Feb-23-02, 11:13 PM (EST) 1. "RE: maris 3.0 route extenstion" The 40 MB isn't the problem, it is the amount of memory needed to load such a huge route. While we don't know what the actual limit is, or if there is one, the practical limit of what can be loaded is probably less than that. Also, no one could stay awake long enough to drive a train that far.So, my personal suggestion would be that if you want to extend these routes, make them as separate routes, point a to b, b to c, etc. Use crew change points if you want as it would be prototypical to stop at each of these.I'd also bet that your enthusiasm for building such a large route would lessen by the day.I've been working on trying to extend MP3 in the opposite direction, and getting things to line up is a challenge, even with official track charts.
