I though I'd pass this along, partly out of curiousity and partly to see if it would work for my fellow train-simmers.I often find that when I load an activity, particularly one with lots of detail, the train will move very sluggishly with lots of stutter. If I immediately quit out of the activity and reload it the train and details run far smoother.Has anyone else encountered this?Mr. Fred

Well I noticed that if i leave a activity on pause for a long time, or leave the home screen running for a hour or two, performance will be slow, and if I close out and restart, it will run fine. Thought it was just me, but I have experienced that too.

The same thing happens on my computer. Often times, when I first start an activity, performance is sluggish, but if I immediately restart the activity (or save and reload), then the performance is back to normal.John G

I found that if you run the route or activity, eventually it will smooth out on its own. Sort of like having you processors getting used to it. After that,Hey!Paul Watson
