New track sections?

Ian, I tried to create my own track sections but I had problems with track textures. I don’t know how Kuju applied textures to track sections. Jeffrey.

I looked at the TSECTION.DAT file to see how turnouts (points) are made. I found out that turnouts are made from three track sections: one long straight section, one curved section, and one short straight section that goes on one end of the curved section. The long straight section is 40 meters long for the 10-degree turnouts instead of 30 meters. If the straight section is 30 meters long, I would put four turnouts together to form a double-crossover taking up less space than four turnouts and four pieces of dynamic track sections.

Tim at trainsimfiles is working on some new track which will be far more realistic than the ‘toy’ track supplied with the game. It will have correct size sleepers and timbers with correct spacing, correct size rails, correct crossing angles, chair details, check and wing rails and the correct 6 foot way separation. There are some pics posted on the forums at trainsimfiles.com.
