    How to use Topo Maps in Trainz by colorado71 A. USING OF GLOBAL MAPPER 1. Configuration of Global Mapper Install Global Mapper on your computer. Download custom_shaders rar from http://trainz.uv.ro/tutorial/files/custom_shaders.rar Unpack the archive and copy the file custom_shaders.txt in the installation folder of Global Mapper. Run Global Mapper and select the option spectrum_trainz from "shader" bar on the program's tool bar. 2. Georeference your topo map Select the map (scanned map, satellite image, topo map etc.) you want to reproduce in trainz. You must know the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of two points on it, so you can georeference it with Global Mapper. From the File Menu of Global Mapper select "Rectify (Georeference) Imagery" click OK and select your image. Open it and the dialog box "Image Rectifier" will appear. Zoom the image over the first point of which coordinates you know, select it, insert its latitudinal and longitudinal position as __/__/___ (for example 21/38/45) and press "add GCP to list." Proceed in the same manner with the second point. Save the image as GeoTIFF. 3. Select your future trainz map a) Open the map thus created with GlobalMapper. From the File Menu select "Export Raster and Elevation Data" - "Export GeoTIFF." In the dialog box which appear select "Export Bounds" and press "Draw a Box." Select the area of your future trainz map and save it as GeoTIFF. b) From the File Menu select "Download Online Imagery/Topo/Terrain Maps" (or simple open the DEM map for the area of your image map). Select the server from which you want to download the digital elevation map (http://seamless.usgs.gov/ or http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/ for example) and then press OK. From the File Menu select "Export Raster and Elevation Data" - "Export DEM," then select "Export Bounds" in the dialog box, and finally, press "Reset to Last Exported Bounds." B. USING OF MICRODEM 1.

Signals? - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  •  
    You don"t appear to be listening Lengo if I can say so without being rude.If you have a piece of track from A to B you need 1) a red trackmark at B to tell the AI driver where to drive to.Past the trackmark you need Buffers/Railends to define the physical limits of the track and reassure the driver it is safe to drive to Tackmark B.Between A and B you need at least 3 signals (any type) to let the driver know he can do more than 18 MPH.Less than 3 signals and he will stick to 18.An AI driver (like a real train driver) needs to know a) where the line ends b) what signalling system is in use c) where those signals are d) what the speed limit is.

    OMAHA (April 2) - Preserving the environment for future generations, says Union Pacific, is a responsibility UP and its employees embrace. That explains, in part, why the company has been the leading innovator in developing hybrid locomotive technology, improving the fuel efficiency of its locomotives to the point where they can move one ton nearly 830 miles on a single gallon of diesel fuel. Employee programs contributed to saving 58 million gallons of diesel in 2008.

[eg; C:\Program Files\Auran\TS2009\TRS2006.exe - Make sure you save the file with a .exe extension and NOT a .txt extension][2] Open TrainzMap

Copy Driver Commands to another Consist - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • I have these commands and I use them on one route, as the basic concept should have been "default built-in" in my view. Yes, you only get the single icon - until it is used, and then it expands to the commands you are copying. But any command you have that are "specialised" like, I use "movetoloco" - these are kept to the original, so you'd have to change to what you need. Hope you understand what I'm saying as I'm not sure that I do!!! Chris
  • If you use Move to train at trackmark the commands will go with the driver. Ive used this a lot for placing the driver from one task to another with a different train. __

AI Sorting yard. How? - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • Hi PikeWake, Yes it is possible so long as you have enough patience, it will take quite a lot of commands. Extra commands you will need are "Couple At Trackmark" kuid 57145 81100 "UcouplezFrom" kuid 66277 80005 "Uncouplez" kuid 66277 80000"Hornz" kuid 66277 80001 You will also need trackmarks on each siding both the pick up sidings and the drop off sidings and one on the main exit line.
  • Bill69 has already said what is needed. You need to add to the track two trackmarks, one at the buffer end (not to near the buffer as the buffer stop will effect it) and one just inside the junction. Do this for each spur and name the trackmarks (say 101B at buffer end and 101J for junction end). Commands would be :- couple at trackmark 101J uncouplez from two couple at trackmark 102J uncouplez from four couple at trackmark 103J uncouplez from six drive to trackmark 001B uncouplez Then repeat the above using the names of the next spur.

Splitting a train automatically - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • Ive been doing this for years, dont use a trigger as another train can sometimes set it off. You need a spare driveable asset (I use a car parked in the station car park), it will need a driver which you set up with all the commands for the tasks he will do as the second train. You need two trackmarks at each end of station named say P1 Dn and P1 Up. You will need the commands Post Message and Wait for Message and clear also the move to train at trackmark. Dont use move to train as the commands dont go with the driver. Add to the start of spare drive the command Wait for Message.

Splitting a train automatically - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • If you have your train drive to a trackmark and uncouple. The first section then departs via a trigger. A spare engine is parked in a siding and when the trigger is activated its driver moves to the remaining part of your train and then drives it in accordance with the instructions you have already input for him. i.e Main train has instructions similar to.. Drive to trackmark, Uncouple from, Drive to London. Spare engine has instructions similar to ... On trigger move to unit x. Drive to Bristol.. This should also work in reverse so that you can re-couple the two sections of your train and return the spare driver to the spare loco.

  • Starting on page 34 there is "Tutorial 1: Using the TransDEM Trainz Exporters" which gives you step-by-step instructions to create a Trainz route from the DEM and map data, including the "track-laying" option.
