Thanks

I want to thank Eric, Garry, and others for the help in pushing my learning curve. All this comes about when moving to Win-10 it was necessary to rebuild major parts (or areas) of my PC. Probably the best area was when my supplier tossed the C&K drive which was a 1G drive with two partitions, "C" & "K". He replaced it with a SSD of slightly more volumn and partitioned that. Then after putting the operating system into "C", he copied "K" from the old drive into the new "K". I already had 15 or so routes in the MSTS install, so when I reinstalled MSTS I put it in another main directory "XMSTS". Previously it was in "1MSTS". But the new install will not work with
the level of DivX present, nor with the Radeon video card, so I installed TSRE in the new "K" partitions, as well as ORTS. I will removed MSTS from "XMSTS" & delete that directory.

Now I find I have a simulator program that runs like LIGHTENING. Also I find that in TSRE the mouse is smooth using the defalt
values.

So, thanks again for what others have helped with, and in advance for what is bound to be more. Whether he is still involved with TSRE or not, many thanks to GOKU for his efforts. I got to wonder, though, I never heard of a PhD project involving a hobby item. Has worked out really well though.

If you want to add these lines to the settings.txt for TSRE it will slow down the camera and mouse and make for a much smoother working environment.

cameraSpeedMax = 2
cameraSpeedMin = 20
cameraSpeedStd = 0.20
And uncomment mouseSpeed = 0.1 Remove the #.

I did and it is an improvement. I have also found out that the "step" value can be changed and will affect the way the gradient changes. The default seems to be 25 using the setting for per mile% but then each push of "cntrl"8 changed the gradient by 2.5 but although I like the routes from the Alps, that is not my area, so when I set the "step" to 1 and the value to "%" each touch of the "cntrl"8 changed the
gradient by .1%. Also I found that if I wanted a particular gradient, say 1% I could just put that in the gradient window. If that is correct, then laying a long grade at a particular % would be easy.

That gradient functionality is why I chose to re-do two of my routes with track charts. No more math... just read the value directly from the chart.

It would be nice if TSRE could remember the last value used, but pasting the value works pretty well too. I've got a small list of enhancements if someone ever figures out how to get the QT components installed into Visual Studio. They're pricy.

If you hold CTRL while tapping 8 it slows to 1/10th. Fine control.
