Kind of surprised this wasn't made a topic in this part of the forum unless it's mentioned or located elsewhere.. But this is quite intriguing. The bridge span already has me sold. Cannot wait to experience this route.

Thanks.

Very interesting thread. Can't wait to get the route in my collection.

This route may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I will take it with 2 lumps and milk. In my opinion I think it is great. !!*ok*!! *!!thnx!!*

This is a GREAT route. Many many hours of enjoyment here.
*!!thnx!!* for bringing this to us. I'll have a little add on ready here shortly to make this a little less generic.
!*cheers*!

Fantastic work on this. Really captures the feel of the period.

Anyone experiencing this on the reefers? Only shows up on the sunny side, not in shadow. Had a good look in RWTools but nothing obviously missing (though clearly something is!)

I just checked mine and they don't look like that. Missing texture or video settings perhaps?

Considering this - as everyone knows I am interested in transit/tram (streetcar) type operation, but the usual caveats apply particularly for a full price purchase:

How realistic are the physics on the interurban trams and locos?

Are the assets within the route easily useable on a freeware project that could make use of them - i.e. individual components rather than complete items?

Still, kudos to DTG for finally recognising there is a market outside of London commuter routes and North American heavy haul freight.

Yah know strangest thing. I had the same problem as you...or so I thought. Went back just now to check and some how, some way its fixed. I changed nothing.
Sorry that is not much help but maybe its just a fluke?

You're not hallucinating -- I've seen that,too. Usually indicates a missing texture.

Thanks for getting back Buzz, Jerry & Tom.

Had a real root around in the file structure looking for misnamed or missing textures - nothing missing. Everything appears to be there and in place.

I am going to swap out with some off the RWA Lakeside variations of reefers, but they all appear to be steel rather than wood. Can fiddle around with textures on renamed steel reefers to see if I can eliminate the problem (or maybe a patch idc.)

Tried variations of graphic settings with no change - plus updated drivers. All to no avail.

A couple of shots to show that the reefers look pretty well ok from the shady side and at an oblique angle...any more suggestions from anyone?

(slight problem with the trucks on the rails - or off :D )

Although this is shown in DTG DLC Development & WIP I think it's a G-Trax route just released thru DTG.

The inner part of the route from San Francisco to the end of the street running sections seems quite good but when you hit the countryside it's a bit plain and the old style trees don't help.
