During the time frame that I'm planning on modeling, that line was owned and operated by the Indiana Southern RR and so is outside the scope of the project. I'm not aware of any traffic on this line...

Which is ideal for 70 mph running!!! And with a grade crossing every mile (at a MINIMUM)... LOTS of horn action!!!!! :D

What if the earth were represented in true 3D as it is in Flight Simulator? This would avoid the projection issue entirely...

Will there be a way to choose from different map projections in OR, or perhaps to even use a true 3D earth?

One of my biggest complaints of all with MSTS is that the map projection causes...

Would it be reasonable for me to ask you to make this topic sticky? It will still be a little while before I start (still waiting for the OR route editor and terrain tools), but I was just...

After the Open Rails route editor is ready, I'd like to start a collaborative project to build a brand-new Conrail Indianapolis Division route from the ground up in order to take advantage of all of...

Hello everyone,

Bruce Bridges here. Some of you may remember me as the builder of the Conrail Indianapolis Line for MSTS.

I've been away from the hobby for quite some time due to a number of...

It would be so nice if there were a way to order reprints (or even just pdfs!) of specific articles... I get the feeling my wife isn't going to be a big fan of the idea of me going around and picking...

Where are some good sources of detailed prototype information suitable for modeling North American locomotives and freight cars? More than just overall lengths, but either plans (like those that...

One of my other hobbies in addition to trains is collecting 1:400-scale diecast airliners. These are done in limited runs (though the same airline and aircraft type might be re-released form time to...

I just looked in the F/L and it's still there.

Looks nice!!!

But I tend to prefer ribside cars without the ribs actually modeled in 3D (and just represented in the texture)... if you use photo textures, it can be disastrous if the ribs in the...

Are you guys planning on making any US content for this sim?

Yes, I remember those mirrored balls well, from my childhood in the 80s and 90s... they seemed to be all over the place in Anderson, Indiana and its suburbs. Green and blue seemed to be the most...

I'm trying to download newroads.zip from the file library. I've made five attempts, but each time, right as the download finishes, my anti-virus program says that the file contains adware and was...

I hope we can all come together and show them how awesome they would look and convince them to change their minds. I submitted my concept drawings (and MSTS screenshots) to a friend of mine who's a...

Yeah, that was one of my favorites too. I actually traced all of the lettering and numbers for that one by hand from photos because I couldn't find any fonts that were anything close to what I...

Where else around the system have you seen the heritage units? Post your...

A fix is now available in the file library for all MSTS users. I'm so sorry about this, but this was my first project with gmax and I was unaware of the restrictions on shape file organization.

Does anyone have any screenshots of the CSX Heritage Units in action? Please post them below...

I have uploaded a patch that fixes the shape file issue on my CSX Heritage ES44AH series. When using MSTS, you will now be able to see the freight animations.

I had no idea that thing with subobjects was even an issue, or how to get around it. Thanks for your help!

It has come to my attention that several individuals have not been able to get the add-on shape files for my CSX heritage ES44AHs to show up in MSTS, but only in Open Rails. The MSTS users are only...

Just do a find and replace and change MASTER to 3108. I am getting ready to go out of town for the weekend. When I get home I will put out a bug fix for that and any other issues that come up.

I've finished the CSX Heritage ES44AHs today, and they are on their way to the file library!

Here are the last five units in the series...
