Tracks and Turnouts – SrrTrains

According to the findings of the rollercoaster project, I defined the basic track geometry of the “do-it-yourself-multiplayer-virtual-model-railroad” on X3D/VRML basis as follows.
Remark Jan 10: This track geometry is only an example. SrrTrains allows to replace it by another track geometry of your choice.

A…..starting point
B…..end point
I…..intermediate point
nomalA…..vector to define cross slope at point A
normalB…..vector to define cross slope at point B

Currently the coordinates of those vectors must be calculated and entered manually, but it is planned to use Blender as editor for the track layout.

If you would like to know more about the concepts for tracks and turnouts, please feel free to download the “Howto build my own SrrTrains tracks and turnouts” documents from the download area.

Vehicles will follow soon.

Multibrowser Support

Currently I’m trying to adapt my – unfinished – model railroad framework to support Octaga Player and Octaga Collaboration Server in addition to BS Contact and BS Collaborate.

I’m facing some problems, but I have decided to release the current state of the software on the download area (search for “step 0011″).

Feel free to try it out and to post your feed back.
