Hi Ged, thanks for clarifying that point so the new available download will allow a user to
create new items for MSTS without the need for installing the update.

Hi Bob,
Yes, I have tested it with a VERY simple model and exported to MSTS successfully!

Just to emphasise - there was no update as such; the file described as v1.1 update was the full 1.1 version!

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged,

Many thanks for all your hard work in getting TSM available again.

2 years ago I was trying to make a coal tipper for my Forest Of Dean Route. I ended up making it in the free version of Sketchup and tried many ways of getting the model into my route, Unsuccessfully. I seem to remember that I believe the problems centered around the textures.
So after many months of trying, in the end I gave up.

I am now going to have another go using TSM, which I have downloaded.
I can't find any way of importing my sketchup files into it.
So I am going to start from scratch in building The Coal Tipper in TSM, But first I have got to teach myself to use it. I have printed off the tutorials from the help file & started working my way through them.
Water Tower project completed.
I have moved onto Assembling a Pre-Built Boxcar Tutorial, but I don't have the pre-fabricated boxcar files in the Projects folder?
Can you help please?

Many Thanks
DaveJB

Hi Dave,
It appears that Louis didn't include the additional Projects and Library files within the installer. I apologise in that I didn't spot it, but I was more concerned in getting TSM available!! I've had a word with Louis and he is looking at including them with the installer in future, but I can't tell you when!
I hope I'm not jumping the gun and infringing any copyright, but if you send me a PM with your email address I'll see if I can sort them out for you.

Cheers,
Ged
