I have a few pointers, I do these type of junctions daily * The most important tip is to place a JK Control Box object somewhere on the map. Without it, no animations will work. * I think it said in the manual that you should number the junctions from 1-4 in a clockwise manner while looking north. So basically, I put the Surveyor compass in such a way that I'm looking sl

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.

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

AJS Junction Kit FAQ Further information from my website.

This is a terrain only file for the route from White River Junction, VT south to Brattleboro, VT. This was made with the Hog utility and you will need the Hog textures installed to see the vector lines in Surveyor.

cross track

a session contains all trains and industry instructions etc. If you open the route only as long as you do not delete, rename or alter a sequence that the session uses it will be fine. You can add scenery, texture, create new areas of the route and save. the session will still work. Open your existing session then save it as a different name (Default rule). Now delete all the trains and you are left with only the rules you set up. Save this as the default rule session. When you open this next time all the rules you set up are ready to go without having to redo them, just add trains for a new session and save under a different name in order that the default rule session is not altered. Uploading the route and the default rule session gives everyone the basic setup __________________ http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php...textsearchID=1
