 QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, ACCOLADES, AND GRIPES


This is the only page upon which I encourage comments, accolades (at-a-boys), and gripes. I do not want the other pages of my Blog to become cluttered. All comments posted here will be given due consideration and will hopefully result in an improvement to my Blog, such that we can all benefit.

When you leave a comment here please keep it on a helpful note. Additional comments telling me why you feel the way you do, and a suggestion of how something could be improved, are always welcome.

Thanks Kindly,
Grant

Hey Grant. Looking forward to your release date. I live in SW B.C. (Lower Mainland) along the CN New Westminster Sub at Lake City. I've been following your tutorial blogs and so far they are the best that I've been able to find. Videos on You Tube are great but often rushed and hard to follow. I've decided to make an attempt at creating the B.C. Rail Squamish Sub, between N. Vancouver and Squamish and if that goes well, I'll continue the line North to Lillooet. Chris

I'm looking forward to it, as well. Unfortunately, daily clamor and a recent death in the family has resulted in a significant break from the creation of the route. It is my intention to resume building within the next couple of months.

Route Building #5 - The Railworks World Editor From this point onward, it is highly recommended that you build your route in a windowed mode of Railworks. Full screen mode hides the 'close window' button in the upper right-hand corner of the window. Clicking this button is the only way I know of to close the program without saving. SUMMARY of Previous Tutorials By this point in the process: You ought to have completed the previous tutorials and have devised a plan for Where, When, What, and How.  You will need to have your start point coordinates written down for when you first create your route template. These coordinates use the Lat/Long format (eg. 55.83625  -115.3392) You will have chosen the Provider and Product names for your route, being careful to avoid names that may already be in use. A lot of authors will use their forum handle as their Provider folder name in order to avoid naming conflicts with others. The Product folder name is the unique name of the rout

TS2017 ROUTE BUILDING #6 - Getting Started (The Golf Course) ROUTE MARKERS Unless you wish to "walk" your way throughout the route you are building, you're going to need some route markers for navigating your way around the World Editor. Route markers are nothing more than a geographical locator within the Route Editor to travel from one place in the route to another. It saves you a lot of time in going from A to B. In the case of my own route I created a series of markers (known as landmarks in Google Earth) of key locations within the route. Once the landmarks were created I exported the file as a .kml file to the RouteMarkers folder located in my Product folder, awaiting conversion for use in Railworks. RW Tools comes back into service again for converting the .kml file to a set of two files that Railworks can use. To convert the .kml file to Railworks, proceed as follows: Open RW Tools and select the tab, Route Building Tools and hover your cursor over Ma

TS2017 Tutorials Home Page, A Guide for Beginners The following tutorials are offered to you as an enhancement to the many resources available on the Internet relating to DTG's Train Simulator 2017. By no means are these tutorials exhaustive, nor do they cover every aspect or feature of the topic. They were produced in an effort to provide the beginner with easy, step-by-step guidance. Further information can almost always be obtained by posting a question on the forums mentioned on our blog page, Route Building #1 - Introduction and Planning. AUTODESK 3ds Max Video Tutorials, by Glenn Ives My buddy, Glenn, in the UK also does not claim to be an expert in this field. He produced a couple of video tutorials for me when I was first getting involved with shapes and textures. I found them helpful and so, with Glenn's permission, I am making them available to you: 3ds Max Video Tutorial #1 - Basic Shape Creation and Exportation to Railworks  90.2Mb   15:01 3ds Max Video T
