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.

Not done it for quite a while but it is fairly easy Best thing is to goto trainzproroutes forum, check lars forum for the protolars manual. It's all to do with the properties i.e ? click on industry then in produce? make it EXTERNAL and link to industry you want to. Manual explains it better than I can . Paul

Yup its real simple! here are two tutorials to help ya out: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=2417 http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=3374 the latter is for imageshak however I suggest using photobucket.com but everyone has their own opinion. peter

if you search the forums for signal tutorial you will get a lot of posts http://forums.auran.com/trainz/searc...earchid=403204 have a look at this site http://www.signalbox.org/index.php

I'm a little biased, but if you want routes that look and behave in a reasonably prototypical way, try: Port Ogden & Northern (see the screen shotz in this forum). IndustRail. RiversideRailroadCompany. All are on the Auran Trainz Download Station, all will install without any missing dependencies, and there are sessions for all of them. Phil

That took just 10 minutes and less than 40 mouse clicks to generate it. It comprised SRTM DEM terrain and Map Tile ground texture overlay.

This is an old request. On the old forum i did a single route with twenty trains running around and around without conflicts. The easiest rule is not to put signals on the single track. Put a signal at the end of the loop before the train re-enters the single line. Set the junctions for trains to enter the loop in the direction of travel. UK Sample train drives along single track (no signals) the junction lever was set left at default so train enters left loop and encounters signal at end of loop. If another train is between that signal and the next, the signal will remain red until the train ahead clears the next signal or an oncoming train enters the other loop. __________________ http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php...textsearchID=1

MERGING REQUIRED!!!!!!! He gave me his progress while I had only TC and almost everything was missing, and it wouldn't let you go to newark because, thats pretty much entirely off of TRS2006 dependencies. I merged and everything worked perfectly. If you haven't done so, you should check out the forum. I'll ur basically doing is copying all of the dependencies from the 06 folder to the TC folder. I'm pretty sure just 06 will wrok better than just TC but tou'll still be missin quite a few things. Davis

I think you can define blocks as between signals, as Frosty90 does in her/his reply. But the turnouts do have some sort of overriding function if they have, as they should, a signal protecting the opposite direction of travel. This feature sometimes, but not with all consists, holds following trains at a red until the consist in front has cleared the "opposite direction" signal at the next turnout, even if that is miles down the track. I have found the only reliable solution is to take away the "opposite direction" signal. But, of course, you can't do that if you have a loop, as in this query, or you want two-way working. Somebody, somewhere, must know the rules that are programmed in (TRS04). I am going only from reading the manual, the forum and experimenting.

There is a thread in the TRS2006 forum named Monorail Information, which contains a lot of information on downloading and using the monorail content. It also contains an external link to the project Release Notes, which probably contain more information that you want to know about the project. You should be able to answer all your questions from the Release Notes and from messages in the Monorail Information thread. To address your specific questions: * Stations are sensitive to the direction you lay the track through the station. To work correctly, you have to lay the track in the direction the train will run. I believe this is in the release notes. * The original cabs did have problems with the DCC mode. This, along with some other significant items, have been fixed in the content currently on the Download Station. Don't use the original content on the Au
