Making a new activity question

Post by ColinReece »

I've recently got back in to MSTS and started to add a few new activities to my routes, sometimes I like to make a route/activity as I look along the track in the editor then decide I want the route to run from A - F for example.
The thing is it asks for a name and where to run to and from before I know, If I have a map then I can invent from that but on some routes there is no map so I have to look at the track to see what places are there, then sometimes the track bends off before it gets to the place I want so I have to change destination etc/

Is there a way to print off the route from the editor or how do you guys do it?

I use the Rail Atlas of Britain 1977 by S K Baker to provide me with place names not shown on the route plan in Activity Editor. You can put anything you like in the start and finish boxes and edit them later when you have finished the path. Dave.

Hi Colin,

Good luck

Thanks Fellas, I did as you said and edited it later, I thought it might have thrown an error doing that but you were right.
