I have created this neat image for my Metra Route and I am wondering whole to use it. You know the BNSF image the appears below the menu bar when you click Marias Pass? How would you make it so that instead of an empty circle the image would appear? I have seen it done on TimeSaver. What size and type does the image need to be?Thanks!

RE: How do you make your route introduction image?

There is an ace file in your route's main folder that has the
same name as your route's directory. Edit or replace it with
the image you want, I don't think it has to be a set size, but
if it isn't the same size as the all black default one, the image
may be squashed or stretched to fit. TGAtool2 is good for this
kind of thing, available in the file library.Lloyd

such as it is.
