How many trains can you have in a yard

[train20]

I whould like to know how many trains you can put in a yard at one time before the computer freeze and what is the most powerfull computer to handle all of the trains you have in a staging yard.

I had 500 cars and more in one yard at once, still 17FPS. But that depends on your PC...some freeze if you only add 60 cars

I have a yard that handles 8700 railcars ... I can not see how I could keep any more than 4 to 6 one hundered railcar trains in the yard before freezing my cheepo PC

Your PC may differ

You can add fake railcar splines, to make a yard appear full

Depends on many things

How good the LOD's are on the railcars, how many trains are running on the rest of the route. JR have a nice little script that deactivates the physics on uncoupled rail cars, but 600 to 800 cars in a top line i7 is doable, I've done 2,600 moving rail cars at one time not all in view though, but that's with very sparse scenery on the route. Today I can't get that many as I run few complicated scripts that seem to hog a bit more of the PC's resources, T2 should rectify this though
