After a year, and almost 11,000 downloads, we thought it was time to update Marias Pass 3.0. The changes aren't as major as they were in 3.0, more like some fine tuning.The installation process was changed to make a stand alone install, using RouteRiter and Clickteam to do the packaging. The package was broken into 7 parts, each around 12 MB. Why so big? The activities!I re-converted the activities that were included in MP3.0 and added many more that were released after 3.0 came out. For those that use non-standard rolling stock, I included the necessary stock in the MP3.1 packaging. MP3.1 does NOT use or need XTracks, but should co-exist with it just fine if you already have it installed. It DOES need all 6 of the original routes to be present during the installatiion. In the case where you have replaced USA2 with Marias3, you can simply rename the Marias3 directory temporarily, run the MP31 install, and name it back.We've cleaned up the road crossings, removing most of the concrete thingies and raising the roads to make more realistic looking crossings. I've included tree textures from Judd Spitler and new crossing gates by Bruce Bridges, complete with flashing lights.Almost all of the mainline crossovers and single to two track splits have had the 10 degree switches replaced with 5 degree switches. These are much more realistic looking. This caused a couple of switches to be relocated, such as the Marias crossover, because we needed a longer stretch of straight track than was available at the original point.We also cleaned up a few odds and ends from MP3.Paul and I want to thank you for downloading MP3. We never dreamed it would reach almost 11,000 downloads. Here's to MP3.1!Bob Siederer
