because i am done with it, plastik is wrapping his end up too.

Ok thats good, what still has to be done? is this going to get a new track.dat?

Im pretty shure there will be new buildings trackmods industries and rollibg stock. I saw a "drive in livestock pen" in a sreenshot.

Well....

I made it even harder.. I put up boundaries. I made walls where you should not pass through... i mean you can be a total loser and tunnel under them.. but you're not going over them or through them...

I might dig a scenic ravine to make it impossible to tunnel.. I just hate to deface the landscape...

where did you get the boundry marker? and what kind of person just tunnels thought the land scape?

custom content, you rock, If this is released before I get back from canada, I will bang my head on the desk (he is banging his head)

OMG! that is beyond belief...

Plastik and Beetle, you guys rock!

Can't wait for a release...

Plastik is cracking the whip on beta testing the map, every curve must be perfect every bend the tracks must go through nicely. So while doing this, i took a few shots:

Plastik has been working hard on this like a pig trying to find truffels. So much work is being done to get this out, buildings, trains, landscape, new industries, it is a very long list. anywho here are a few shots.

where the buildings and stuff are just placed roughly where plastik will be placing buildings, and no reflects what plastik will be doing there. just filling in space so i can make sure tracks are laid easily.

This will be the greatest map in locomotion history.

Will this use a custom trackst.dat? And will it include those cool buildings?

yes, but i will let plastik explain it all. that is his area. i my job make you all can lay trac with no problems at all, if one square is screwed up, then that can ruin the game.

Will you also be doing other passenger locomotives, like the FP45 (my favorite diesel), SDP45 and SDP40F? And since they only got a good three or so years out of them before Amtrak took over, can they be made to haul freight as well?

There's already an sdp40 in the megapack and there aren't very many sdp45s and fp45 msts models so plastik is going to have to do them by hand so you're going to have to wait a while.

Theres a SD40F, the one that amtrak owned, in all the amtrak phase paints.
Theres a F45 in the SF billboard paint and the SPSF merger painscheme.

well we are doing the 40 - 50's time era, and plastik has done a hell of a lot work. i don't want him adding anymore to his work load on this map, i think he has done far and beyond when it comes to engines for this.

remember the time period this will be released in

40 - and 50's is the best time period on the teh.

we are still looking at 4 - 5 week time release on this, irl has gotten in the way again, and things are being pushed back.

but it will come out, plastik is very excited about it. and the good news once this comes out, plastik and me will do a donner pass map right after, won't need much at all, since most of the equipment will come from TEH map.

Donner pass will be very nice, what year are you going to do donner pass in?

not sure yet, hopefully the same time period.
