That aerial view of Denton looks a lot like the little towns along my route.

Where did you get the old vehicles?

I know there are quite a few 3D models of vehicles of all sorts online, so I'm...

This is what I'm shooting for as well.

I wish we had the ability to upvote posts. I've gotten a lot of valuable assistance so far.

Thanks for the replies, both of you. :)

One follow-up:

If I bump up the resolution, do I need to edit the .s or .sd files as well?

I've downloaded several of the buildings in the file library, and have poked around their contents.

The building textures seem to be mapped to portions of an included ACE file, and I'm wondering...

This site has signal configurations for a variety of north central railroads, but not the Milwaukee Road specifically (despite the page's title): ...

This turned out to be the case.

The Dakota division route profile book also includes the Milwaukee Road's mainline, and I was able to find signal notations there.

I'm not sure how to read them,...

Sorry I keep adding new topics...

As I'm rebuilding a stretch of abandoned route, all of the signals are long gone.

What resources--if any--are there for recovering the original signal...

Random anecdote remotely connected to that route from Sioux City to Sioux Falls: L.G. Everist, a large aggregate mining outfit runs a railroad along that route (the Dakota and Iowa) and owns most of...

Hey,

So the Milwaukee Road route that I'm working on terminates in a small yard in Rapid City that has a single track at the west end that connects with the old CNW (now RCP&E) yard.

My...

Hi,

I've written a script that converts MSTS world files into KML and ESRI shapefiles that can be used in other GIS apps, as well as uploaded to the USGS National Atlas download client.

It is...

Here's an update...

So, the .5M USGS geoTIFFs are embedded in a UTM grid which DEMEX does not recognize (when you load one of these geoTIFFs in DEMEX, it reads the easting & northing as longitude...

I actually have your Milwaukee Road section from Mobridge west! (Did you know 'Mobridge' is actually named after the Milwaukee Road's bridge over the 'mighty Mo'?)

In fact, the 1998 Dakota...

I started posting over in the forum for Goku's route editor, and after a bit of a learning curve, I think I've got a pretty good workflow figured out and I'm enjoying the route construction process...

I'm an inveterate tinkerer, and I honestly don't mind fiddling with stuff to get it to work.

I still joke about wanting to buy an old British car so I'll always have something to fix on the...

So ... it took me until earlier this afternoon to realize that I don't need to use the "Load Heights" tool in TSRE5.

And because TSRE5 is MSTS compatible, I could create a route in TSRE5 and then...

I actually went poking around in the TSRE5 source code and found a couple files (geotiff.h & geotiff.cpp) that suggest that functionality was at least anticipated for files covering 1 degree square,...

Hey all,

So the instructions worked, but I learned a few things trial-and-error that I'm going to post just in case they haven't been written down anywhere else:

1) If you right-click on any of...

Hey Matt,

Thanks for the response. However, I get a 'no files match your search criteria' error when I click on that link.

Web programmer note: It seems that the forum software does not create...

Side note: I probably shouldn't be too surprised by the use of the SD Capitol, seeing that the article was written by someone at the EROS data center which is just a few miles north of my current...

Hi,

I've been experimenting with both MSTS and TSRE, and I'm in a bit of a quandary.

TSRE seems much easier to use, but it also seems to be hardwired to use the SRTM datasets. However, the USGS...
