RailTerrain

the Railway Guide DataRailTerrain's terrain generation functionality is operating normally. However, the external OpenStreetMap/Overpass servers used to download railway mapping data are currently experiencing availability problems. As a result, the optional painted railway guides may not appear in generated routes.This does not affect the generation of terrain from real-world elevation data or the creation of Trainz route files.We are investigating alternative data servers and intend to release an update once a reliable solution has been tested. Updates will be delivered automatically through Steam.Select your locationExplore the built-in interactive map and position it over the part of the world you want to use. Select your route area directly on the map and RailTerrain calculates the geographical coverage and the Trainz baseboards required.Generate terrain from real elevation dataRailTerrain automatically selects an appropriate supported terrain-data source for the chosen location and uses real elevation data to construct the landscape. Terrain smoothing can be adjusted before generation, allowing you to choose how closely you want the resulting terrain to follow the source elevation data.Follow the real railwayWhere railway mapping data is available, RailTerrain incorporates a visible rail guide in the form of painted terrain into the generated route. This provides a geographical reference for laying track and developing the railway after importing the route into Trainz.From map selection to Trainz routeGive your route a name, choose its location and settings, and generate. RailTerrain handles the terrain processing and creates the Trainz route files in the output folder you specify. The resulting route can then be imported into Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022 and developed using Trainz's own route-building tools.Designed for route buildersRailTerrain provides the starting landscape rather than attempting to build the finished railway for you. Track, signalling, stations, scenery, buildings, roads, vegetation and other route details remain in your hands. You get real-world terrain as your canvas while retaining the freedom to decide what the finished railway becomes.Key features• Interactive world map for selecting route areas• Terrain generated from real-world elevation data• Automatic selection of supported terrain sources according to location• Adjustable terrain smoothing• Railway guide data where available• Automatic creation of the required Trainz route structure and configuration files• User-defined route name and KUID details• Route-area and Trainz baseboard information before generation• Generated routes ready for import into Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022• Terrain data is cached where appropriate, reducing the need to download the same source data againReal places. New possibilities.Start with somewhere real. What you build there is up to you.
