Good routes?

[fatfluffycat]

I can't seem to find any good routes, does anyone know of good modern US freight routes?

[artimrj]

Lots of them on the DLS. I have about 60 of them installed.

There u go these are a list i found the other day, and they are GREAT :D

[fatfluffycat]

Thanks, I'll have to try some of these out.

[Khemore]

Np :)

[rrjohn]

Some great routes for sure I have a few of them. The model train ones make you step back and say WOW..... Look on Youtube for philskene who made a few of the model layouts.

[artimrj]

The UMR 2016 has been updated to the UMR 2018 version. Incredible route.

Different but related question. Given a route above how does one go about finding sessions for it. For instance I installed one of those routes (BL-SW) but if I go to Trainz content manager and request On DLS = True, Installed = False, Category = Session, and Dependencies include = <KUID of route> I get nothing.

I suspect I'm doing something wrong though I found a lot of old threads from 3, 5, 7 and more years ago suggesting that it's a right hassle finding sessions for routes which seems astonishing if true.

[artimrj]

It is hard to find sessions because there are not many made. You might have better luck searching in the Freeware forum at N3V's forum. Authors usually announce when they uploaded a session for a particular route.

Writing sessions seems to be too hard for most people to write.

This implies that sessions don't encode their route info in a way that the content manager can easily find them. It's astonishing to me that's the case. I can see not enabling searches of the form 'show me all sessions or routes that include this tree asset' due to the complex mapping and size of the DB, but a query of the form "show me all sessions that involve this route" seems such an obvious thing to do. A session only maps to one route so it's not like there's some complex relational DB with table joins needed.

Oh well.

I build generic, fictitious routes, one tile; Nashon and Esker.
Simple country side ; Point to point with two yards and a few industries.

Down load it , see how you like it...

I'd like to Hear some coment.

I know I did not ask the question. But this will be a big help to me. Thanks a lot. And thanks for asking that question.
