I'm doing some upgrade work on a German route, which uses DB3 tracks. I'm wanting to modify the tracks at certain places, but the first look in the Route Editor shows no DB3 track sections listed. ...

Does anyone have any experience with the Intel Iris Plus Graphics 955? I'm looking at a new mini-PC with this installed. Windows 11 (not too crazy about) small SSDs but replaceable with larger...

Interesting that you did that. I merged Surfliner 2 and Patrick Wise's Cajon Pass many years ago, and installed the Olive sub as well, just to see if I could do it. Worked out surprisingly well, so...

San Diego, CA, USA, English. I understand that sometimes the language barrier can be a small issue, but not something we can't work through.

I've gotten several requests for the stock and consists used in the route. All stock and consist files used in the Omura activities are default - they came with MSTS as part of the original...

Is there any 3-6 Japanese stock available anywhere? I've not been able to find any...

It was made using standard gauge track; when I started building the route there were no Japanese gauge tracks available (I don't know if there is now or not), and all the default Japanese stock in...

Good to know...

If anyone has been trying to contact me via email using the address in the readme file. be advised that I misspelled the address; there should be 3 "f"s, not 2. Or PM me here. Sorry for the...

If you will email me (my address is in the readme file), I'll send you a link to my Dropbox folder where you can download the consists.

Thanks, Daniel, for the kind comments. And thanks to those who have tried out the route. It was mostly a labor of fun, I enjoy creating a route, and while this route isn't particularly challenging...

Scott,

Tried the command line method, on 2 different computers, one W7 and a W10, got the same response on both; after entering the command line

I've been trying to upload my new route using Filezilla, and keep getting

Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity

Hi Joseph,

I was just looking around on here to try and determine whether you were still working with MSTS.


Can I ping on you offline with a problem I'm having with a set of signals I built...

Has anyone spoken with Joseph Hoevet recently? Did a search on here for recent posts, didn't find any. It's my understanding that he is no longer involved with this stuff, but just thought I'd ask....

The signal above the departing platform is a repeater, it simply displays the aspect of the next signal down the line. Horizontal lights indicate a red, or stop, vertical lights indicate a clear. ...

The incoming AI train will hold you up for about 10 seconds after departure, but it should have cleared well before you reach the 35 kph speed post. There is another AI train coming, but you should...

In the Seaside Rapid Service to Sasebo activity, there is an AI train incoming that has to clear, after which you will get a clear path leaving Nagasaki.

Hi Scott,

Yes, it's probably the same route you took, Sasebo to Nagasaki.

I rode the line in 2014 while working in Sasebo (Navy contractor) and visited Peace Park and its museum as well. Very...

I'm in need of a few folks to test my Japanese route, the Omura Line. PM me if you're interested.

Thanks,

Anybody have any sources for Japanese rolling stock, diesel or electric, other than the 1 or 2 in the library here?

I've been looking over the internet and haven't found any good links.

Thanks,

Solved the problem with help from one of the guys over at Elvas Tower. The problem was my .ace file. For some reason I had made up the alpha channel using dark gray for the alpha'd out areas...

I've made several catenary supports using TSM and TGATool2A. Note the differences in the .ace file view between MSTS and ORTS.

ORTS view

Any ideas as to why the...

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Yeah, that's what I remembered from my Surfliner days, sending files back and forth, removing the e.raw and n.raw files to make the uploads smaller; MSTS should re-generate the files when you open...
