CP Mactier Sub, Template Options

[dgionet]

Hello to all,

As many of you know, the CP Mactier Sub was released last week in TS.

The route also includes the entire Barrie-Collingwood (BCRY) short line between both cities. Only one engine is part of the BCRY roster, which is the BCRY 1001 GP9. Unfortunately, the engine was available nowhere among the MSTS downloads. Last Saturday, I have decided to try to create the GP9 for the BCRY.

The newly BCRY 1001 has been successfully done and is now available in the Mophouse site as of today for download.

Here it is:



Also earlier this week, Ted Kocyla has enhanced the route with its texture upgrade.

I wanted to finish the BCRY 1001 before going any further with plans to announce my intention to create a template. Now this and the texture upgrade are done, I am now ready to offer to create one for the route, if no one else has already started it.

Have done the SB from Mactier to have work in the same sidings as the previous. Have been successfull at Midhurst and Utopia. Unfortunately, I have collided North of Ypres. Luckily the act was saved at Essa. Reloaded the act, let the NB pass and was able to do my work at Utopia and resumed my run after. Again, back and forth movement will push an oncoming train within the circuit if he is waiting for you to pass. Save and reload if necessary.

The best time to work on the mainline is right after you have met an oncoming train. If it has been a while you have met your last, better save your act before the next area to meet. Trains have been scheduled at about every 90 minutes. That means you have reasonable time if you have a pickup or two along the main and making sure you have time ahead before the next meet.

I may be releasing the whole package in about a week or two if my testers haven't found any issue. I have done a lot of testing, have made slight adjustments and am very satistied with the results so far.

Will update again later
