Apologies for the bump; MSTS shots are hard to come by nowadays, and since this is a flashback post these are indeed MSTS screenshots.

Ten years and a day ago, I debuted Gump Transit, my first...

Ten years ago today, Full Bucket Line 1225 turned her wheels for the first time since the age of steam and made her maiden voyage on the Bucket Limited. Ever since then, she's represented both the...

What they said!

Ten years ago to the day, I announced on TrainSim that I was "rather pleased" with a new repaint I did of Dick Cowen's USRA 4-6-2, as I would have obviously worded it back then....

Ten years ago to the day, I decided to press the Print Screen button while running some UP steam on the good ol' FBL. Ten years of my first ever MSTS screenshots.

That is an unbelievable model, Scott. Is that coming out soon?

My first MSTS repaint hit the double digits today. Wow. Even if MSTS isn't my forte anymore, it's crazy to think how far I've come since then and how it's affected me outside of the sim.

Glad to hear you didn't need to wrack your brain over cleaning up any scraps. Always nice when the wild goose chase is over and you can proudly look upon your repaint and run it in the sim.

You guys are making me want to get in on this too! Hearing all this made me think of the Denver, Laramie, & Northwestern, which was initially planned to directly connect Denver and Seattle and pass...

That might be a shadow painted onto the textures. You can just paint that right off. I don't know what painting tools you use, but the clone stamp/heal tools in GIMP and the content aware tools in...

Helps a lot, Steve! I imagine it wouldn't be hard to draw up some rough maps after doing a bit of homework. Ever since I made this post, I generated terrain for the route with some fitting areas to...

Could you post a picture? Considering it's not in the sim, it could be a texture you could just paint off.

Is this in the sim or part of the shape?

Do the FA textures in the ACE file use alpha? If not, you could alpha out those textures and make sure the FA accepts alpha and the main shape doesn't.

I started a fictional tourist railroad nine years ago. By started, I mean painted a bunch of rolling stock several times over and made a flat pool table in the Route Editor which got sucked into...

Ditchlights would be fairly easy to create and add for those with a bit of 3D modeling experience, but there are also some Geeps on the file library with ditchlight FAs such as is_gp38_set.zip....

I've always been a Louis Armstrong guy.

Just hopped on here to see when I created an account and found this first thing. Really sad news, Frank was a huge name back when I was around. Green signals.

What everyone else is saying pretty much. What's so nice about it is that it's so generic just about anything west of the Mississippi and south of Yellowstone would fit. I always followed The Full...

Understood. That was the only site I could find, but it would be better just to not get them at all in that case. I personally would never support anything that user publishes.

How exactly do you randomize the sounds? Which soundset are you using?

The life and detail in the towns is simply immaculate. The level of detail in the towns is something I haven't seen in many of the other routes I've run. The garage sale, the fisherman, the motel;...

Love it! My only suggestion is to lighten up everything below the running boards.

Are some of the sounds not working, or are the SMS files not being read? Check to make sure you didn't make any typos in the sound lines in the ENG files.

So long, and thanks for all the blanks.

If you don't mind watermarks, the N&W Historical Society has some great ones.
