Hi Kernow2

Just one little comment, it's not Bab's route, it's mine, I have build it, every kilometer of it.

And a truly amazing route it is. Is that it or is there yet more to come in the future - there must be some of Denmark you haven't done yet!!

@ Kernow2

Freeram XP doesn't work with Vista - or so other forums say

S'funny, works on vista and windows 7! I used it when i had vista and am currently running it on W7 64 bit ultimate.

Running on Win 7 64bit and have run in past on Vista 32 bit.

Well only time will show that. For the moment I'm taking a breake from routebuilding, I'm working on other projects. More to come about that later.

Hi guys,

I have the same problems as you. My system is an XP 32bit, 2.2 dual CPU, and 9600GT with 512Mb video card.
I find this route the very best at the moment, because there are lots of freight yards, what is my top priority.
so I tried to make it run, let me tell you my opinion:

1. Turn off any kind of shadows (hi, and low detail as well), and procedural flora. without this I couldn't even load the route.
2. Turn down view distance, at least to medium
3. Turn down particle density to low

at this point you'll lost all benefits of railworks :/ , but able to play!

4. turn down any unnecessary quality (passengers, water, etc, as you wish)

I tried to modify scenery detail level, but it didn't help for me.

with these settings I can play, but still many SBH-messages.

I think forests eats memory. And grass fields as well. I show you a screenshot, on which you can see what I mean:

there are many forest and grass field objects at the distance from where you hardly notice the train. I think those are unnecessary, and waste of resources. I think a big box with forest texture is enogh at that distance.

what do you think?

Hi,
As reported earlier I don't think you can really run this route on a 32 bit system - it needs too much memory to load.
SBHH messages are very often related to lack of system resources (memory). I suppose it's possible to turn everything down/off and get it to load?
I have two completely separate stand alone drives.
I like to run the game with pretty much everything turned up - I like the eye candy , which is why I enjoy Railworks so much. I get SBHH errors on WCML and Wales and Borders on the 32 bit hard drive but not on my 64 bit Vista/dedicated Railworks drive which I set up to test and explore any differences/benefits in upgrading to a 64 bit Windows 7 o.s. PC soon.
So my conclusions are that I need at least 4Gb of USEABLE RAM to run N.E. - a view which seems to be supported by some other users.
Personally I wouldn't enjoy running the game at low end settings - but that's just me.
Regards,
