Marias Pass Two

[buzz456]

What they are going to get from me when we get it is to install Mad Mike's Empire Builder from the great days of the Great Northern Railway.

So "re-worked" to me means that we will get these locos back as DLC when they are "Quick Drive" ready.

Making a Quick Drive blueprint takes about two minutes. There's nothing special about making a loco QD-ready. You just make a QD blueprint, with references to the XML blueprints of each vehicle asset in the consist, give the entire consist a name, and put in a few details for the valid period and routes to which the consist applies.

Mike. Do you think you could write a little bit about how to do it? I've wanted to know that for some time now!

[buzz456]

If you decide to do this Mike please make a new thread. I'm sure many of us would love to see this.

The WIP screenshots are looking really sweet! Way to go Derek! I'm looking forward to the release of the route later this year!

RW-Tools has a function for that.

This is what is frustrating me about the re-release of the Gtrax stuff. Adding QD is not much of an update, and yet if you have the original Gtrax GS-4, even though it is in the same folders as the new one, Steam doesn't recognize you as having it, limiting your use of it in Workshop scenarios, for instance.

Two more pictures. I wonder if it is still being released in Q1 of 2013.

I hope not, I don't want this route to be rushed at all!

Hopefully it wont be like Donner, but still I cant wait! I remember playing Marias Pass on MSTS a few years ago!

From the photos looks like they used a lot of stuff from Sherman. I'd suppose it should be up to the standards of Sherman Hill. Trees and shrubs resemble Donner's, so you can go from there. It's what I see anyway.

[imphantum]

The tracks look alot like Donner's. I wish they'd use the scalerail type of track that they used for Sherman.

It is looking good in the pics. Sure brings back my old MSTS days!

Ahhhh, I cant wait, I think this will be the best route yet.!!!

Looks very promising. !
