Re: Problems with google earth/asset editor

Hi again BC... I found a solution to some part of our mutual problem. When you want to create a decal blueprint, you do it by right-clicking the folder, not the ACE file (at least, that's what did the trick for me). You then name the new file the same as your ACE file for easy reference. You then ha...

Re: Struggling with setting my "world" up

Well, with my limited experience, I'll try to solve your problem. Once you have loaded your assets, did you save your route, exited the route and re-entered it? Whenever I want to see "blue sky bug" disappear, I have to do that!

Hope it helps,
Chris

Re: Route Creation

Hello again, after some fruitless effort with PSP and PS, I downloaded Gimp, complete with DDS plugin. After installing Gimp and converting a Google Earth JPG into DDS with good result, I was left with one obstacle... creating a border in an alpha channel. Anyone know how to make one? Thanks, Chris :)

I have installed the DDS plugin in PSP and when I try to save the image as a DDS files, I get a message saying that the alpha channels will not be saved because of the limitation of the file format!?!?!?!

Re: Route Creation

Hello again guys, I should have labelled this thread "Official help to Johnybgood18"!!! lol The terrain is fine, had the wrong HGT files. I'm at creating decals now. I'm using PSP 8 and it won't save properly to ACE format (some problems with the plig-ins) so I just save to JPG. Using ToAce, I trans...

Re: Route Creation

Finally managed to use the "t" key. I had the wrong tiles for the region I want to model. I downloaded the HGT files from the Nasa site but I'm still looking to dowload the files from the USGS site. If anyone has some info on how to do that, if you could share, it would be appreciated. In the meanti...

Re: Route Creation

Ok, I've made another step forward today. I had the blue sky bug but sorted it out but I'm still unable to generate the terrain. More to it is that I'm unable to download anything from the USGS site to get my DEM!

Oh well... I'll keep trying!

Re: Route Creation

Ok, I managed to get the maps but now, I can't get the terrain to pop up! :roll:

The "t" is not working but my HGT files might be corrupted or wrong so I'll check them out later on.

Cheers

Re: Route Creation

Hi Chris, You are missing a folder in your source folder structure. It should read C:\Program Files\Rail Simulator\Source\ChMah69\Hull-Gatineau\ TemplateRoutes \Hull-Gatineau.xml It is recommended to build up a folder structure as in the developer/addon example.
