hi everyone,
this may sound like a strange question however i would like to know how to build a route. im fairly new to msts so please be kind

thanks

A good start is to obtain Micheal Vones guide to route building.
Look for it here.
http://www.abacuspub.com/default_ts.html
It is a step by step guide.

thanks Mr Driver. seems like a good resource. i was wondering if there is a silimar free guide available

There are lots but none as comprehensive as this.
Without this Route editor is a painful torture process until you master the steep learning curve and even then it still bites from time to time.

Try the Tutorials on Steam4me

Look for route design and construction.

hi i had a look at the s4m totrials but every time i get to minamize three fold section msts locks up could any one help please

Try Running your desktop in 16bit color quality.
Some Graphics cards cause MSTS to play up whilst in RE or RGE.
I know mine does. Asus Nvidea 9800GTX 750 mb DDR3.
I do all my work in 16 bit and turn it back only when I test or play.

Russ, ditch Nvidia

Not at around 800$ for the card!
Plus I dont like ATI.
I have a box with 4 burnt out ones in the shed.

I have an Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT running at 32 bit with no problems.

Thats probably in the game.
Mind you the lowest I have seen framerates drop with this card is 43 FPS.
Runs Kurban at this.

Its when you select terrain to smooth it in RE and a few other things as well that RE is prone to quit.
I suspect RGE has hiccups with 32 bit as well as the tiles dont zoom properly in 32 bit.

I bought this card to Run Chrysis and COD4 with everything maxxed out and I can put up with a few display changes to work in msts.

I wish I could try this route out,
the down side of it is the framerate only goes as maximum as 15 FPS to 20 FPS . X-P

I blame it on Albury Computers for putting a 512MB ram instead of the original 2.5GB ram i original had when i got this computer.

I'll get the route when i get more ram onto my PC

thank every one but how do u change the picture qulity

it still dident work it jus locked up agin

Ok exactly at what step is it locking up.
Use Spell check and be precise with your answer as we cannot read minds.

every time i hit generate flagged tiles msts locks up

Gentlemen this has me stumped. I have never had this happen and just when I thought I had seen it all.

Any suggestions?

hi i got it to work. i think the problem was it was trying to make to many tilesbut now I have another problem. When i press route editor start tile, it says route editor start tile update and doesn't do anything.

You might not have created a start tile.

Go back into RGE.
Open the route.
Open the quadtree.
Left click on a tile that you want to be the start tile.
Now right click select create new start tile or something like that then save.

what dose rge mean

Route geometry extractor.

where is that

It's in the Train Simulator Editors and Tools program, under Cab Editor.

Its the same program you used to create the tiles.

ok thanks
