I apologize in adance for what probably is a knucklehead question - but
Using the terrain editor, I made a map that uses many terrain height and texture changes. It loads and saves in the terrain editor fine.
The problem I have is that it will not show up in the game with the terrain changes.
The new ciities, industries and other items like this do show up when I load the saved file but not the height or texture changes.
I used a lot of snow in the map and also have numerous terrain height changes that really make the map.
Can anyone offer advice on what I need to do to get my user created map to be available in the game?
Thanks in advance
Help with user made map
I'm not sure what you did wrong but here is what you do to create a new user map. Open terrian editor. Pick create a new map. Give it a name and save. It saves in UserMaps folder by default. Pick a size for the map. I would suggest the 100x100 default for a beginner. Make your map. Save your map. Go to main menu and pick single player. Scroll thru the avalible maps until you see a user created map that looks like the one you made. Hope that helps you.

GregD - go into C:\Documents and Settings\ (your computer name) \My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads!\UserMaps. Here you should find 2 items with the name you gave your map. The first is a folder, the second is a file that ends .SMR_Scenario with your map name at the beginning. If you are still having problems opening it, Zip it and upload it and I or someone else will look into it.
