I have just completed an activity for the Pocahontas District route. As most folks know, there is lots of coal in this region. Consequently, coal hoppers abound.
Unfortunately, placing lots of car strings causes MSTS to crash (and crash hard). I've seen boxcar strings that can be added to yard tracks as scenery obects that don't affect frame rates, etc.
Can someone create some cars strings of Norfolk Southern and Norfolk & Western hopper cars, loaded and unloaed? From what I understand, these are inserted in the Route Editor. If this is the case, that would make their placement very strategic in nature to fit any activity, and uploaded activities would require some route editing on the part of the end-user to have them show up in their route. Please confirm this is true.
A How-To guide on how to create these car strings would be helpful, as well.
Thanks,
