Nice stuff, Marc.Really like the effect of your tree textures in the first shot.The dramatic lighting also really showcases your CRR F's. BTW, don't you just LOVE creating tree masks? Andre

whoa. I knew they (the trees) were possible, but I didn't think anyone was going to get around to actually making anything like them. I think I might have to install something when I get home.

Stunning work. Makes you wonder about the comments about the graphics in MSTS1 not being up to par. Two years later and MSTS1 still looks the best to me.

>Only problem is I'm getting a bunch of errors running the route.The errors are probably because of the deverging turnouts, which are fixed (yanked 'em out and put 'em back), and will be included in the next build early next week. Cheers!

Give me a couple of days while I wrap up a few items for Andrew and I'll post more pics. I haven't worked on the route much, but did manage to finish most of the terrain textures (only a couple of areas to tweak), and also laid in a few roads and tree texture experiments. Hot and heavy construction will commence once I've finished the Surfliner equipment.Out of Big Stone Gap heading towards Appalachia:

You can almost hear those wheels squeaking on the curves. Don't those high hoods look great. The only thing better would be the orange and cream Rs3's of the Interstate!! Mike Gilmore
