Skyline User's Forum _ Templates _ Bluefield ERD Template

Posted by: nbeveridge Jun 14 2007, 07:03 AM

I have passed to Steve an updated template for the Bluefield East River District route. The only corrections were to certain player paths, and the documentation was updated a little bit.

In the previous template, several player paths caused problems in AG if the train started with more than just a few cars. These paths started near the engine house at Bluefield, with the direction pointed east. Because the engine house track only extended a few hundred meters past the start point, then a train which started with, say, 20 cars, would begin in collision and MSTS would crash. This was a known feature of AG with any route that included a path like this, and the user was warned about it. But I felt like it would be more user friendly to adjust the paths, so I did. These paths now start out in the yard, in a position similar to those used in so many recent templates, where the locos have easy access to the yard tracks and the main line from the one position. No longer would the loco set have to back away from the engine house and then traverse several miles (yes, Bluefield is a BIG yard!) to get to the yard tracks and main.
