Select scenery, Sort on build number they seem to be 5.6 build. To me the poly count seems fairly high but on the other hand they don't have the overhead of the speedtree engine rendering them. Cheerio John

When building Middleton for Laptops to run on an i5 series I noted that speedtrees had a major impack on frame rates with a 3D score of 350. Your CPU/GPU scores 4461 so you're on the lower end of the spectrum. I suspect speedtrees will run but only with a careful mixture of assets. Take a look...

Shourd we have something that steals overhead cables on electrified lines to make it more realistic? John

Clone kuid2:86627:100570:1 and call it copper. You may wish to change the mass etc. Look for assets that can be reskinned for coils. Cheerio John

The UK has demanded age verification for sites that contain images unsuitable for under 16 or is it 18? Trouble is many sites worldwide do not have age verification that the UK is happy with and no one in the UK government has gone through all the images to ensure that only suitable images are...

Very nice rolling stock but no LOD. Can these be hosted elsewhere? Currently only ciwl_wagon_lits_3540_lx and 2760 are there. Thanks John

But what the earlier versions did have was a lower barrier of entry for people making content. The impression I have is we have fewer content creators these days. Cheerio John

There is a discussion here : https://forums.auran.com/threads/win-11-alternatives.183030/post-2074294 about win 11 alternatives. Cheerio John

No just quite a few content creators have died over time, sometimes we can find the executors and ask nicely for permissions sometimes they leave permissions themselves but it takes time and effort to contact the relevant person and gain permission. Nawlins is one we managed to gain permission...

Which post? John

So you proposing that content I made in 2004 and hasn't been updated since becomes abandonware? I don't agree. I've seen content creators reappear after a break of years so you can't assume. Copyright exists in these items and should be respected. Cheerio John

If you have win 10 on a high end machine and it won't upgrade to win 11 then it's worth thinking about what the requirements are before buying new hardware. First win 10 and UNIX are considered roughly the equivalent in security circles. For secure communications ie internet banking a...

Open the route in Surveyor, create session, F7, select the loco place it on the track. Cheerio John

Ugreen make an external case for internal hard drives that plugs into a USB port. If you've been running on a UPS then I'd go the motherboard route but if you haven't then it's a matter of cross your fingers and pray nothing else is a problem. The cost of having someone replace the motherboard...

I suspect you'll need a copy of windows as well. For reliability in Windows you want a high volume mainstream motherboard. Do the sums and see if a refurbished dell tower workstation would work, transferring your GPU. I suspect you're spending a fair amount at the repair store. A 5820 would...
