Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update - be well - sir!

Hi Folks,

Goku had mentioned in passing in a post on Elvas that someone had figured out a way to use or convert Geotiffs for use in TSRE. In the same thread I asked him for more details - he...

Hi Folks,

If unfamiliar - try Erick Cantu's public domain freight car sounds.

Hi Folks,

Yeah - I had looked up the DNS record - it shows expired on the 5th of April. I'm sure there must be some grace period to renew.

Hi Folks,

Looks like Marc's domain expired - not a good sign.

Hi...

Sorry - you can't really remap a model without the source code to the 3D model.

Hi Folks,

Yeah - for whatever reason - that Mike Bednar is the most enjoyable narrator ever - for train videos - his voice is perfect for it and it just fits with the era.

Hi,

Hah - glad it's a good one - it looks nice - yep - it sounds like we've seen some of the same textures.

Hi Folks,

With brick textures in general - suggest lower the contrast and add mipmaps - bricks are our worst Moire offenders.

Hi Folks,

Yeah - this is a bit of an experiment for me. I've been looking at this route from a modeler's perspective and it's quite amazing. The vast number of high-quality models included in this...

Hi Folks,

Dabbling on the dark side.

Hi Andrew,

Your shots give me a new appreciation for Big Blue. You've managed to make a bright sunny day look like a bright sunny day - much the same how I run my sim - I'm assuming that's...

Hi Sean,

Messing with Mullens a bit lately - with a new TimeTable I found - please stay away from using massive "transfers" on mountain sides like you did in Mullens - lower resolution TERRTEX...

Hi Joe,

Exactly what I needed - worked like a champ - thanks much!

Hi Joe,

Thanks so much - I'll take a look.

Hi Paul,

Just to be more clear - I created the Terrain Mesh in my image with Geotiff's and DEMEX.

Hi Paul,

The printed on 2D maps with roads and tracks are handled internally by TSRE. I don't even know where TSRE is downloading them from - probably some Open Source street map application.
...

Hi Paul,

Sounds good.

Super Easy:

[F3]
Click on [Load Map] to highlight button.
Click on desired tile - new map dialog opens.
Click on [Load] to download map for that tile.

Hi Paul,

My intentions are to use TSRE and “Load Maps” for all the tiles - instead if markers. While much of the LHR track has been torn up - whatever map source TSRE uses has a track line on it...

Hi Andrew,

Thank you kindly - sir.

Hi Paul,

Yep - completely understand - I've ran Rich's LHR probably more than any other route. I've been tinkering with it for years - added terrain and track down to Easton. It's just at the...

Hi Paul,

This is my endless tinkering with the LHR. I took the time with Rich's LHR - to mod the route to make sure I had added enough tiles for both normal tiles and DM tiles to insure that the...

Hi Folks,

Question - where is the quadtree stored? I'd like to take the quadtree from one route to start a new route - so it creates the same tiles as the original - without any content. A blank...

Hi Folks,

More (4) Packs on the way - unique numbers - individually weathered:

Hi David,

At this point nothing else would make any sense for someone trying to learn how to model. Gmax, TSM, and 3DC are still used but discontinued and will never be updated. Blender has the...
