High speed tracks ought to use super-elevation in the curves (more on this later). What kind of driving experience are you trying to create? Is this to be a passenger route, a freight route, or a combination of both? Determine the track and speed requirements of the route from your own research. Is your route set in the era of modern times or days gone by? This is necessary to determine what type, and genre of assets will need to be used to give the impression of the era. You can leave the resolution at 640 or increase it to 1280 if you have a faster computer. I would further recommend setting the type to Hybrid and the area to 3X3. A new window will appear where you can enter your API key. Once obtained, open Train Simulator choose Settings on the main screen. You can obtain a Google Maps Embed API key by going here. This is a most useful tool in building a route. In addition, prototypical routes can be accurately enhanced by placing assets according to the Google Map Overlay. More will be shared on how to import the srtm data into your route in a subsequent tutorial. represents your computer folder structure leading up to your parent Railworks folder. hgt file extension and must be stored in the folder: ".\Railworks\Dem\srtm\".
Canadian SRTM data is available for download from my Canadian DEM downloads page, or from Natural Resources Canada. American SRTM data is available from the USGS website using their Earth Explorer program. If prototypical, you will require the SRTM data in order to shape the terrain accordingly for the region. You must determine if your route is to be fictional or prototypical. Obviously, the first thing you must decide is where the route is to be situated. So, let's start at the very beginning: Let's get planning. No offense intended toward the presenter. Even at that rate, I found that his tuts were lacking a great deal of important information.
I found several video tuts on YouTube but they were difficult for me to follow because the presenter moved so fast that it was hard to keep up, and he used terminology that I was not yet familiar with. I had searched the internet high and low seeking tutorials or information on route building. Needless to say, those errors required that I go back to the beginning and start all over again. In my exuberance at the beginning, I dove right in to building a route only to find out later that I had made some big mistakes with respect to naming conventions and folder hierarchy within TS2017. You'll need a speedy computer with lots of RAM to construct a route, unless you don't mind waiting a long time for some processes to take place. we fail to plan." With that in mind, let me say that considerable foresight and planning is required if one wishes to build a quality, workable route. It has been said, "We do not plan to fail.
