Aug-26-01, 08:06 PM (EST) "How do i test my track out?" What's the easiest way to test out the track i've so far created (to check for gaps, derailments etc)? I haven't created any stations, platforms, etc. yet I just want to drive around the track created so far.Thanks for your advice.Paul Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Thanks for the advice,I haven't a clue how to use the activity editor yet, but I managed to do something that allowed me to explore my route so far created;Well its a bit rough, there's no objects yet (hense the rather dangerous looking gap between embankments!)- but at least its' all working! (sort of) BTW this is the end result of the terrain created with the non-DEM digitising method discussed in this forum.Paul Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Any discontinuities will show up as black balls, just like those for the end of a route or track. You may have to magnify the image, but I've found it much quicker to do this prior to running a train than to spend the time running one until you have a derailment, redit the route to fix it, rerun a train until you find another problem, etc. This has found 99% of my problems without ever leaving the editor (and it's so fast and easy).
