    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.

Interactive map making? - TrainBoard.com - 0 views

    Interactive map making? Computers & Trains John- I'd highly recommend the following link... USGS Geography: The National Map Click on the "Go To Viewer" on the left, and a map creator will open up in a new window. You can use the "layers" on the right side to turn various coverages (things like hillshade, railroads, highways, topo maps, etc.) on and off, and once you have the map the way you want it you can export it out as an Adobe file. I created most of the maps in the Along the Line section on McCloud Rails (McCloud Rails Home Page- McCloud River Railroad, McCloud Railway Company, McCloud River Lumber Company) and many of the maps on High Desert Rails (High Desert Rails) using this source.

Best process for creating routes - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • 1. Baseboard Layout 2. Track 3. Texture 4. Topolgy 5. Detailing (roads, cities, etc)
  • here's an infinite number of ways to do it, but I generally do it the same way as previously mentioned. I try to work on no more than 3 or 4 boards at a time although I have worked on 10 or 12 at a time. If you get too many boards out there, the task can seem overwhelming and you can easily become discouraged. I usually work in this order: 1. track (fixing spline point elevations as I go) 2. terrain (bringing terrain to track) 3. adjust remaining terrain to my liking 4. add buildings and roads. sometimes bldgs first and sometimes roads first 5. a base texture, usually copied and pasted 6. signals 7. foilage 8. details I find it important not to work in your signalling and test the route out as you work. If you get the route too big before testing, then it can become a daunting task to find problems with your layout.
  • Well, I remeber an old article, but I don't know where it is. This is how I would do it. 1. Terrain 2. Trackwork 3. Roads 4. Buildings 5. Landscaping 6. Textures This is how I would do it. I look forward to pics

    My 2.1 cents worth - I like to use existing terain and put on my civil engineering and surveyors hat to find the best locations for tracks and roads. I leave the grey with yellow grid during this process as it helps me to visualize the nuances of the terain. Once track and roads are down, I texture the roadbeds. (And don't forget all the foreign roads that cross your railroad and provide interchange traffic.) Next I place depots, terminal faciilities and industries. Next comes signalling At this point I have an operational railroad. I can choose to run trains or work in adding details. __________________

    Midnight Crossing Railroad short fiction by Chuck Brite, ã2005 Rummm. Rummm. Rummm. Billy Thompson gunned the car's engine impatiently as he waited for his friends to come out of the convenience store. It didn't help. Then he leaned on the horn a couple of times, but that didn't help either. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, they came outside, their arms full of snacks.
