README FOR:  SRVBins1.zip and the archived contents.

WARNING!!! Although I am generally using a route standard naming for .ace .s and .sd file. I am Not responsable if you accidently overwrite an existing .ace, .s, or .sd file and screw up your route. If in doubt, back up your textures and shapes file before installing. Other shapes using the SRV_ prefix from my submissions may share the same ace textures and will not be affected if they are overwritten

Contents: Assortment of grain storage bins and tin animal barns for use in MSTS. Included are the TSModeler parts and textures for customizing by route builders.


to install:
1: unzip to a temp folder with "use folder names" on.

2: go to folder where you unziped the files to and copy and paste the .s and .sd files from the Shapes folder to the Shapes folder of the route you wish to use them in.

3:  go back to folder where you unziped the files to and copy and paste the .ace  files from the Textures folder to the Textures folder of the same route (as in step2).

4: Optional for TSModeler users, Place the contents of the folder TSMparts in a location where TSModeler can find it.

5: Optional for TSModeler users, Place the contents of the folder TSMtexture in a location where TSModeler can find the enclosed textures.

6: BACKUP the .REF file for the route (normaly ROUTE-NAME.ref  EG: marias.ref) to a safe place.

7: go to folder where you unziped the files to and open "Barnsandsilos.ref" with WORDPAD and copy and paste ALL THE TEXT from  barnsandSilos.ref to the .ref file of the route REMEMBER TO SAVE IT AS "UNICODE TEXT".

The parts will be found in the "Barns" class.

Included are an assortment of various size grain bins found on many farms. Also included are several sizes of tin animal sheds with feeders in both rusty and new tin. A large assembly grain elevator modeled after the enclosed pic is also included. A sample chain link fence is included.

Due to the complex and varied nature of layouts of family and corporate farm grain storage setup, it is recommended that the route builder has access to TSModeler to create the large custom layout. It is not possible to connect all of the bins with lift tubes otherwise. The elevator is not a RE part but is included in the TSModeler raw parts along with raw tubes for connecting it to the grain bins. Feel free to resize bins as needed as they come in many sizes and heights.

Such complexs will result in high poly counts when a lot of bins are in use. Therefore, for better performance in MSTS, it is recommended that polygon smoothing is turned off.
