Toolman Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Please, where on earth can the Rollins Pass Route be found?? I see it talked about here, and on Auran, but only one very old link exists to the old Trainzitalia site. I can't find it in Downloads here. Somebody else asked the same question on a post but never got an answer. Is it a secret? Tim Link to comment
DennR Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 The route and sessions are currently being updated with some replacement rolling stock and fixes to assets that are made faulty by updates to Trainz. The new version will be added to the download section on TZIT when complete. Link to comment

Joey the A3 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Will the route and sessions still be available for Trainz 2012 after being updated or be TRS19/22+? Link to comment
UP844 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 No, the route was made in Trainz: A New Era (T:ANE) and so it cannot be compatible with TS12. Moreover, some of the dependencies are only compatible with T:ANE and later versions. It is fully compatible with TRS19 and 22, however. Link to comment
kd8tzc Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Any update on when this will be available again so I can use it? Link to comment
UP844 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 The Rollins Pass should be released again in Spring 2023. Link to comment
kd8tzc Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Okay, so the one I see online to download here, not compatible with TRS19? Link to comment
UP844 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 The only U.S. route available for download here is the "Sherman Hill 2.1a", which was made in TS12 build 61388. It should work in TRS19, with the exception of some assets. We plan to release an updated version but unfortunately real life has its ways to interfere with our beloved hobby. The update of the Rollins Pass route does not only involve uploading the old files: a substantial amount of work has been carried out to remove all the bugs reported by users when the first version was released and to make the route as faithful as possible to the Rollins Pass area in the 1910s.

kd8tzc Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Understand. Thanks. Just surprised the old one is not available. Edited December 22, 2022 by kd8tzc Link to comment
UP844 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 When we released the old Rollins Pass, we tried to keep the number of CDP files as low as possible. This meant to pack lots of content in each CDP, as they contained many custom-made structures for the various settlements along the route, as well as the entire locomotive and rolling stock roster for the D&NWP. We received many complaints from U.S. users who had trouble downloading these huge CDP files (1+ GB). We then decided to re-package them in more manageable size and to give the route a thorough refit, adding new features that had come to light since the original release. Unfortunately, researching a route - and the land it runs through - as it was in 1915 is not as easy as getting information from Google Earth about the Sherman Hill in 2022. Link to comment
kd8tzc Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Understood. Is the old route (1+GB) still around someplace though? I'd love to try and download it (has to be better than downloading content from the Trainz Content Manager do-hicky that takes you back to the early 1990's with dial up modem speed downloads). I've been trying to download all the missing items from one of the scenarios that will work with Sherman Hill and it is painful using the content manager.

uplou Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 How can I purchase the sherman hill for trainz 19 when it comes out? Link to comment

cheesecakemaster2012 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I have also looked for the route and It's rolling stock. But now it is 2024, and I still have not found them. Could someone point me in the right direction where you can get them? Link to comment
DennR Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The route and sessions were updated in May 2022 and unfortunately TZIT have not been able to upload them. It is not in my gift to release them through any other site but I will message Chris Gerlach and ask he he can think of any way we can release them because the update is compatible with TRS19 and TRS22.

cheesecakemaster2012 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Thanks DennR, I just wanted to know what was going on because I last heard it would come out in Spring 2023. Link to comment
UP844 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The route is undergoing some final tests and will be released in a very short time. Link to comment
