I'll do it too, if it's not too late. Couldn't reply fast because of time zone differences.

Added you to the group and forwarded the instructions.
Ok guys and girls,
First of all, I want to thank N3V for letting me test a fix.
I've just tested a fix from N3V, and even though this is only just my experience with it, what I can say is, the fix has fixed all of my redraw and performance issues! It was an immediate and massive improvement.
Again, this is only my experience but N3V has restored my faith in them, as it's not only fixed the redraw and performance issues, but the performance also seems a lot better.
I have been very harsh on N3V in this forum thread, mostly because Trainz seemed to be going backward, and, I had to reinstall one of my installed copies (luckily, I have several installs of different builds on my PC) which takes a long time to do but I'm very happy to take back most, if not all that I said. They seem to have done a great job on the fix!
To sum up, things are looking good with the fix, and performance seems to have improved too. I hope others have the same experience and results.

Good to see the fix is fixing things.
I wonder whether with a little more time, and a little more attention to the feedback on the release candidate, N3V could have avoided the situation altogether?

The patch is (currently) only for the Trainz Plus (Windows) and TRS22 (Windows) versions.
I am impressed. I just went back to a route <kuid2:214658:101010:1> Aylesbury to London Marylebone (Updated) originally reported by @paulper as a problem in SP6.
Ran the original (unedited) route with all the tree splines and billboard trees planted everywhere and there were no rendering or FPS issues in the updated patch.
Thanks @pware . Can report likewise for this route in build 132284, but don't have data to compare before and after FPS.
For my own very detailed route, the re-drawing issue has gone, but FPS is down around 10-15%, particularly in areas that have many Speedtrees. I've made no edits to the route yet, and shall do some further testing later including disabling the Speedtrees. I don't use billboard trees or tree splines so already know these aren't an issue in my route, but on the whole, this looks promising.
I do not know if it will make any difference but I have replaced most of my SpeedTrees with the new Plant Factory equivalents (where direct substitutes were available). The PF trees use less memory than their SpeedTrees counterparts.
I will upload my sagebrush assets tomorrow as i want to see if the new build wrecks them , by adding a mod and lod we reduced the triangle count from the millions down to 77 ,000. A number of jvcs older grass groups also caused issues in sp5 if one uses the 2019 fix versions from the dls they solved a myriad of issues.
Thank you, Dan. I'm sure they'll be fine in SP5... SP6, well that's another ball of wax all together.

Count me in as I'd like to test my Midwestern Rails route to see if performance is fixed.

Obsolete assets usually don't cause a problem, but they do take up space. Sometimes there may be a problem with scripted assets, but this is rare.
Your best bet is to delete the obsolete assets.
