Set the size of the Route Editor Window

One you get there, locate these three lines, which should be bunched together in the list:
Editor main window height---> set to whatever value. I have a large, high res monitor so I use 1200.
Editor main window max -----> set to binary 1, which should look like 01 00 00 00
Editor main window width---> set to whatever value. I have a large, high res monitor so I use 1600.
The middle line, Editor main window max, value of 1, appears to be the one that tells the software to always use the registry sizes when launching the program. When the alternative value of zero is present it will let RE launch at something like 640x480, which most people don't like.
EDIT: I goofed, BOLD font indicates corrections.

There must be a width entry instead of two for height. In my registry, it's the last of the three...

Remove starting logo/movie
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\1.0\HWRenderer] Set value of 'Showlogo' (near the botton of the list)from '1'to '0' Before : "ShowLogo"=dword:00000001 After : "ShowLogo"=dword:00000000
Route Editor Main Window Size Fix
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\1.0\HWRenderer] Before: Editor main window width 286 (646) Editor main window max 00 00 00 00 Editor main window height 20C (524) After: Editor main window width 3EE (1006) Editor main window max 00 00 00 01 Editor main window height 337 (823)
I set my RE window to 1006x823 to maintain a specific aspect ratio for screen shots. You can use pretty much whatever you like, but practically you need to leave room for the auxiliary editing windows.

Have you been able to determine at what point it reverts back to default. Is it after you close regedit and before you run the editor, or does it do it after the editor starts. Simple way to tell is to change the values, close regedit and reopen regedit and see if they have reverted to default. Also what OS?

However, it's important to reset the information in the Registry to represent the desired Route Editor viewport size before each time you start the Route Editor, because the RE tends to rewrite the Registry settings whenever the RE window(s) are manipulated (minimized, restored, etc). There are several ways to accomplish this: You can load a .reg file manually before starting the RE each time. Or you could setup a script (.bat file or .vbs) that you can run which loads the Registry entries and then kicks-off the RE. You can setup a script for each MSTS installation.
I've made my own very lightweight custom "scripting system" which I use to launch the Route Editor which sets the Registry entries each time. I don't have any hassles.
