New Siskiyou Route Update

[Don6218]

Hello, I just loaded the new "update" for this nice route. The trackage is very well done and included Rolling Stock and Locomotives is a great idea!
I was hoping to see some scenery installed in this new version, but I also see that there is a Siskiyou Folder to download a spreadsheet of Route Objects, does this tell us where to install the included Shape Files for the Warehouses, Trees etc?
The only scenery I have seen are the Propane Tanks at the Switch Heaters, and of course the Car-Spawners with the Highways and Roads.
Thank you for this fine route!

Are you saying there is basically no scenery in the route other than propane tanks for switch heaters?\

regards,

[seagoon]

Correct, Vince.

[Don6218]

Correct. BUT there is all kinds of Buildings and Vegetation in the "Shapes" file and in the Reference File.

????????????????? There are numerous buildings and flora among the 3200+ shape files in the shapes folder.

Where is this Spreadsheet to download referenced?

As to questions about the route, did you not see this on tha same page that has the pointer to the download?

If you run into any kind of difficulty. or if you have questions about the Route I'm here to help... just drop me a note.

Yes, I did see that, but I thought I would check here first to see if I was just missing something. There are various links on the web-site, none seemed to answer my issue, but scenery was shown on a couple of pics displayed.

Isn't the route a work in progress? There probably isn't scenery in that part of the route yet

Vegetation (forest) has been placed through Cow Creek Canyon. In my opinion the result is quite convincing and the area is very nice for taking screenshots. I have attached a ZIP with explore paths that begin at either end of the canyon (Glendale and Cornutt) or at Dutchman within the canyon. The paths are for the latest release of the route.

Here are some shots across Cow Creek Canyon. It has been posted a few months back.

Yes, I realize that is a "Work in Progress", I was just asking about this in case I missed something. I ran the Sisk_Ashi_TP_01 act so far.
Looking via Google, this route has tons of vegetation, I can see that it would be quite a chore to get it all in.
Thank you all for the input.

Unfortunately, Other than Cow Creek, some spots do have some scenery and buildings, Cottage Grove has some buildings but you must realize Dale is doing this by himself. I am one of his two volunteers and am basically the beta tester for any changes he makes. I have put out requests for scenery builders to help but no one has come forward to help. So we must continue to wait as Dale goes through this painstakingly slow process of creating each scenery item by himself now that his updates to tracks, signals, and AI shunting seems complete.

Hi Folks,

Didn't realize that people were creating posts all over the place... Got pointed to this and others by emails from users.

Amazing... That's all I can say... Someone runs one activity and suddenly they know all there is about the Siskiyou Route and its scenery.

Someone actually told Vince that there isn't any scenery in the Siskiyou Route.

I remember when I was a young lad and I was told the story about the blind man who went up and felt the elephants tail... and then went around telling everyone that an elephant is a snake... Sound familiar?

Vegetation?... How about millions of trees along the 32 mile trip through Cow Creek Canyon.
Structures?... Navigate over to White City and you'll find a great number.

Guess I've wasted enough time here... Gotta get back to work on the Siskiyou Route.

This whole thread was rather depressing... :-(

[Don6218]

Keep up the great work! No reason to have these threads get depressing. My initial inquiry was just to confirm that I did not fail to download something, that was answered very well. It amazes me that a simple question/post can get so many explaining things that were not even asked and then get very convoluted.

Cheers to you and your small team getting this to fruition. Many have fallen by the wayside, see this through, however long it takes, lots to look forward to.
