Now uploaded and shortly in the file library. As usual also availabe over at www.uktrainsim.com.Version 3.12, November 2004 Another version where my own contribution is marginal. Steven Masters been at it again and contributed a great many sections: Curved points both tighter (A1tPntM150*/A1tPntM250*) and wider (A1tPnt1500*) than before. 10 degree modular points (A1tPnt10d*) with provisions for a true three way switchs (A1tPnt3w*). New 3 degree and 5 degree frogs (A1tFrog3d*/A1tFrog5d*), 40 degree and 75 degree crossings (A1tXover40d/A1tXover75d). Replacement shapes for 5d points & 10d YPnt and finally also some additional small pieces to fit odds and ends with the others. Please check the track laying page for Stevens directions on how to use these new sections.New contributor is Mark Hyams with his smooth curves that has been available separately. My own humble contribution are some new tram sections (A1t5dTramCrv/A1t15dTramCrv). These are also available in dual line tracks (A2t*) and so is the old 30d (A2t30dTramCrv). I've also added a 4.985m straight that is usefull with 90 degree curves to get correct track spacing. Finally inspired by Mark I've noticed the 3000/6000 radius curves looked bad and thus has been updated.´ TSection.dat build #27.
A million thanks to all you Tracks Designers, making running trains on them an enjoyable experience for me !!! The new shorter make-up sections will be especially useful, helping to avoid the use of DYNtracks ! Your improved 3000 radius curves will benefit the MARIAS-KOOTEANI, using many !Still trying to learn more on the subject to become one of you ! Take Care, O t t o.
Okrasa--Echoing Otto's a million thanks. Stodgy old f..rt that I am, I resisted for years because of some initial bad press and problems. Just goes to show you, being stubborn doesn't pay. Try first and then decide. Now I can't imagine how I lived without Xtracks.PaulS
Okrasa:I'll wait for this release. As usual, there will be the three versions available, isn't it? I mean Standard, Wizard and for Developers? Or only Standard?Thanks for this next edition.
Hi Eduardo !The Xtracks 3.12 / Tsection.dat 00027 self-extracting install version is already available from: http://www.uktrainsim.com but has not got Steven Masters Route Builders Guide for his additions. Will probably be part of the File Library version ?Don't forget to BACK-UP your GLOBAL Folders before installing !!! Take Care, O t t o.
Steven's guide IS in the documentation available in the route builders package. That's even mentioned in the release note above. Have not yet gotten around to update my web-site but that will happen any day now. (actually updated it parallell to this post!)
Hi Oki !I thought that's where Steven's directions might be, being more of interest to developers and downloaded the Developers Zip now that it is available in the File Library. This is all that your message said on the subject: Please check the track laying page for Stevens directions on how to use these new sections.
Hi,Otto:I want to download from the libraries because I want both the Setup and Developers versions, together with the Rio Grande Southern 2 route, I want it everyway. Hope I can login soon.Greetings!
All three usual versions are now available for download. I just finished downloading my copy.A lot of effort has gone into this package. My sincere thanks and appreciation to those involved.Take care, Gary Cameron Grande Prairie "The last civilized stop before Alaska," AB Canada
