Fictitional routes in MSTS version 1

[c36dash7]

I just thought I would start a thread dedicated to fictional routes some of us design , in the MSTS version 1 format . Who doesn ' t ( secretly ... ) ?

This is also to test a screenshot posting format, that would answer a lot of my own questions . In any case, here we go ...

New Test 4 ( fictitional ) custom route in MSTS Version 1 , very first screenshots , work in progress so far






Follow up : That's gotta be it ... thanks to this preview function in the Forum .

This is the very first time I am posting screenshots which are in the bitmap / .bmp format ( all my previous ones were saved and posted in .jpeg format ) .

In any case, this certainly represents some progress ( and I am thankful for you guy's patience , in putting up with my previous efforts ) .

In closing, just note a new track texture / this simply is a new texture file , for the ties , ballast , and rails , but still using the MSTS default track system .

The real blooper in my previous route design efforts, was that I had used the Dynamic Tracks exclusively , which seem to have a mind of their own , and mess up everything quite a bit as far as overall appearance and resolution .

Learned the hard way , again ...

More stuff … ( heck, why not, now that it doesn’ t look like my screenshots had been soaked in Javex bleach , right ? … )

I am about 2 whole weeks behind on posting some screenshots , but I desperately need some kind of eyeball break, so I will be posting a few this week .

This is at the earliest stages ( something to keep in mind as you view this ) .

Thanks for looking !
