Īs you can see in the next few screenshots, the default Kuju track not only does not have the look of T-section rail (or bullhead rail, for that matter), but it actually gives the illusion of being of a wider gauge than 4' 8 and 1/2":īecause the fat Kuju rails spread out the distance the top of the rail covers over the ties, the tie plates have to be stretched further on the tie as well.įinally, the flat nature of the ACleanTrack1.ace files means that, as is illustrated in the next shot, the ballast is sometimes floating higher than it should, and in all cases does not have the 3D effect that the USTrack system does: Okay, now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast.
UTILITY TO SWAP ONE SHAPE FOR ANOTHER IN AN MSTS ROUTE FULL
This will mean the images will take up the full frame I hope that this does not make reading the text, where the meat of this thread lies, too difficult. I just ran into an image file size limitation that this board has, so I think that from now on I'll simply post the links to online images rather than uploading the images to. SLI didn't rewrite the whole route, eschewing re-inventing the wheel in favor of simply adding those Xtracks shapes to the world files but not updating the route's local tsection.dat's numeration to coincide with the Build38 version of the global tsection.dat file that the route purchaser must now use to get the route to run. The default tsection.dat file that overwrites the original Kuju one is Build 00038. They also added five Xtracks sections to the route, which is why the route came bundled with an Xtracks installer. Later, in 2011, SLI improved the route's scenery and updated the route's locomotive physics and sounds, included a whole new rolling stock folder, made new activities, and updated the signals and trackside infrastructure. This route originally came out in April of 2006, and was built using the default set of Kuju tracks only, hence when this route's tsection.dat file was made it was based off of the original 2001 Kuju global tsection.dat. Recently I've been involved in a test of ORTS physics, and used the venerable old chestnut, SLI/'s BNSF Scenic Route v.2 as my test bed route. I've been converting my routes to the late Norbert Rieger's USTracks system (a derivation of his much larger DBTracks library) since Norbert came out with the system.
