Railroads problem.

[ATC3729]

Hi everyone!

I am experiencing a trouble trying to create railroads in sbuilder.

I have uploaded the BLN from QGIS and converted it into bgl. I also picked up textures from sbuilder. However, nothing appeared in FS9. After that stock RR files were removed and replaced with this one through addon scenery - to no avail one more time.

Is there something wrong or I just don't see them? Maybe it is a texture problem? If so, is there a way to replace the stock sbuilder texture with something more bright and visible? Would you be so kind as to help me?

Windows 7 32 bit.
Fs2004
Sbuilder 2.05.
QGIS 2.18 GRASS.

Unfortunately, the site prohibits BLN uploads.

Hello:

If you archive your *.BLN inside a ZIP file, it may be attached here if its size does not exceed FSDev limits.

Also, be aware vector data is best exported in a SBuilder Exchange file *.SBX format (that can be ZIP-ed / attached here also).

I will attach it right now.

But how to convert SBX into BGL then?

Hi again:

I was not certain whether you had more than just the Railroad vector in your SBuilder project, so I suggested the *.SBX file too.


Your BGL attached above can be "Appended" as a VTP BGL and you will get the same result as Appending the latter *.SBX file.


FYI: You may need to substitute an edited version of- or Exclude and Replace- ...the default FS9 file:

[FS2004 install path]\Scenery\Eure\Scenery\RR955120.bgl


AFAIK, the easiest way to do this is:

Append the above cited default FS 2004 RR955120.bgl into a new project in SBuilder.

Now edit those VTP vector RR line objects as desired, and compile to a new VTP BGL.

Then use that VTP BGL instead of the default RR vector BGL, (thereby replacing the default BGL) ...on one's own FS9 installation.


But, technically, one may also exclude the RR vector with a VTP exclude ...if distributing a scenery for use by other people.

Now edit those VTP vector RR line objects as desired, and compile to a new VTP BGL.

Use the VTP RR exclude BGL along with the new VTP BGL and FS' default RR vector BGL, (this excludes / replaces a default BGL) ...on one's own FS9 installation.


If distributing this scenery for use by other people is your goal, let us know.
