Route build?

[BlueLight]

Will the engines and rolling stock be included in the route package?

Add some orange stripes on the nose of the red SD40-2, like how MRL has their stripes. I think that would look good on it and give it that thing its been missing.

[thecanadianrail]

Looks great! And for the stripes, do multiple versions to show different stages in the railroads life in how they changed the scheme a little bit every once in a while. kinda like how BN changed their scheme every once in a while. (white stripes, tiger stripes whiteface etc...)

Looking good so far! For best results on trackside scenery going beside a forested area, place the large grass assets along the track. It really makes a big difference and its fairly easy on a fairly level route like this one.

Observation and tip, rather than a critisism.

When you're using block assets for trees shove one over the top of the other using a different type of tree, and maybe a third one too.

Also. Change the height setting in the r-h flyout to something like 0.8-0.95. This gives you a sets of trees that are of differing heights, but different for each asset block.

Also. Mess about with the density numbers, so you have a couple at, say, 2500 and a contrasting one at 750 (or whatever).

Makes a massive difference.

Alternatively ignore me and carry on.

Would love to see a preview video running the route so far of how much is completed.


Also I'll be updating the houses and the buildings soon to have better textures so it might be a bit before I can have anything new ready, but I'll try some though.

The river scene looks great!

I just got an error that says something bad has happened and now I cant get railworks to open because steam says its already running. What do i do????

Restart the computer and then turn it back on, the same happens to me and usually by restarting the computer that fixes it.

[thecanadianrail]

ANOTHER SBHH!!! You serious????
How do I avoid this???

Delete all scenarios for the route. I have had this problem a few times, its usually a loco or freightcar not loading right permanently and crashing the game.

I just got in the habit of saving every 5 minutes....

Don't forget to do some versioning.
If you always save to the same file and it gets corrupted, you may lose everything.

An easy way is to just copy the whole route folder every night to a different location using Windows explorer, and then rename the copy to something like "My route 22-05-2013"
