I wouldn't say it's an sloppy design. The reason for this is to allow blended textures. Without this capability, you couldn't have grass blending into dirt and would have distinct blocks of textures instead. It's a trade-off for good or bad.

TS12 does not merge routes cleanly.

I think I read that 9 textures remain hidden underneath, after being covered over with the top #10 texture
I read that somewhere too, but it might have been in the old forum.
Yup. I can't remember who wrote it though.
It doesn't work anymore because the file format has changed for the routes since TS2009.

So, these hidden textures are unnecessarily creating undesired overhead on the game.

This proves newer isn't always better.

You would not have even noticed any of these problems if you hadn't been editing, and adding things, to other peoples routes, pushing the envelope of Trainz until it fails.
T:ANE is totally buggy, and is chock full of glitchs
TS12 is soon to be unsupported, and will have no future SP's
TS10 is abandoned, and is unsupported, and will have no future SP's
TS09 was a rushed out beta version on TS10, and is abandoned, and is unsupported, and will have no future SP's
TRS2006 was the most stable version, and worked flawlessly
Am I the only one who is seeing a downward spiral trend ?

The trouble is, not many young people into PC gaming are train buffs. Trains are pretty much for old farts as myself. This Trainz product has low market demand in the CORE regions of the world. Australia is 3rd world. That is why it was tossed together like a cheap salad. Low budget R and D. No American software firm would dare put out a new railroading program in this day and age. Microsoft ditched their train project back in 2004, I believe. Young gamers want soldiers, urban gang-banger scenes and alien space ships, not choo-choos.

Just what are the core regions of the world? Is Australia a Third World country? No and to call Australia that is an insult and only shows your ignorance. Trainz is screwed up because they've tried to turn a basic model railway simulator into a railway simulator making too many complications and glitches. I now prefer to use Train Simulator, no error fixing no hunting for dependencies and no crashes. Runs a whole lot better too. Oh yeah that was developed in the UK. Another Third World country.
I'd be a bit more inclined to agree with that if not for how all your posts sound like they were written by a spoilt, naive and narrow-minded teenager.

Good morning all, i have read this particular thread with much interest, since 1970, i've played around with Radio Shack Ti99 computers @6hz or something, blazing slow speed, fooled around quick basic program for model rr i had built, to do car routing, and it worked beautifuly, unfortunately life got busier and i didn't play with computers again till 1986, this time a 386sx, 32 bit,DOS 2.0 nope actually 16bit, was told they weren't true 32bit. Software was buggy, but if you were geekish, you might be able to do some work arounds?
Fast forward to 21st century, Win10, Mac Yosemite, Ipad, Android Phone, great things but they have their problems, do they not?
I started out with Trainz on my IPAd, had used Steam Rail Sim 5yrs ago, it was ok, but i wanted something more, didn't know, but since i found Trainz, i realize it was Route building, then i found other folks routes that i could play with,,, learned merging, but found cleanups were needed depending on what pieces were merged, and like people meeting other people, sometimes it doesn't work, oil n vinegar. So as they say, carefully tread, be aware of the risks. Also realize software is not perfect, no two computers r the same.
I had so many problems with Trainz on Ipad,
Then bought a brand new HP laptop, bought Trainz12, thought i was in heaven, only to find out, my Hard Drive writes too slow, Video Card can't keep up with large layouts, 100 boards or more, i corrupted my Trainz12 program, lost a lot work i had done, failed to backup my user folder, yup geeks like me screw up too...
LOLs.
Was ready to throw out both my Trainz software Programs and say forget, thought about it for 3-4 days, then tried to revive my Steam account, no luck here, decided ok im not going to let trainz beat me into failure, started reading thru this forum to gain answers, and a better understanding of the beast called Trainz, ruled by computers that lack all the right stuff.
Sorry so long winded, just safe to say, life is not perfect
nor r the machines or games we play. By the way i had to reinst both IPad n Laptop trainz due to corrupted game files, what do they say, experience is the best teacher, and Trainz has taught me so much, i am a humble person, so i do realize it will take some years and falling down on occasion as i learn how to live with my new Trainz, yes im backing up now.
PS i not planning on buying TANE for at least another YR i have enough issues with Version 12 n Trainz 2 for IPAD!
I bid you all a good day.
