Anyone successfully got Texas and Pacific v1.0 to work?

Great!!!

I have combed the line Ft Worth to El Paso and corrected several aberrant track pieces that caused the mystical meeting of myself coming the other way. If you can help me assemble the other corrections, I will publish an update. I really am learning a lot from this. Mostly how much I don't know!

Hi Dan,

I was beginning to think that I was the only one having this problem. That should have been around MP539. (see note #8 this thread).

Also, at the "Abilene Yard North Burlington" I have not been able to get a path to pass through that point in either direction. I've looked at it with TSRE but the fix is beyond my expertise.

This is a great route, and I look forward to the bug fixes.

Not sure what is going on with the path files. The only usable path is "El paso station to Toyah", file "TP1_EPUS_Tyh.pat".

Everything else has no problem, with the updated shape files even better. The workaround, for the original shapes, would be to tick a box with "Extend object maximum viewing distance to horizon" in the option --> Video settings.

I want to tank you for the route and equipment belonging to the exact era. I am about to dive in...

Have a good day everyone. 👍

Open Rails NewYear MG 2025-05-04 05-18-28.png I love those T&P GP9s. Also, that's a great 3D cabview.

The only problem that I have with them is that they are smokers. Is there any way to reduce the exhaust?

I know there are upload programs/files that can fix this to OR standards, which I have downloaded on my desktop, but am away and only using my laptop. I did a search but did not find what I was looking for. However here is my simple copy and paste replacements for the lines in the .eng file that need changing. May not be perfect, but they do look better. You can play with the settings to get a better effect that you might like if you want.

What version of open rails are you using? your UI for the F5 function looks like an older one. when I run them in OR v1.51 or one of the newer test versions the smoke looks like this

I'm using ORNYMG-Rev. 163. I know there is a newer version out there. I think it's 164. When I try to download it I'm being told the server is down. I'll try again tomorrow and let you know if it works.

oper190,

I have a similar file. It doesn't seem to work that well with NAV locos.

Go into the eng. File for the Unit and there is a Section where you can Modify the Smoke Effects. It's Below the eng. Sound and Cab View Sections. There are Various Settings for the Exhaust Effect. Trial and Error Till You Get What You Want.

Darkhorse427,

The last screenshot I posted was with ORNYMG-Rev 163. Below is a screen shot using the latest testing version of OR. (OR 1.5.1-1783-g77a649f09)

Still the same old black exhaust.

The picture I posted the other day is with ORNYMG 163.

Still the same dark exhaust.
