Aug-29-01, 00:07 AM (EST) 1. "finding an location" Hi,You can have a look at the .mkr file of the respective route. There you'll find real world coordinates of the stations. It's depending on the comments there, if you find what you search. You can then just copy and paste the coordinates (both for each self) to the coordinates field in the camera window of the route editor and jump to that location. If you know the route very good you can make a map of it.
Go into the route geometry extractor and load the route you're working with. Open the quad tree. Place the mouse over the squares and click RIGHT to Zoom region 2x then zoom in until you get this:

As you place your mouse over the squares you can see the tile coordinates in the lower left corner. Note the coordinates of the lowest and most left square, as well as the highest and the most right one. -12586,14756 -12489,14780 (=x,y)so x, thats the horizontal coordinate runs from -12586 to -12489 and y, vertical, runs from 14756 to 14780Paste the map to a paint or any other usable graphic program and print it out. Write down the coordinates on the paper.
From left to right -12586 585 584 ... 490 -12489 (counting back)
and down to up 14756 757 758 ... 779 14780Now you can read out your coordinats and when you're in the route editor you can jump to any tile quikly by typing the tile coordinates into the camera window.
Arrived on the chosen tile you must turn around and look where the rail is. Now you only need to find the the station.Regards,Dan Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
