How do I upload my Pictures of the Southwest Chief on this Fourm

[SouthwestChief]

I'm not sure if there are other ways to do it, but here's how I did. I loaded this picture to my website. Then I copied the image location and put it in brackets. You have to use some html coding. Put this code after the first bracket... img src=" ..... then after the quotation mark place the image (URL) ....then put "and bracket.

So it would look like this some web picture
But be sure to use the straight brackets like the ones shown on the left(when you are posting a message). I probably made this sound more confusing then it is but the key is to have the picture already on the web somewhere.

What route is that?
Are you going to release those cars w/ the opening doors? If not can you send them to me via E-mail?

That shot is great, post more shots of that train Please!!!!

You like the Superliners :) ? They are the ones avaliable to download from Buzz.

I made the open door with Adobe photo deluxe. A bit of trick photography if you will :D . You may have noticed the amber brake indication lights. I developed these in the wag file light section. I made them so they work like this, green=headlight ( 3 ), amber=headlight ( 2 ), and red=penalty ( 2 ). I have tried insesently to get them to activate by braking and not braking. So far nothing works. Kind of a bummer when things like weather can control lights but brakes can't :'( . I will make this coding avaliable soon, but I'd like to get the brake thing to work first.

The route is Cajon. That's San Bernardino station. I've traveled the Southwest Chief many times and am very familiar with the route. I'm curently developing an activity with loads of trafic and full yards. But unfortunately I can't figure out how to make consists without locos that can work on other computers then my own. So I doubt I'll be able to post this activity. Plus I use a lot of 3DTS stuff and they don't want these posted.

I'll keep the photos coming though and I'm glad you liked this one. :D

Matt,

What did you do to get them to open?

[SouthwestChief]

I should have said how I did it a little clearer. I took the screen capture and then altered the picture (erased then cloned the door way with the window color)(I also added the people then too). I wish I had a 3D program to actually make the door open during the game. But I'm not sure what I should get or even how to use 3D programs. I'm really looking into it though, and my first project would be very accurate Superliners, exteriors, interiors etc...

Anyone like a particular 3D modeling program out there, or know of one that works well with MSTS?

:D
Matt
