The latest Buffalo route I see by Teemu Saukkonen is Beta 2 from 2009 in the Train Sim Library. Is that the newest one that you know of? I thought there was a new one because of your recent release Mega Buffalo Set. I have the Beta 2 version but need to re-download it so I wanted to be sure that is the latest one.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

I released the Buffalo set in anticipation of the release of Teemu's route. As far as I know it still has not been released.

The beta is the only released version I know of.

I will see if I can get an update.

Thanks

Rick

Thanks Rick for your update. I will just "hurry up and wait" for it. The old version is pretty nice and am anxious to start working on it, but don't want to if the new version isn't compatible.

I just checked in at the Skyline Computing forum. Teemu continues to make changes to the route, which means that Denis Gionet has had to scrap a lot of the work that he has done in creating activity templates. This update is from January 20, 2013:

Hi to all,

Just to confirm that the route project is not dead but slowly advancing on Teemu's side.

It has been more than two months without any update until this week-end. Teemu has sent me the Beta 843 route update, from the previous beta 837. It contains many changes to the route, including some resolved issues, mostly around the Black Rock yards, some changes in the North Buffalo area and inside the Bethlehem Steel plant.

Sidings have been deleted, others were created and some were renamed. Looking at the AE using the old template files ( made for 837) reveals about 15 markers have been out of position.

Unfortunately, with all these changes, it becomes too complex to update. For those not familiar with template making, it is becoming a nightmare to work with both the SWLACT, SWLTDB and the AE. It is too complex for me to handle so many changes.

That will mean that I will have to restart the template process, but not completely. The first 375 markers, being put starting in Niagara and moving South until the Black Rock Yards area seem to be untouched, so far, unless Teemu makes changes on them on later versions. Time will tell. The number of serviceable sidings in the route is about 1050.

So that's it for now. I will probably wait for Teemu's official release and also will need Craig's finished maps of the official release before resuming the template. Craig is also receiving the route files to allow him to update his map system. Craig's maps were very helpful in reaching that level I have reached. I must re-establish the regions, about 100 in the template package and will need Craig's printed maps from the new version, circle each region with coloured markers and rework the template.

Will update later


Still no release date

Rick

Great news Rick! At least I know that there is something active on the drawing board. Thanks for sharing this update.

Jim
