Is the Tram Reverser now really needed because their is a rule to reverse trams?

As the title says, is a tram reverser now really needed because of a Reverser Rule?

I'm asking because it might okay to replace the object with a track spline. The only issue I found is that if you do (as a test), the track may not end up straight, depending on how you fill the space in.

Not really - I've taken it out of any routes I've put it in...

Why it's not a very large object, does getting rid of it, and replacing with spline track improve the frame rates - and also where can I get frame rates in numbers?

Seems I have overlooked this item. Kind of curious about what it does in practice. Although working on a rail project I still have a giant tramway based on what was here in Glasgow until 1962. I know some English cities way back had loops at a terminus and up here it was a case of reversing onto the other track with the driver walking to the other end in reality. Because of that I put in an invisible loop at every terminus. Not very realistic I'll grant you but thought it practical. Also have a set of all of Silversmith's excellent Glasgow trams. Help my curiosity.

What's wrong with the tram reverser? It works a treat for me even in AI..

And again we have people twisting what was said. Where did ANYONE say that their is something wrong with the tram reverser?

At Rjhowie, see the link, or search on the download station for "Tram Reverser"

Twisting what was said? Really? He asked a question about the item in question. I'd prefer him to ask it here than to start a new thread
