    Hi everyone.

    I am a bit of a slow learner :p:Do_O so this took a while to get enough information to help.

    Special thanks to Redapg, WooChoo, Corti, Bernd and others who helped. Redapg took the time to write a long answer and I got it finally.

    Anyway, here is a video to help those others who may have trouble getting these to work etc. In this video I have used the Nola start guy and placed him in the start tower. Works well and I will do some more work on QR in the near future.

    This will help with Gnoo Blas as I want to add cows and horses in the fields.

    Thanks again for the help. Really appreciated it.

    Great Video Mike. :)
    May i add 2 Hints?
    When you take the XYZ Coordinates from where the Mesh shall be positioned, you should take them as close as possible.
    As you've said, it's a bit of a Pain to Position Meshes in 3DSimEd.
    So in your Case, you should have rightclicked directly in the Box and not below of it at the Gras.
    And the 2nd Thing is, how to get the Textures that the Mesh uses.
    If you take a Mesh from a Track, where the gmt and Textures are in different Folders, move the Mesh into the Folder where the Textures are.
    If you now load it into 3DSimEd, you can directly export the Textures now.
    But as said, great Video!

    Don't forget to fence around them so they can't run around on the track. :D
