Does anyone know where I can find a really good tutorial on activity design. All searches I've done have failed. I'm looking for some step-by-step type of material.Thanks
For a very simple introduction:http://www.railpage.org.au/steam4me/trainsim/tutorials/ig_a.htmThere is also a short doc available here in the train-sim.com file library, though I haven't read it myself. Search for activtut.zipWhat you _really_ want is Rich Garber's basic tutorial "Activity Tutorial.pdf" that used to be here in a file named acttutv1.zip, but I don't see it anymore. Perhaps you can find it elsewhere.I see there are a couple of tutorials over at avsim.com. You might want to take a look at those.Beyond that the only resource I know of is the book Dick mentioned. I don't have it myself but everyone I know who does have it seems to think highly of it.Good luck.Rob.
It's actually the early version, from what I understand, the predecessor of the $10 version. I suppose it is less complete than the $10 version, but I have used it, and one can get a lot of good help from it.MC
