Railworks America

Hello everyone, I am new to RWA, but found this site to be a awesome source for content and information, so I decided to join.

Anywho, I'm undertaking my 1st route build from scratch, but encounter a problem. I know where to get the DEM data I need to import, and have it. Problem is I have no STRM folder in railworks that every how-to thread has? Am I missing something? I have the Steam edition of TS2015. I thought about just "creating" the folder in the place its supposed to be and placing the .DEM files in there, but I was not sure if this would work.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

Idk how much time it will take me to get this route done, probably a while, but when it is done, I do plan on sharing it with you all. I plan on modeling the Mineral Range railroad in the U.P of michigan, where I live. So its a local prototype for me. Pretty excited about the project.

Thanks!

The Railworks folder is usually in your steam folder, check before Railworks, you should then find your steam folder.



C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\

In your railworks folder there should be a DEM folder. Inside that should be a STRM folder.

If I recall correctly, I had to create the SRTM folder within the DEM folder.

You might be right since I have 'stuff' in there.

You are correct. You do have to make your own STRM folder.

Thanks for the replies fellas. Problem is I checked, and I have neither the DEM or SRTM folder where they should be located? I can not seem to find them.

I gather it should be in the root of your railworks directory, so C:/programfiles(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/railworks and there should be a DEM folder? I don't have one. do I have to make this too?

I believe there was already a DEM folder in my TS installation, but i'm not sure. Give it a try and make a DEM folder, then make an SRTM folder inside.
