Hi spec5sx,

Are the WANG textures that you use allowed to be redistributed?

Yes. As a matter of fact, I'm making the source files public. You can download them from here.

@lamanorbu

Thanks for pointing out those problems. I'm working on a small update right now for the finished part of the route that will hopefully do away with those issues. should be out in a few days.

Thank you very much mate!

I drove truck through the area modeled here many times, have ridden the 'Coast Starlight' Amtrak™ twice on the route, and vacation in the area often and am impressed how well it has been represented.

One note for John though: The city of Crescent is spelled with a 'c' not two esses. We used to snow machine in the area, and went to Crescent and a Bar/Restaurant called Manley's that had wonderful fried chicken and some genuine home made chili.

I still need to get the track issues resolved, but flying over the route has shown how well you have done so far. Please keep it up!

hi

I found this video .... this part of the road is impressive

j'ai parcouru la route de Crescent Lake à Oakridge sur Railworks et même en regardant sur Google Earth le tracé que vous avez fait est très réaliste .... j'ai hâte comme beaucoup de fan de pouvoir parcourir cette partie une fois finie ....

Interesting video. Thanks for posting. Also for note: The location known as the "Cascade Loops" on Willamette Pass is where a giant mud slide came down across the UP tracks. Here is a link to a PDF from the construction firm that helped clean up(It's also a Trains Magazine article): http://robinsonconstructiongroup.com/Fi ... fa0e8c1334

I'm loving this route. I'm slowly adding a little to the scenery and replacing signals with the new searchlight signals from SMMdigital.

Riko1605: Oh my French is bit rusty, but I understand. Thank you for bringing back the French language back to my mind.

Chessie8638: Interesting article with nice photos. Thank you for the find.

Hi

Very impressive work done. One of the first routes that I just wanted to look to the side to watch the detail pass by.

I did notice one "problem" that I think isn't a problem and is easily fixable.

After installng the assets pack I had a look with the RW Package Manager. The Tree View showed the Wilberton-Stockton-Scenery-animated and a lot of the NZTSWS buildings in Red.

The fix was to drill through those Assets and Capatilize the directory names (first letter) of those showing in red.

Example for the animated error - renaming to Animated removed that error. The NZTSWS stays as is.

Thanks for allowing us to see and use what you have completed so far with this excellent route. It is a winner already IMHO!

I don't want to appear unpolite, but what happened to this fantastic route?

Yes, any news about progress John? I really don't want this route to stop at the current location.
There is so much more amazing up the line.

[spec5sx]

The thread lives!
I'm working on an extension of the line up to Chemult. That would be another 40 miles or so from where the scenery currently stops.
Numerous changes and fixes in the works also.

A quick screenshot of some new scenery:
