    Optimizing a Route (or ... what makes a slow asset?)

    I am putting the finishing touches on a route and I am noticing that at certain points there is a intense graphical slowdown. In one particular part it is a relatively free of objects but is much slower than other, more heavily cluttered areas. Cutting down rendering distance does nothing to...

    Oops ... be careful when replacing assets

    So a few revisions back I was upgrading all my signals and switches. Rather than using the default Auran switches I was going to use one of the switch machines on the DLS. I then proceeded to spend another week completely redoing a small section. It was then I noticed that not just some, but all...

    Deleting Cameras

    Is there a way to delete ALL of the cameras in a route? The original author of the route I'm editing liked placing a camera every 50 feet or so. It's so disorienting I never use it, but I would like to eventually. The route is quite long so it seems the easier thing will be to delete them all...

    The Angry 0.2m

    I've noticed that, going back over previous track-work, some of my track seems to be floating 0.2m above the ground. I am pretty sure that this is track that I had set the spline height and used the smoothing tool on. I hadn't noticed it until recently since I use the MP-Wood track. The sides of...

    Long Rivers and DEMs

    I've been looking through some of fishlipsatwork DEMs, spending a significant time on the Mohawk-Albany-Binghamton <kuid2:59012:103143:1> mega-line. The DEM has around 70 miles of the Mohawk river. While trying to see how to lay prototypical track around this river I noticed that the river is a...

    Lots of Intermediate Questions for a New Surveyor

    So I'm almost finished with my first route and last night I was able to run my session for about two hours with periodic attendance to see how the AI was handling it. I've got passenger trains starting from each end every 20 minutes for now). A few questions came up as I watched bottlenecks...

    Erie Lackawanna?

    I'm having a hard time finding any EL stuff. There is a reasonable amount of Erie stuff but I can't really use it if I want a late 60s timetable. In the DLS I've only found a pair of SD45s, and RS3, an SW7 and a pair of GP39s. EL never even owned any GP39s, so maybe I can tool with the skins and...

    Track direction

    I've been reading the tips and tricks thread, which is quite long. Some of those posts are a few years old so I'm not sure if their suggestions apply to TS2009. One of the suggestions is that the direction in which you lay track is important because the AI prefers track laid in their direction...
