CHECK THE DATES, do not replace the file if the version you currently have has a later date!
Note this is the default path, the CER folder is not stored within the zip, so if you click on the button with the 3 dots to browse to wherever trainsim is installed on your computer, you need to browse to \Wherever_you_got_it\Train Simulator\Routes\ and type "CER" after that so you get the whole path,
That doesn't actually launch the game, it autoruns the installme.bat to copy the common files from the default routes.
You should get a DOS window similar to that, opens and copies the default files in, if you see "file not found, 0 files copied", then you either have it in the wrong place or don't have all six routes that came with trainsim installed. The rolling stock is a no brainer, download;
To make hunting for these things easier, click on tools, folder options to get this window, then click on view, then scroll down and uncheck the box for "hide extensions for known file types".
Go to \Train Simulator\Global, click on view, details so you get a screen that looks like this. If the tsection.dat file has a date of July 26th 2003 or later, then there's another problem somewhere. If it says May 7th 2001 like in the screenshot above, go to where you extracted newroads.zip and find the tsection.dat file dated 7/26/2003, copy, and paste it into \Train Simulator\Global. Note there are \Shapes and \Textures folders in the Global folder, the .s and .sd files go into Shapes, .ace files go into Textures, the tsection.dat file goes directly into Global, not the subfolders.
I have a P4 2.66ghz with an ATI Radeon 9700 pro, so those settings work fine for almost all routes. The L2 route tho, requires even more to get playable framerates.
That's a workable compromise, visibility down to the lowest setting, and the world objects and train objects texture quality reduced to 2. Still gives pretty good looking detail up close with playable framerates. If you have a low to midrange system, you'll probably have to go further than that, maybe even lowering the world objects density to 6 to get rid of the roads and moving traffic on the expressways. The thing to do is fiddle with the settings until you find a compromise you can live with, or buy a faster computer.
