Hi Mike,

Yes, both should run inTS12 or newer - although I noticed one of the porters wasn't making any sound in TANE; I'll need to take a closer look at it and see what's going on.

Hi Mike, There are some problems with TS 2009 and 2010 where the graphics can get corrupted. I don't have that version running any more on any of my machines, but there should be a setting somewhere to disable hardware graphics compression or acceleration or something like that. Try that, then delet...

I seem to remember White in his freight car book saying freight trains in general tended to average about 10mph in the 19th century (with exceptions for express cargo, like fruit or tea).
It has been fun following this project - you've done a lot of work on it, and it is looking very nice!

That's really coming along; nice work!!

Updated schooners are now on the DLS; with any luck, they fix the OLG issue on some systems

Setting the environment in TANE is definitely an art form
The default settings seem to me to be a bit fuzzy and washed out: Mucking around with them I can get (imho) better for everything but the sky; the sky is a bit washed out still:

Here's a shot of the route in TANE:

I'm loving the longer view distance....

OK, last update, I swear! The file now has both ships, as well as static versions. If no issues, I'll put them on the DLS later this week at build 3.7.

One more version - when reviewing the plans, I noticed some things were missing / not quite right, so I made a couple more changes.

I'll convert the other versions over, and if no issues, put them on the DLS.

Very cool! Yet another of your creations I'm looking forward to playing with!

Curtis

Maybe I'll keep them at 3.7 for now anyway, then. If I get around to playing with the TANE-specific stuff, I'll do another release at that time.

I've now re-exported one of the ships from Blender (and added normal maps, and optimized textures, and general cleanup, and fixed the TANE error, and....), if you want to see if it works in OpenGL on your system? It's Trainz-build 3.7, I think, but should be able to be backdated to 3.0. I suspect I'...

I've updated these ground textures for use in TANE (which also fixes the warnings in TS12). The updated file is at http://www.carsoncarshops.com/files/custom_ground_textures_v2.zip . It's trainz-build 2.9 because of the required normal maps, but I've only tested them in TS12 SP1 and TANE. Here's a s...
