I just answered my own question.

Tutorial 4 tells me now to get map tiles.

Let me try that.

Still learning,

To answer a few of your suggestions.

I used 1:24000 scale.
My map for the Muengsten tutorial was exactly like the picture, except I didn't have the area shown on page 54 with all the black detail. Used Wireframe, still nothing.

I committed all the UTM tiles to Trainz. The "commit" was greyed out ...

Thanks Jerker,

If I could get a map like the one you show in your post, I would be more than please. I could work with this.

If I zoom in to the level you show, I get nothing but brown smudges here and there with no definition at all.

I agree that I must be missing something somewhere.

I'll try ...

geophil & T8DaGr8,

I really appreciate the comments that both of you made.

Please understand that I'm new to all this. I've only had Trainz a couple of weeks, although I've used MSTS for years and have several years expierence building routes. Everything is different here and I've still got a lot ...

It seems you missed the intent of my post. I can assure you that I have studied the manuals and tutorials numerous times, but the answer seems to be that it is impossible to get a crisp, sharp image of the raster file the way that TransDem presently works.

If so, would ...

I am trying to replicate the Lancaster & Chester exactly as it is, so if a trainman from the L & C would use it he would know exacltly where he is.

A sharp image map would greatly help in placing roads, streams, buildings, etc., but it seems this is not ...

On the front page of the TransDem Trainz Edition manual is a picture that shows all the detail as sharp, clear and readable. If I pull up one of the .tga files in PhotoShop is clear and legible.

However, my map that I exported to is hardly legible. It's hard to identify roads, streets and even ...

Thanks Geophil,

Okay, you've answered my next question.

There is a 15 mile route that branches off my main line and I wanted to add that. I did not draw the polyline over this part when I did the original.

So, check me on this to see if I am right.

I delete the files in my UserData\editing ...

OK. I have completed the Muengsten tutorial and everything worked out fine.

Had some trouble with the Content Manager. When I clicked "Open For Edit" the two files weren't there. I clicked "Today" and they appreared. I selected the 3 files and clicked Edit. The Commit function was greyed out. I ...
