I would say half half. On short routes, I'd drive them with BVE, but long routes like Edinburgh-Dundee, I usually look with TrackViewer, since I notice it is in the countryside and there's not much scenary to see anyway.

Me too, except it doesnt matter on size.I like to use track viewer and the normal bve, perhaps there should be an option for both (with help from brr;)), eventhough the time i probably up for modifacation

I thinks its still meant to be! OF COUSRE I LIKE THE BVE VIEW!!! You get the train sounds and effects! Track viewer is only good for screenies!

It depends what I use really. When I want to ride, I would use the BVE program itself but when I'm bored or not bothered, I normally use TrackViewer. I do agree with Joshim, that TrackViewer is good for screenshots, but how are you meant to put the program at full screen so that you can take better screenshots without the menus etc.?Anas Hassan -
As far as I am concerned
The answer to big success and respect is
INDEPENDENCE

Trackviewer is not meant to be fullscreen, so you can code in one window and look at the changes in another.If you want to take a screen with it, you should just take the screenshot as normal and crop it in your favourite image editor so the menus and your desktop do not show.Tim Frost

>in one window and look at the changes in another. It can be almost full screen, if you change your resolution to 640x480. But the TaskBar will cover your distance/zoom, etc... So make your taskbar auto-hide or uncheck "always on top".
