Hi
A couple of UMTS tile questions:
UMTS = Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
UTM = Universal Transverse Mercator
Quote:
1) Do you have to remove them manually one by one (i have 101 of them) or is there another way?
Currently there is no explicit removal function on the TransDEM side. What you can try: Delete all UTM tiles for the route in Trainz Content Manager and there may be a function to discard the now "missing dependencies".

2) If you do remove one - can you add them again or would I have to do that automatic? And how would I know where to add which in that case?
UTM tile usage consists of two parts: The UTM tile object itself and its reference in the route file. You could place the UTM tile manually with the help of the UTM grid lines but you would rather let TransDEM do that. TransDEM will usually create a new object, too. You can fine-tune TransDEM behaviour by telling it what to do with existing tiles in the export dialog window.

I tried to add with the menu in Transdem 2.0 but I got an error that told me that the baseboards had been altered (I had added my own track to it) and then it removed all my track - is there any way to avoid that?
Was it this message?
"This export function will be applied to a Trainz map which may have changed since it was created with TransDEM or may not have been created at all with TransDEM Trainz Edition 1.2 or above. Continuing with this export may lead to unexpected results. The export function may abort prematurely and abnormally or may not place objects at the desired locations." This is a general warning since TransDEM has no control on proceedings in Trainz Surveyor and Content Manager. So if results are not as expected it's not always the fault of TransDEM.

3) I can't get the UMTS to look good in Trainz 2010 - I have to use 2009. Is there any setting that I need to make in 2010 to make them appear? The tiles are there but the texture doesn't look as it should.
Texture not sharp enough or garbled?
Garbled could be the well-known hardware compression issue, introduced with TS2010. You can try to switch this feature off in Trainz Content Manager. Insufficient sharpness could be either low image resolution, low scale or low texture texture resolution.
