In the projects area you can find a link to download a Word template (version 2010 or later) for the easy creation of a scenario manual, for the Turin Bardonecchia route.

The model has dialog windows in English only, but the manual are in English, French or Italian, by selecting the model with the corresponding suffix (ENG, FRA, ITA).
You will also find a video tutorial on how it works.
For the best functioning, the scenario creator must fill in all the required fields during the creation itself, such as description, author, etc.

For installation, the advice is to copy the template and the “Doc Template” folder to a secure and non-erasable folder during Windows updates. The reason is that there is a small text database with the name and download link of some Italian rolling stock. This “database” is used to speed up the introduction of the necessary rolling stock by not requiring manual entry at all times. If it is necessary, for sure often at the beginning, to add rolling stock not contained in the database, these will be saved in the text file and used the next time.

The main functions are the choice of a front page image to replace the default one, the detection of the To-Ba scenarios in the PC (or the choice of the scenarioproperties.xml file if the manual is created in a different PC), the selection of the meteo status

The macro will introduce in the manual automatically the title, description, author, season, duration, difficulty, start time, diagram of the route, rolling necessary with download link.

I think it can be useful to help those who download the scenarios to have an idea of ​​the content and materials needed without losing too much time.

Note: for those who have created particularly interesting scenarios, you can contact me via email for a possible publication on this site.
