Trainz 2019: Rochester Division Episode 4

[@dbs0325]

Having spent most of my childhood both in this area and around Fairport (my parents are divorced), I just have to say that you're doing a tremendous job capturing the feel of the area as a whole. Along those lines, I'm sorry you lost your job to this whole coronavirus shpeel, and I hope you recover soon.

[@Michael4201YT]

There's yard clutter assets on the DLS. You could use those instead of rotating and placing several individual wheels

[@Flamerailzzz]

Cup of coffee, Some Google Earth, and Some Reference images and you’ll make it , your doing great AM! Don’t worry about the corona virus stuff, America is having it rough, great days are coming and we’ll all recover.

This aged like milk...

[@fostoriadistrictrailfan3907]

this aged poorly...

[@AlexB-vp9vc]

Wow that big highway interchange at the beginning I go through it all the time and that is a very good recreation! Im excited for more things!

[@johnathangeery]

I use to live in Rochester and would go ever few days to watch trains

[@jampresident9197]

Approach, have a look at JR's engine sheds, they have one or two that look like they match the size of the one at Goodman Yard. Route looks fantastic!

[@ssj4justin84]

Hey there AM, I was introduced to your videos by some other rail fans on KZbin. I work directly across the street from the area where you are working on in this video. I can give you some ground level photos of this area, plus I used to work for CSX, so I can give you some inside information on locations of stuff. Let me know if you’re interested. Keep up the great work!!

[@Partan.]

Nice work Approach Medium! Having struggled to complete any route builds on T:ANE I appreciate your dedication to the task and attention to detail :) Sorry to hear about your job, it's a strange time we're living in.

[@RickyGExtra_TX]

The highway intersection looks slick

[@johnkuzma7066]

You should do a small narrow gauge route like the greenhorn creek logging company it was only a mile long. Another good one would be the Sierra valley and mohawk railway only 10 miles long with an interchange with the Nevada California and Oregon. Furthermore I would be happy to reskin locomotives and rolling stock for the S.V.&.M.

[@railhead001trainzrantz2]

You should use the height adjustment to vary the rails and tie bundles so they don't look repetitious as you mention also change the angle of assets like barrels and other objects to give variance like in my scenes. Makes it look more realistic, nice work though !

[@o484]

I know nothing about Goodman Yard, but it looks to me like that area of the yard was where the roundhouse would have been back in the day. If Goodman Yard even had one that is

[@braddinferness7947]

bro its so awsome i love the work you put in to all your routes keep up the good work

[@hush6149]

For 6k subs your content’s really organised

[@manevrax5324]

HOW CAN I PUT THAT MENUU OF TRAINING OLDER TO THIS NEW DOG, I have 2 train games 2009 and the new train 2020, and the menu from 2020 is very difficult, you can help me terog

[@RailheadRailfanProductions]

Can you do a tutorial on using DEM maps? Looking to start a build myself and really am digging the DEM maps you use

[@Kermondale]

I hope the Job Comes Soon.

[@egg3050]

Yes thats what im talking about this route

[@Killerstairs7777]

Do you know where I used to live there used to be a train track

[@westernparailfaner2612]

Looks amazing keep up the great work!

[@Shaun.Khatch1]

Also how do you roam around so easily it’s hard for me to move around any tricks or ideas?

[@Dawsonsrailfanadventures74]

Will you be releasing this

[@Dante-oc9wh]

Hey Approach for your next project could you think of doing the CSX River Line? It runs from North Bergen, NJ to Selkirk, NY

[@ApproachMedium]

I would love to but someone else in JR is currently working on that route.

[@sch_ilis9928]

What is your favorite locomotive?

[@horacefithers6146]

Wow, that freeway overpass is completely gnarly, awesome, and over-the-top, too! The yard clutter looks great as usual. I'm really sorry about your job. I'm afraid that's likely to be the new normal for quite a while. On a slightly different topic, have you considered setting up an Approach Medium team at Folding@Home to help corona virus research? I think most of your readers have powerful enough computers to be a big help in the search for treatments and a vaccine.

