To get access to all the objects included with the US version, you need to set the object filter on for whichever set of assets is "foreign" to the route. Click the small blue box in the middle left flyout then go over to the right flyout and select Kuju, then Railsimulator or RailsimulatorUS, whichever one isn't checked on yet.

Ok, Jim and Mike, You fellahs are so durn smaht. How does one open the "Asset Editor" :confused:
I have done "Everything" that you and Mike have recommended (I filled up a 3", 3 ring binder with your notes and tuts) and all sorts of "official" RS docs telling of it, But, have yet to find the "Asset Editor", much less open it.

PC, XPPro, SP2, 3.0ghz, 3.0gig ram, Nvidia 7300GT, SB Audigy, 120gig HD(2), 500gig HD.

1. I have a "fresh" US Rail simulator installed via EA Download Mgr.
2. Made a "complete" backup of Rail Simulator.
3. Installed the Upgrade MK1 (63,213kb, 02/08/08).
3a. BTW, the game runs fine and I have been able to copy route(PON)
and hacked it a bit. No problemo.:rolleyes:
4. Installed the Development Tools (Dev Tools.exe (Ver. 1.03).
5. Installed RS Tools "The Missing Bits" from Mike (ver. 3.1.35)
6. Read and printed out "All" his Instructions. (I really did):o
7. Want to build a new route called Housatonic (a real RR in New England)
8. Google Earth for Series and Named markers (kml files) western Connecticut
9. NASA for .hgt files (N41W073.hgt.zip/N42W073.hgt.zip)
10. Got all my ducks(Markers, hgt files and RouteTemplate) in their respective
ponds.
12. As in:
Rail Simulator\
- Source\
\Developer
\Woodfyr\ (dats me)
-Housy\
-RouteMarkers\
-HRRMARK.xml (Numbered)
-HRRMID.xml (Series)
-TemplateRoutes\
-Housatonic.xml
13. Per Mike - "Now run the Asset Editor and you should see your
route template-----"
14. What Asset Editor?!?!?!?!?!?:confused: Hell, I'd even let my dog get
pregnant (If I still had my Newfie):D

Once you get there you can right click on that and create a desktop shortcut for future use if you don't want to browse thru all that.

Thanks Jim,

Of Course, a new program generated by Dev Tools.
The templateroute exported just fine. (Assedtmplt.jpg)
Now all I need is to get the Asset Editor to see the Marker Files (.csv).
Oh, it sees them but the editor will not show the right panel (Assedmark.jpg)
when double clicked, so that one can export.

Is there a way to manually get them where they belong?

Gonna have to ask Mike that one, I haven't really tried making a route blueprint yet. Got a guy living over in the next town from me DEMmed this area and I thought I might borrow his DEM, but he said he couldn't email it cuz it was 30 some odd megs. :eek: For a prototype route all that stuff with the blueprints and DEM and markers is essential, but since I've only done fictional routes I just use the default template and wing it. :p I might get to it someday, this new town I live in has an old SOO Line yard (now CN) with a roundhouse and several paper mill industries that would be interesting to do. :cool:

Thanks Jim,

I'll send an email to Mike. This whole process is the most convoluted structure I have ever seen.

Really want to do this route of the Housatonic Railroad as it served the heart of the industrial revolution in the mid-1800 up until the shift to
Pittsburg because of its coal and the introduction of the Bessemer process.

Plus that, I worked on the resurrection of the line in the 80s.

I just remembered that I spent some time at various paper mills along the Wisconson River at Port Edwards, Nekoosa, Wisconson Rapids and Wausau. Lots of mills -- And I always thought that Wisconson had nothing but cows.:p
