Wow thanks!! It's a pity for the second engine! ;( well I hope that someday someone could figure out how to do this. Anyway I will release this, even if it's not a realistic mod it looks good into the game as a replacement for Maxis' train. Regarding the blueish window I used a photo (taken from a bridge above the train) of the real train as texture, it is the reflection of the sky. Thought it would look good in the game too as it looks this way in real life. Another question, how do I add nightling effect? Thanks for support!

Hi there! I've finished my work on the model of the "Minuetto" from Trenitalia. I successfully modeled the engine and the car. This is the result: Now here comes my problem, I want it to look as the real minuetto, made of an engine, a car and another engine in the opposide direction. I want to make something realistic, there is no minuetto, as far as I know, that is made of just an engine and several cars. How can I teach the game to put another model at the end of the train? Is it possibile? More picture of the minuetto: This is Palermo Punta Raisi metro station (airport) with two minetto waiting to depart: This is another minuetto approaching Francia metro station in Palermo: Greetings from Italy! Ciao!

Wow! Thanks a lot! It didn't expect such a good impression about my work. Anyway I could release it in two version in the same archive, one with three carriage (for realism) and another with the classic train look. It's my first model, hope to finish soon so I will release it here. What about the textures? I modeled it with 256x256 texture, what about 512x512 bitmap? Should I use it to improve quality or will it slow down the game too much?

Hi All! I'm making a model for the Italian train "Minuetto" (ALe/ALn 501-ALe/ALn 502), it's a train made of three carriage (as seen on picture). It comes in two flavors (diesel and electric). Here in Italy it rides in metro and suburban areas, in subways in certain cities and it's also used in regional transport. I modeled the engine and successfully imported it into the game. I'm working on the second carriage. My question is: how can I teach the game to show just those three carriage in the game. You can find out more about the Minuetto here (in Italian)

Thanks for your help, I will post something about my project soon. For now I solved the problem with Virtual PC, I created a virtual machine running Win98, installed the .NET Framework and runned Fishman from there, all worked fine but quite annoying! Will try Datgen soon, I'll let you know!

Hi! Is there an alternative to fishman out there? I'm developing a 3D model for an Italian train, I'm almost done I made the models the textures and all but I can't manage to run fishman on Windows Vista so I'm stuck. Please help me, I'm not asking about support for a Microsoft software (like on this thread: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=24&threadid=91227) I just want an alternative to fishman to edit fsh files. Thank you

Oh I see, well it's pity because I'm building a city similar to Las Vegas and it could have been nice to have that Luxor pyramid in the skyline, too bad. Thanks a lot for your patience!!
