I got the upate, then installed the dev tools. Went about setting up my route. Finally got a route template created only after using the "missing bits" tool. It worked. I created a new route using the template and I was right at the lon/lat I chose. Then I tried to create terrain with the .hgt files in the appropriate folder. I tried it both in linear tool mode and object placement mode, and every time I tried it, the program crashed. Any idea if I am doing something wrong or if this is a bug?
Thanks

You have gotten further than I have. I was trying to set up a small route in the real world between Clifton Forge, VA and Hinton, WV, which I called "Alleghany" with a display name of Alleghany Subdivision. When I save it, it creates a generic .xml file, but when I attempt to export it, it does not find a alleghany.xml file. I had used "missing bits" to set up the directory structure, but tomorrow, I may try this again from scratch.

One thing I have noticed is that with the update, the program loads much faster than it originally did. A full loading took nearly 2 minutes on my moderately fast machine, but now takes about 20-30 seconds.

It is bedtime now in Florida, and tomorrow morning, I must finish my annual report to the IRS, after which I will get back to the toy. Like it was with MSTS, it will take some getting used to.

Yes, I tried to set up the route with the supplied tools and docs and had no luck. It actually exported my template but it would not show up in the create route mode. Had to use the "missing bits" to get as far as I did. I have checked, double, triple, and quadruple checked my work against the instructions and have found no problems. I've tried everything I could think of, and still end up crashing the sim every time. Bummer! Maybe tommarow will bring an answer.

Well I've only got as far as to open the asset editor,It want open and says to change the resolution,multisampling or windowing options.I dont think its the res. because I've tried just about everyone I have and it still tells me the same thing.I dont know anything about the other two.Can someone help with the other two? Thanks nwman.

I got the same thing and i had to drop my multisample to 8 and my wide screen res to 1024x and hit test then it worked.

Thanks, I tried re setting by resolution to multiple settings, but still get the crashy crashy everytime I try to change the terrain with the dem feature. No luck yet.
