Railworks America

Hello everyone I have a problem with the train simulator classic when creating a place called Saukville in Wisconsin

I press CTRL+G to show the Map and The Blue Circle stays charging for a Long Time

what will be the problem that never happened to me in TS2016

Is this a route you are building right now?

I don't know if it will be a Problem with the Google API KEY Map

Hi,

I've just tried this in my copy of (freshly updated) TSC and the GE Overlays are working fine here.

Have you already checked if Railworks.exe is allowed to access the internet on your PC? Maybe it got blocked by your Firewall (Defender or whichever program you're running).

If it's not that, I suspect the issue to be related to the API key, though this is purely speculation on my part.

Cheers,
Michael

I Think The problem is billing I didn't know that Google had done that

Has the Google Earth overlay worked for you in the past, or is this the first time you are using it?

Regarding Google requiring a method of payment for API projects, I can assure you that you don't get charged for the amount of usage that we do building routes in this game.

It worked for me once and it was with TS2016 but I lost my Old Email

I think until TS2016 you did not need to add a payment method.
Just create a new account at google, set a payment method and create a new API key.
The process is a bit different to the past, but resembles to the old method.

They don't know if there is another way to create a place from a saved google earth image and convert it for the game to be able to make that Place

Recently I have created decals to place around Pueblo (want to update Tennessee Pass).
This was necessary as I have to adjust my corrections to the existent tracks, which were something like ...

Take screenshots in google maps when it shows a scale of 20m.
On my screenshots this scale was 85 or 87 pixels long (without and with outline).
Combine these screenshots in Gimp, Photoshop.
Save squares of 2048x2048 pixels as bmp (merge layers first).
Convert these bmps using RWAcetool.
Create a decal blueprint with the BPE:

Export.

Thanks
