<br />
We believe we have found a fix for the crash with the route in 64-bit
TS. Wayne has tweaked the objects for the "global" (always visible)
distant scenery items for a somewhat reduced resource footprint and that
seems to have done the trick. (Don't ask us though why the original,
more detailed objects work fine in 32-bit TS which theoretically should
have less resources available for them).<br /><br />Anway, <span style="font-weight: bold;">here is a patch:</span><br /><a class="postlink" href="http://vnhrr.golden-age-rails.com/files/2018-10-27%20Global%20Fix%20-%20WC.zip">http://vnhrr.golden-age-rails.com/files/2018-10-27%20Global%20Fix%20-%20WC.zip</a><br />Just
install it directly to your Railworks main folder and allow it to
overwrite files. If you want to create a backup of the original files
first, back up these:<br />- the entire folder <span style="color: #4040ff;">Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\Scenery<span style="text-decoration: underline;">\Global</span></span><br />- the file <span style="color: #4040ff;">Content\Routes\c427bd51-0f8f-4edb-948b-e9b5ceadd48f\Scenery<span style="text-decoration: underline;">\GlobalScenery.bin</span></span><br /><br />Please
note that this patch has so far only been tested by Wayne and me. We
hope that it works for everybody, but we can't guarantee it. Please
report back if it doesn't work for you and the crash persists even after
installing the patch.GreatNorthernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09141065746935696883noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550240530280169237.post-55590193049348893042017-09-22T07:45:00.004-07:002017-09-22T07:47:43.794-07:00VNHRR Springfield Line - Sale: Now 50% Off!<br />

It's the New Haven liveried GE E-33, and what a fantastic model it is, too! Featuring astounding details and some very detailed controls (including cold start procedures), this new locomotive will surely see a lot of action on the Springfield Line and the New York - New Haven route.<br />
<br />
Gary Dolzall has written an article about the new model's release here:<br />

<br />
While I do not fully understand the nature of this bug yet, it seems to be related to the weather and/or terrain texturing settings in the RouteProperties.xml and TemplateRoute blueprint. I am linking a hotfix below, containing updated versions of these two files. With them, I have not been able to get the bug to show up any more.<br />
<br />
Please backup the two original files first before installing the hotfix.<br />
<br />
The modified files are:<br />
<i>Assets\VNHRR\WVN_Railroad\TemplateRoutes\West Virgina Northern.bin</i><br />
and:<br />
<i>Content\Routes\f45680b0-efe9-4879-9ce5-3d9b0a319b24\RouteProperties.xml</i><br />

<br />
Available now for Train Sim 2017 are the 40xx series of steel interurban railcars that were constructed for the
New Haven Railroad in 1920-1921 by Osgood Bradley of Worcester,
Massachusetts.<br />
<br />
These are truly wonderful models that will be the perfect match for your backdated New York - New Haven route scenarios, or even just to make the southern end of the Springfield Line look more alive. <br />
<br />
You can <b>download </b>the NH motor car and coach set for free in the <a href="http://railworksamerica.com/index.php/download-library/engine-repaints?view=document&id=2434:new-haven-electric-interurbans-early-20th-century&catid=18:engine-repaints" target="_blank">RailworksAmerica File Library</a>.<br />

The massively increased power over the GP9 is very welcome for the engineer, but the thought that this might lead bosses to simply make the trains longer is worrying. Even a twenty car train with three GP9's can be tricky on this line with its <a href="http://vnhrr.blogspot.de/2017/04/b-kingwood-insane-gradients.html" target="_blank">huge elevation changes</a>.<br />
<br />
The<b> GP35 is available </b>in the <a href="https://travelbytrain.ecwid.com/EMD-GP35-B&O-+-Chessie-System-Early-access-20-OFF-p83039190" target="_blank">Early Access B&O/Chessie GP35</a> pack by Travel by Train. We highly recommend this fine add-on locomotive pack for Train Simulator 2017.<br />

<b>The B&O Kingwood Branchline Route</b><br />
Appalachian Coal Hauling<br />
<br />
Based on the West Virginia Northern Railroad, our new route takes you back to the Appalachian woodlands in the 1950s and 60s.<br />
<br />
Experience the thrills and challenges of a roller-coaster profile with extreme gradients of over 4%, tight and twisting curves, and even a switchback. There's hardly a moment to rest when you running this route. <br />
<br />
Find out more about our route here in this fascinating article written by <b>Gary Dolzall</b> for the train-simulator.com website: <b><i><a href="https://train-simulator.com/1960s-coal-country/" target="_blank">The upcoming Baltimore & Ohio Kingwood Branch route will bring to life classic, rugged Appalachian coal railroading!</a></i></b><br />

<br />
You can <b>download </b>them either here on the <a href="http://vnhrr.blogspot.de/p/extra-downloads.html" target="_blank">blog's download page</a> or from <a href="http://golden-age-rails.com/packsrw/vnh_gn.html" target="_blank">my website</a>.<br />
<br />
As before, these repaints are <b>freeware </b>and a standalone add-on, in other words they do <i>not</i> require the Springfield Line to be installed.<br />
<br />
A <b>scenario pack</b> using these cars is <a href="http://golden-age-rails.com/rwscnrio.html#greatnor" target="_blank">available on my website</a>. In it you will be in charge of GN Train 6, the Seattle-Spokane local, across Stevens Pass. This is a more detailed version of the same scenario that is available on the Workshop, using additional free- and (some) payware items than what is available in the Steam Store.<br />
