TDB and RDB question concerning TSRE5

[Salsocided]

I've been using TSRE5 in building a small route and I was wondering if we should still be taking the precaution of laying all track first before adding any roads? (New roads) I am using Dumb roads at this time as a place holder, but I'm getting to the point of adding structures and other scenery items and Dumb roads are limited to just a few shapes. Curved roadways are almost impossible!!...Thanks for any comments and guidance Doug

I'm laying roads at the same time as track. These are the precautions I have taken: use the same process as track; save often; watch laying roads across tiles, and absolutely NO INTERACTIVES. So far I haven't had a problem with roads.

AFAIK even in the old MSTS RE you could lay roads and tracks, just no interactives.

You can lay roads at the same time. It's different databases.
TSRE can better handle editing tracks with interactives than MSTS RE, but because of no interactives error handling in TSRE, it's still better to place them when tracks are done. Platforms and sidings are safe to place during track building - you can see them, so no risk of unseen errors.
