Nice HST.

I think I was read somewhere a while ago that you were having problems with this route, corruption or something was it? Nice to see your back on with it.

Look very nice, keep the shots coming.

Ricardo,

It's looking great! Please, Please delete paths before you start editing track again. Another thing don't add too many signals TDB doesn't like it.

Good Luck! Looking foward to this one! It's unbelievable that MSTS has been out for 3 years and no-one yet has gones anywhere near London Paddington for a modern route.

Regards

P.S Yeah, nice HST

If you have a large enough HDD I will get some digi pics of stations between reading and london if you want.

Maybe something like this would help. Available at twice the size.

Whats that big purple thing in the middle of the field, just above the track? is it something to do with reading festival?

Hi

Is this being done with DEM? I think it would be a great idea, as it would the first GWML with properly realistic scenery along it.

The only problem with that though is the white out error. Does that lurk in this geographical region?

Luca,
I'd love to have those piccys please.
Chris,
It will be in DEM so I will have to start again as i have started laying track w/o DEM or is there a way to help this?

Cheers Richard

Hi

As has been said many times before, it is always best when using DEM to start with the terrain, do the track, then add scenery and roads. Have you got the track at the right place and elevation? If not, it would best to use what you've done as expierience, and start again, with the scenery done first. It should only take 20 minutes to do the terrain though.

Looking good! I agree with Chris, doing the terrain now, even if you need to rebuild some will save so much time and effort in the long run. The tile whiteout will occur near Didcot I think, but it isn't that much of a problem to save and reload.

Actually the second, but only by a few weeks! My route includes the GWML from Bath-Bristol:

I think your right about the DEM data, looks o much better! The hills are alive!

Hi

That screenshot is excellent, shows what you can achieve when using DEM.
