File Name: Timesaver Route (Part 1)
File Submitter: That Genset Foamer
File Submitted: 15 Apr 2014
File Category: Routes

A visual and operational upgrade of Ron Paludan's Timesaver route. End-user must download all 3 parts for installation. No activities included--"I give you the stage and props, and you--the end-user--write the play, cast the actors, and perform it!".

NOTE: This route requires USTracks and Newroads. Install these before unzipping the route for...well...any trouble-free performance in MSTS.

Happy switching,
-Alex Lewis

I'm not familiar with USTracks. Where do I get them?

This doesn't happen to be the Timesaver mod I inspired, does it? If it is, I'm happy I inspired you.

That it is! Along with what I think will be a quote you will hear from me a lot when discussing routebuilding--"I think I might have gone a wee bit overboard...".

One question; where do I put the USTracks files? Do I place the shape files in the SHAPES directory in the GLOBAL folder, or do they go in a particular folder in the global SHAPES folder?

USTracks installs to \GLOBAL\Shapes, like where the Scalerail or Xtracks sections would be.

I installed the shapes in the proper location, but there are still a few shapes missing. What did I forget to download?

Global Shape file us3_a1t100mstrttun.s is missing from your route, no alternative is available in the other installed routes.

Okay, thanks. Alex, I didn't see those specified in the readme, so you might want to try to fix it somehow.
