John Thanks - I will try it out. Not sure about our respective ages - but the time I was referring to was the late 70s / early 80s. You could just glimpse the viaduct from treboeth along certain roads but you get increasingly better views as you walk towards Plasmarl. (obviously I suppose!) Best vie...

I installed the patch first - then the main install - and it worked fine! You do have to wait a long time for installme1.bat to finish though! Jon ps, John - you mentioned in a previous post the Landore Viaduct - is this coming in a later route extension or can you get to it in the current version? ...

cheers Ian for the quick reply! Route Editor is an as yet unexplored nightmare for me - though I do fully intend to give it a go in the future. Reading these forums makes me very wary indeed so far! 3d modelling is so so simple by comparison!

John - thanks for this route - it's great!

I am not using x-tracks and as you say, it causes no problems with install. I am looking forward to driving the route more - and creating some activities for it!

What's so good about gmax?

I have used 3d Canvas lots in the past year and find it to be an excellent product. However, many people rave about the capabilities of gmax now we have a game pack for MSTS - could anyone enlighten me as to the features that gmax offers over and above what 3d Canvas Pro already offers? cheers guys ...

Maybe the best thing to do is contact the creator of the 08 and ask if they would send you a file that you could investigate - that way they are aware of the work being done to their model and you will probably find that they are more than happy to help / explain how the mapping was done (providing ...

Canvas is the best by a long long way - as Paul says it's always being developed and the customer service (right down to Richard Borsheim the author actually helping with specific modelling problems) is second to none - you feel as if he has always got time to personally deal with your issue! And it...

Pete Harvey (harveype) built the coaches - I believe from modelling kit plans - so he might send you a scan if you ask nicely :-)
