Re: Gradient profiles needed! Can I use Google?

Thanks for your input guys and, after a good few hours of tracklaying, I have completed the lines in question. In the absence of the profile then "best guess" from the terrain/maps etc. is the order of the day. I did that for my Swedish MSTS route and never received any complaints. Let's face it, wh...

Re: Gradient profiles needed! Can I use Google?

Thanks Vern, I think I just needed someone to tell me to get on with it and do my best :D. I have checked all the books etc and have bought a few out of print copies for the Forest lines so will now just go with maps etc for the remainder. Problem I always have in being a bit of a perfectionist is t...

Re: Gradient profiles needed! Can I use Google?

I think you are right. I can't believe that all those signal box diagrams/gradient profiles have disappeared into thin air! One thought that did occur to me was to use the elevation data from Google Earth and create a profile from that. Problem is I don't know how accurate the data is and where I ha...

Re: Enamel Station Signs Kit Tutorial. Part 3

Sly

Thanks for the prompt reply - as soon as I posted the question I noticed on another thread that you were off to the US for a fortnight :D. Thanks for the quick fix - I'll try some more signage later today....

Gradient profiles needed! Can I use Google?

I am building the routes in and around the Forest of Dean, within the area Chepstow - Grange Court - Ross - Monmouth. No problem with gradient profiles within the Forest but I need to source those for the Grange Court to Ross line, the Ross to Monmouth line and the Wye Valley line from Momouth down ...

Re: Digital traction...sounds

As a newcomer to both KRS and this forum I am totally baffled by RSAdam's comments and apparent paranoia when it comes to the issues raised in this thread. Again, as a newcomer, I would have thought that it is self evident that the success of Rail Simulator is to a large extent dependent on the quan...

Re: Enamel Station Signs Kit Tutorial. Part 3

Sly Having struggled with Excel when you first uploaded this kit, I have only just got round to start the "signing" of my route and I've hit a problem. :( It is probably just a side effect of old age but if I follow the tutorials and overwrite the nameboard.TGA or .BMP file as per tutorial Part 2, a...

Hi engin87 Autodesk's SP2 is for Max9 - I have Max 2009! :) What I'm actually looking for is some indication from RS as to when they will release Art Plugins for Max 2009 as this is the latest vesion of Max.

Single slips

I am probably just being thick or something but how do I create a single slip? No problem creating and welding a crossing but when I get to the second weld I only seem to be able to create a double slip..... :-? I get the white slip outline OK but what next to create either a "right" or "left" singl...

Support for 3DS Max 2009

Hi there

Have just installed 3DS Max 2009 and tried to run it with the Max 9 plugin - needless to say it won't work. :( Any ideas or when we are likely to see a 2009 plugin??

Thanks....Nick

Re: Enamel Station Sign Kit Tutorial Part 1

Sly - according to the feedback my partner has got from MS the change was done because of security and indexing (??) :D Thanks for the offer of v2 - I was just about to start on it! If you want me to test under 2007 just PM me... thanks again, Nick

Re: Enamel Station Sign Kit Tutorial Part 1

Sly There does appear to be an Excel 2007 issue that is affecting this. Under 2003 you have used a combination of drawing shapes and control text boxes which are then assembled in their various groups - no problem doing this with 200, 2003 etc, standard practice. Under 2007, and I quote the help fil...

Re: Enamel Station Sign Kit Tutorial Part 1

Not as easy as I first thought! Uninstalled Office 2007 and then installed Office 2000, 2003 and 2007 in that order....Excel working fine in all 3 versions with a number of spreadsheets. However, Totems and Signs.xls is doing strange things in 2007 - enabled all macros and the regional colour button...
