Soldier's Summit Route released

[Antwerp]

Come on now Buzz and gtw5812, we've got enough to worry about without you two trying to kill each other.

Enjoy the game as it is.

Just a question about Helper yard - not certain about the era, but is there a engine workshop missing from the middle of the yard, along with diesel tanks etc. Fairly easy to add something generic, but before I do would like to make sure.
Great route BTW!

Silly question, but, which Helper Yard are you referring to, the one on the right, looking North, or, the one on the left ?????

Haven't got the route open at the moment, so not certain which, however I have answered my own question. The engine shed has been modeled and is under Industrial Objects as SS Engine Shed. Track doesn't look right at that point but seems they might have forgotten to place the structure.

Was looking for it as I spent a lot of time at this spot in Streamline Products MSTS version of Green River Sub Route (which starts at Helper and heads in the other direction!)

For reference purposes only - you can see it in the background;




Edit!

It appears in the photo half way down the article on Tunnel Motors - strange...I thought it was further away...

is it all double tracked?

I haven't go to the end yet but so far the answer is yes.

I looked to see if SS could be available as a separate add-on but from what i can find, it looks like you have to buy Epic Journeys to get it.

So you get three for the price of one. What's the problem?

Ran the first Amtrak scenario and have bright blue distant mountains and missing track side speed signs ( show on ribbon though). Wonder if I had a bad download or an incorrect setting? Scenario starts at Provo.

Just run the same scenario for half an hour and no bright blue distant mountains or missing speed signs - possibly bad d/l or your settings?

Really liking this route...good price (even if you have the other 2 routes already) for the quality and the stock provided.

Hmmm, I'm in Provo at the moment and all my mountains are blue, however, I've got my freeroam scenario set at 8.00 am in the morning, I don't know if the sun has anything to do with it, I can't really see which side it's on, I've only just started experimenting with everything, now that I've run the whole route up from Helper, which is definately a ghost town, I thought I was on different layout when I got up to Provo, it's so built up with residential areas, roads, grade crossings, industrial areas and lots of trackage and a few industries to do some switching in, it's absolutely wicked.......

Found the issue. Had the view distance too low. Must have missed this when getting the new computer.

[buzz456]

1:30 PM start time but the mountains are certainly not blue.
Provo, Utah.

What happened to all the stuff with distant terrain textures?

[buzz456]

I am not totally familiar with editing QD. I find it strange that all the trains are running empty. How do I get the coal cars loaded going westbound?

What stuff are you referring to?

So far all I've seen is people saying you get three for the price of one.. well if you only want one of the routes and have no desire for the other two, why waste space on your computer storing two routes you're not even going to play? Train Simulator already has enough problems with missing assets and having to verify cashe all the time that some people don't want to add to the cluster of files. Just my , I already know yours.

Well some of us might not want a German Route or British Route.


I would love to have all three but i wanted to see if the route came standalone as-well so you could By-Pass the glitch in the pack.