[@MITracks]

Could of used wheels2 or PCS wheelsets

[@Ekiraly86]

Looks awesome.

[@kalecurry4923]

What road system did you use for that intersection?

[@dog_house875]

Is this map available yet?

[@duskeyduskey]

I think he's still working on it

[@Twin_Cities_Railfan]

Yay another Rochester division video

[@zogger5281]

Hi! Has any more progress been made on this layout? Thanks!

[@ApproachMedium]

Nah, I haven't touched this route in a few years now. It just became too overwhelming.

[@zogger5281]

@@ApproachMedium It is difficult. I tried awhile back and did not finish. Maybe I'll give a try with TZ2022. Thanks!

[@kamroyal9062]

This looks great

[@potatohead5910]

When will Episode 5 come out?

[@ApproachMedium]

Little ways off right now. I've hit a bit of builders block with the route plus Trainz 19 has been giving me issues with recording. Hope to get back soonish though.

[@Shaun.Khatch1]

Are most of your assets in the game from the game or downloaded from download station?

[@anthonysmith5857]

Can this be purchased at some point or not?

[@ApproachMedium]

When it’s done, yes. But we’re super far away from that

[@zogger5281]

Lookin' good!

[@Kmaster2007]

My only question, how doesn’t this make trending

[@nossta5242]

Because he doesn't have a large fan base, not a lot of people find this entertaining. If you ask me its kinda dumb you ask that.

[@RRBuilder611]

whats this coronavirus thing and why is it harming our beer

[@wisconsinrailfanner8963]

Nice! Also, how do you zoom in on TRS 19. Cause in tane, you had to do ctl zoom

[@ApproachMedium]

The key mapping changed so you just need to reset it in your settings.

[@thejerseyrailroader28]

When this is done it’s getting released on Trainz 2019 right?

[@ApproachMedium]

That's correct.

[@thejerseyrailroader28]

Approach Medium just to be sure the routes name is CSX Rochester Division correct?

[@devl1474]

Hey Approach Medium, I have a question, is it still worth it to make ts2009 routes in 2020?

[@ApproachMedium]

Definitely not. Time to upgrade at least to TANE.

[@devl1474]

Only if i had the money and a decent PC...

[@Glaze_TPF]

i saw your paint/texture direction changing randomly while you were using it. is that a setting available ingame?

[@ApproachMedium]

Use [ or ] to rotate the textures.

[@Glaze_TPF]

@@ApproachMedium ok thanks

[@MerrickWells]

New follower to your channel as I have been considering doing something very similar for UK TANE for a while. I totally feel you regarding long builds and esp. the move to TRANS DEM. You think it is going to make everything easier, it is a whole different jigsaw puzzle instead....If I have missed your explanation forgive me, but how do you do your cinematics and flyover videos?

[@ApproachMedium]

Just hide the compass, pick a nice angle and fly with a very steady hand. I don't use any tricks anyone else couldn't use.

[@MerrickWells]

@@ApproachMedium oh wow...deceptively simply then. Cheers. Enjoying your work, and loving the discovery of different jargon between UK and US.

[@Chasingrail]

Opening scene: oh shit

[@CSXRailfanfilms]

Nice video Joe, sorry about your job.

[@Juan_A_Garcia]

Excelente video!! Saludos.

[@capefeartrainsandsirens]

I’m back *Drinking coke and ready watch :-)*

[@locomotiveAlex1996]

I've been thinking for a while now that this game is crying out for a rotation snapping or application tool. Imagine being able to snap things to 90 degrees or apply an angle to a series of objects like all those old axles you did. for a world building system it seems like such and obvious tool that the game doesn't have.

[@ApproachMedium]

Yes! Or a way to key it in.

[@horacefithers6146]

Yet another really needed feature that N3V ignores... Sigh.

[@terryboldenjr.3555]

Awesome
