I've managed to get a route picture installed for my route in TS2014. I was wondering if anybody has been successful in adding a route description in TS2014? All the information I've been finding about the subject is outdated.

You have to edit it from the route's folder, that's all I know.

I did edit the routes HTML description file with a HTML editor but I'm not sure at this point if that did the trick.

You just need to edit the (route folder)/RouteInformation/EN/Description.html using Notepad or any other text editor.
It looks like very basic html to me:

Code: Select all: <HTML> <BODY BGCOLOR="#000000"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD> Hagen to Siegen History: The route from Hagen to Siegen was built between 1858 and 1861 by Bergisch-Markische Eisenbahn. The need for this came from a requirement to transport coal from the Ruhr-area to the steel mills around Siegen more efficiently. Largely following the river Lenne, once south of Altenhundem it passes over several flood plains on its route to Siegen. The mainline is used mostly by freight trains to carry wood, coal and steel and was the most important reason behind the growth of the line. This resulted in an expansion to two tracks in 1870 to cope with the growing traffic volumes. From the beginning, Altenhundem was the only passenger station in the Lenne-valley and had its own maintenance depot. This was later followed with further stations at Finnentrop and Letmathe, which also gained depots to look after rolling stock. For a long time, the route from Hagen to Siegen was a main connection between the Ruhr area and Frankfurt. Traditional stops for fast trains were established at Hagen, Letmathe, Altena, Finnentrop, Altenhundem, Kreuztal and Siegen. Sadly though, other more prominent connections around Germany have since been developed and this winding valley line has begun to decline. Many of its smaller yards and workshops to maintain trains have closed and now lay derelict. Focus Time Period: Chosen for its mixture of Freight and Passenger operation, this route has been constructed around the period of the late 90s. </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>

With an html editor, you could easily add a few pictures too.

Yes, this is what I did but I haven't seen it in the game yet. Maybe when I make a scenario it will show.

Yes, if you have , for example, a freeroam scenario, then you should see the route information by choosing Drive / Free Roam / Change (in middle) / Info.
If you can make your route show up in the collection, then you click on the little train icon on your route's image, then Change (in middle) / Info.

This is IMHO a very weird interface, but what can we do.

I just checked, I have do have a free roam scenario but the route description doesn't show. Hmmm, I must of done something wrong.
