Thanks for all the helpful replies.I'd like to get all of them eventually,but for now,just one.I settled on and have just ordered West Somerset.I'd still like to get SVR but the framerate issue puts me off.Even though I have a fairly high end PC I have my settings high and antialising and antistropi...

All of these will have been used by the communit...

Thanks David.So that means I don't have to alter anything,I can just set the two A'S on my video card when I've installed my new drivers.

A great little route.

Most of you probably already have this route, but for those who don't I highly recommend giving it a try.I have Ron (moofy chops ) to thank for putting me on to it 18 months ago and I still use it regularly.It's perfect for people on dial up because it's only a 7mb download and turns into a 167mb ro...

Do you have to find the command line ingame and turn it off or alter it somehow before setting antialiasing etc on your video card.I'm confused,in flightsim there is an ingame option that you can tic or untic. Terry

There are command-line switches in the game... ...Train Simulator\train.exe /fsaa /anisotropic ...but these will only set each to 2x strength respectiviely (I use 6x FSAA and 16x AF). The best way is to forget about those switches and force anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering with the video car...

Thanks for the information.It's a Ge Force FX5700 ULTRA only installed last week with the latest drivers, and my PC is a Pentium4 3ghz with a gig of ram.I checked and am running Direct x 9.0. I've no idea what's causing the problem. Terry

Huge Graphics improvement with strange side effects.

I've always been happy with my graphics in MSTS except for the jagged lines,particularly on the rails when viewed from different angles. Because there is no ingame control for antialiasing and antostropic,at least none that I'm aware of and because Flightsim for some reason won't start unless these ...

Just copy the MSTS folder and keep it somewhere safe. Or if you want to be slightly more carefull about it and safe a bit of space and maybe time. Copy the trains and route folders and the tsection.dat file. Thats probably enough to let you revert back what ever you have broken. I checked in my Xtr...

Wupper Express 8

I can't get over just how good this route is,it's completely transformed my trainsimming experience.What I can't understand is that although this route has 2 or even 3 times as much scenery and detail as any of my other Routes,21 of them,the Framerates are so much better and the stuttering is almost...

I've missed something in Trainstore

Two of my routes Antwerpen Brussel and Wupper Express 8 don't have any activities yet but worked without any problems in Explore Mode. I've just installed Trainstore and have noticed big improvements in loading times and also some improvements in performance.However,despite reading the documentation...
