How about a thanks Rick and Company then start bitching about the problems?

[wopflyer]

I don't think he was bitching Buzz. Just pointing out a bad spot for the creators so that he/they know it is there. But yes, a huge thank you to Rick and Company for such a great freeware route is in order!



And to Mr. Artim, I hope your wife feels better soon. My 5 cats and I send our regards.

Thank you Rick & thank you Bob for posting despite the challenges!

Hello.

Thank you very much for this great route and the rolling stock included. Everything together is fantastic.

I was preparing to translate the scenarios into Spanish language, and when I also wanted to translate the route information in the Quick Drive menu, I found that it was without any content.

Best regards from Spain.

Buzz... if you look back at page 3 of this post, you'll find that I did thank Rick and company for bringing this route back. As for the "bad joint", I was merely pointing out a problem that I had discovered... as several others have done in this post with the prior version. As to why my problem post was considering "bitching", and the other posts pointing out issues weren't, that is something only you can answer.

Rick... thank you again for bring this route back. The Portland Terminal route has always been one of my favorites, and I'm glad to see it's back for others to enjoy. Please don't construe my post about the bad joint as anything but trying to point out an issue. Thank you again for your all your hard work not only on this route, but also for all the G-Trax products.

If I was too sensitive I apologize. I think Rick and the G-Trax crew have given so much to us I might be a bit protective of their efforts.

Many thanks for the patch!

I uploaded patch v0.2.1 which fixes the bump in the turnout in Rigby Yard and adds a Route Description HTML file. The patch is also available at the G-TraX site. The full route package is available for download from here at RWA only.

Speaking of cats...fixing the tracks on this route has been like herding them! You fix one thing and something else goes awry. In this case, the bump in the turnout was easy to fix, just adjusted one of the height gizmos, but I did so with some trepidation. Fortunately, none of the other tracks seems to have been affected this time.

Rick, thanks for all your hard work and great contribution.

I wanted to mention, there are 7 or 8 locations across the route where a siding is obstructed by a rogue stopblock (buffers). I have used the conventional way of fixing this (highlight track section, slide sideways, click "undo"), accepting that future updates will undo my work, but the ends of the sidings now have double stopblocks. Double stopblocks also seem to appear at the ends of most sidings in addtiion to those that needed fixing as escribed.

Checking these, I see there is some form of manaul stopblock at the end of the track (not the one that automatically installs with the track), distinguished by a rail that is quite black and different to the main track. So my first thought was to delete those extra "manual" stopblocks. But they are not selectable (therefore cannot be deleted), and I see no asset in the G-TraX/MaineMaritime assets folder that could relate to this asset.

Any thoughts?

Example picture below, but this occurs across multiple locations in the route

Since it's at the end of the track who cares?

Aesthetic Buzz, aesthetic!

Thank you for the patch Rick... and my compliments to the track gang out at Rigby!

I understand Buzz... and I agree about Rick's contributions to our community.

Regarding the issue of the tracks, keep in mind that there is a known bug with the tracks in the editor in 64 bits since the simulator was updated to TS2019, and DTG recommends using the editor in 32 bits while looking for a definitive solution.
Here is the post from the DTG forums where they recommend using the editor in 32 bits → https://forums.dovetailgames.com/thread ... post-53473

Best regards.
