Track in MSTS

Post by sreeju444 »

Hi dears....

Everybody knows that we are using Dynamic Track for filling the rails in MSTS routes. By the way I am asking you an other question.

Is there Dynamic Tunnel Track availabe for making custom tunnel pieces? If available, please inform me.

cheers...

Sorry, Seerju but the answer is no. There are some additional tunnel shapes available, especially in the UKFS range of tracks.

I'm not arguing (just explaining why I'm right).

Would a Dynatrax profile be able to do dynamic tunnels?

If a tunnel profile is created then DynaTrax can easily make dynamic tunnels, but they won't be handled like fixed tunnel shapes - you'd get the external cameras. Thats why I haven't made UKFS tunnel profiles available.

The best solution is to get track developers to add more tunnel shapes, so you have more shapes to choose from.

There is a more complex solution - replace a fixed tunnel shape with a dynatrax shape in the worldfile (ie. just change the shape filename, rather than use dynamic track). This would allow you to use the path of a fixed tunnel shape from a different track system, and then generate a shape using DynaTrax that you can use as a replacement. Obviously you have to choose from the fixed tunnel shapes available.
