    Nice trainz layout, I know a guy on discord who's building this same scene in N scale. He even has the same name as you!

    Suggestion: Put a dip in the sidewalk, like a driveway entrance, so the sidewalk is at road height where the tracks cross.

    I made myself a road spline asset that is just a big rectangle of the TUME airport street texture. You can inch it up or down to create the road surface without messing up the splines nearby. The road marking splines can be height-adjusted to sit just on top. Since your route is flat, it should be easy. You could even make the road spline dip a bit on the sides so the sidewalks are still a bit raised. Another benefit is you can tailor the spline to the exact width of that road you are doing.
    Because of the HD texture limit, I've also created some stains and cracks that sit on top of the street texture, as well as a spline of vehicle tire tracks.

    Whadya know, another AM video! And a new railroad, too, with Tranz 2022.
    It's been forever since I built in Trainz and I gather a lot has changed. Apparently, micro managing terrain/track/sidewalk elevations isn't one of the changes.
    I was gonna suggest lowering the sidewalks to street level (or raising the ground to nearly the streeet/sidewalk level) for where the trains cross the roads/sidewalks. My recollection from traveling through old industrial areas is there often weren't any fancy concrete sidewalks. On the over side of the country I recall in Oakland, CA that often there was a patch of gravel (or really rotten pavement) between street and buildings. I'll be looking forward to how you solve that problem.
    And the tracks were anything but well ballasted - ties sunk in muddy/greasy ballast often with only rail showing was more typical.
    It's really early in the build, but I'd hope the streets will be made positively nasty with cracks/patehes/potholes, on again / off again stripes.
    Joe, you sure know how to stick buildings together to make an interesting/realistic warehouse district. Loving your videos, dude.

    Great to see you building on TH-cam again. Looking forward to future episodes! If you're using HD terrain there, won't you just be able to raise the height of the road while keeping the ground lower under the sidewalks? It'll be a job of work, but what else do we ever do in Trainz than spend hours (and hours) terraforming?

    Hey Approach Medium firstly love your content always helps me with ideas for my route building plus always nice to see what you come up with from scratch pretty much. Secondly a poosible solution to your sidewalk problem, I would suggest setting the side walk height just a fraction above the terrain height maybe by .02 or something small enough so that the rail heads are still visible but you dont get the terrain interference with your sidewalk. Might be a bit of a fiddle getting the right height but in my experience its very possible.

    A few suggestions you could change the rail texture where it crosses the road to rails only or there are some good models to make your own crossing i just don't know how well they work in a curve

    Long time no see! Been ages since I saw one of your Trainz route building videos in my recommended, and goodness I didn't realize how much I missed them until now.
    This looks like it will be another excellent little route from you. Wish I had Trainz so that I could download it and play on it, but life issues ( and the fact that I've already spent $100+ on train games in the ~2 years I've had Steam) are not permitting me to.

    What's the point of using a DEM if you're just going to level the terrain? *facepalm

    • @ApproachMedium
      @ApproachMedium  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      lol true but DEMs aren’t always entirely accurate. In this case I think it captured too much of the surrounding building rooftops. For this particular build though, I really wanted it more for the google UTM tiles.
