files.

Since it was difficult to make the cut at that spot, I decided to update the gradients of 40 miles or so of track and discovered that I laid one 0.50 or 0.60 mile segment uphill rather than downhill...

I don't remember the terrain's resolution in meters, but it is 1/3 arc second resolution. My particular issue is that I'm trying to have the track enter a cut on a downward grade. It keeps staying...

The cut or fill may not exist at the spot where the track is too high or low relative to the terrain. Or if above the ground, the height of the fill isn't close to the real fill's height at the spot,...

Hi, I have been laying tracks on DEMEX-generated routes. I follow gradients provided from track charts while laying tracks. Sometimes, if I lay tracks downhill, the track will be higher from the...

I have trouble correctly displaying aerial imagery on my route's distant mountain terrain in Open Rails.

I used the Mapbox API to download aerial imagery. I set terrain editing to "distant...

What is the track system used for the route? I thought there's 3d ballast in the pictures.

It works. I had to change the route name as well as the main directory in the settings file of the TSRE installation provided by TrainSimulations.net. The main window in TSRE is also big and it...

I have TSRE v0.6958. I cannot make it past the route select window because it's taller than my screen resolution (1920 x 1080) and the "Load" button is hidden from view. I cannot resize the window or...

I tried converting the tracks to US3 tracks. I'm missing the US3 tracks shapes for Xtracks turnouts like US3_a1pnt6drgtmnl.s and US3_a1pnt3drgtmnl.s.

I still wish to finish the route, but I have less interest due to real world activities and that I could have used Scalerails for the project. Converting the route to Scalerails may be problematic...

In that route those are CP_Trailers shapes originally used in Patrick Wise's Cajon Pass route.

I think the Geotiff files downloaded from Earth Explorer needs to be opened in a program called VTBuilder. Exporting it as a Geotiff under the "Elevation" menu will give you a file that works in...

Not recently, I reached the very western end of the route at the Los Angeles / San Bernardino county line, and also to the very eastern end beyond Yuma. There are more tracks and roads awaiting to be...

I'm working on the Southern Pacific Yuma Subdivision (Mid 1990s) route since September 2016. Also see https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showthread.php?327748-SP-Yuma-Sub-(The-Second-Project).

By faces, you're referring to the polygon primitives? I tried that and made four sided polygons on purpose, but I guess triangles are the only shapes that don't have the inverted angle issue. And one...

Here's your image. Note that the yellow point isn't seen in the rendering.

I used TSM many times without finishing a project, but I'm attempting to begin creating a truck/bogie for a dream freight car project. Over a scaled backdrop image I created tubes aligning on the x...
