My greatest frustration in creating routes is the difficulty of fixing bumps in the track. Let me be clear. I lay track, put a loco on it, and switch to Driver. I drive down the track and try to make notes about all the bumps and dips. But I'm working on a route that has 100+ miles of track, mostly desert and lots of curves, few landmarks. So when I return to Surveyor I have to search the general area inch by inch. Been doing this for at least six months, it's a major job, track still bad. (It's rough because it was from a fishlips map and the terrain just is what it is!)
I've installed mileposts, every mile, but they are too imprecise. A mile of track is a big stretch if you're looking very close for a flaw.
It would be wonderful if Trainz had a hot key in Driver that would (figuratively speaking) toss a beanbag out the cabin window. Said beanbag to settle on the terrain next to the track, and be visible in Surveyor. It seems like an obvious feature in such a complete and well thought out program. Of course it need not be a bean bag, how about a hot pink texture sprayed on the ground?
Anybody know of such a feature?
