I've just uploaded the latest patch build (0.6D, 07OCT03) and consists to the files area. Installation Instructions:FULLY BACK UP YOUR ATSFMAR DIRECTORY BEFORE INSTALLING EITHER OF THESE UPDATES! Consist/Paths update will NOT function with previous builds and must be installed AFTER 0.6D patch is installed!!!SFMAR06D.ZIP -- This is the Patch Update to version 0.6D. Unzip this route to the drive where you have Train Simulator installed (C:, D:, etc.). Files will unzip to a NEW directory called ATSFMAR07. AFTER you have fully backed up your ATSFMAR installation, move the folders and files contained in ATSFMAR07 into the ATSFMAR directory.SFMCns6D.ZIP -- This file contains all the consists, new paths and services for Build 0.6D. Do NOT install this until you have installed SFMAR06D.ZIP!!! Doing so will totally hose your installation and you will need to start over from scratch!What's in these patch/updates?Build 0.6D contains work contained between Carrollton and Kansas City primarily dealing with alignment of scenery/signals outside of KC area. Also included (the most important part!) are the new track files and databases which have the Kansas City Terminal trackage completed and all portions of the route connected. You can now drive all around the KCT from the furthest west end of the ATSF to the KCT, RI, and UP yards in Kansas City, KS; take a tour of the North End Freight Line (Santa Fe Jct. to Rock Creek Jct.); run from Argentine to BN Murray/NW Avondale Yards via the west bottoms and crossing the river at Hannibal Bridge; also included is the ASB Bridge route from BN Murray onto the NEFL... Fully signalled and speed-posted...The new consists/paths pack is updated to modify the paths to work with the new patch-build release. Consists used in the various included activities are also included. NO EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN INCLUDED. Future releases will contain equipment files for which permission has been received to re-distribute only. It is the end-user's responsibility to download the necessary non-default equipment.Bug reports to either the forum post or to jdbandman@earthlink.net. Annotated screenshots are greatly appreciated! (Note that I will not be able to respond to bug reports until Wednesday evening due to other personal obligations!)JBD
