if your pc is dule core with at least 3gig of ram and a graphics card with at least 512mb of ram it should run most routs quite well. Check to see if your preferences have the cash set to 512mb to see if that helps it defaults to 32mb.

I do not know how to post trainz settings but I have changed them soo many times. the only thing I did not do is change the trainz particule effects is set at the highest for real smoke from engines and factories. I might need to update direrct x and graphics driver. see if that helps. graphics driver has not been updated since I got this computer in feb of 09. and same for direct x. but makes no difference if I'm in open gl or direct x still waveyin suveyor and in my layouts.

tony had a good idea

hello tony my graphics card is 1gb. I'm thinking 1 gb sould do almost anything the game puts out. but I will try this out and let you know. how do I access cashe so I cansee if needs to be changed to 512 mb and then default to 32mb. 32mb seems kind of low for a game like this high in graphics and high in ground detail.

can someone check this out: went to system click on adveance the clikck on" performance option" came up with this.

memory useage: programs; system cache ( radio button next to "programs" is checked, does "system cache" needs to be checked)?

virtual memory: page file size is 2046mb

Sorry for the tardy response, only just noticed your thread. Try adding the line

-vsync=1

to your trainzoptions.txt file. This file is in the c:/Program Files/Auran/T***** folder (where T***** depends on your Trainz version). It can be edited with NotePad (its a good idea to take a backup copy before playing around to much with it)

We may be interpreting the problem incorrectly. If the scene looks jumpy in driver, it could be that it isn't a video problem. It might be the track itself. When I was first doing my layouts, I often didn't get the track smooth. Short pieces might be at harsh angles, or horrible slopes. I couldn't see them easily in Surveyor, but when in the cab it was like a rickety roller coaster.

So rather than fiddling with video settings, try working on the track with the straightening tool and gradient checking.

Certain locomotives (PRR SD-45) make my PC framerates absolutely crawl. Grass also is a likely culpret, secondary is dense trees effecting framerates.
Certain high poly tracks create in Gmax will cause bad framerates.

MP, WRRW, and VMD tracks seem to work fairly well.
