Image Google Earth Create Route

Hello everyone How are you all? May the Lord bless you, does anyone know if you can ask Google Earth for help creating Routes? 1 Fostoria Torre Real.png
In OpenRails looks bad with a fall use hgt

I took a screenshot on Google Earth. It looks good from above.

The aerial view in the track viewer in Open Rails looks excellent.

The problem is that everything looks downwards. How do you solve this? Should you ask Google Earth for help or not? I don't use the Google API because I live in a country that doesn't accept the Google API.

I would pick an elevation for the track and stick to it. Use the "F" key to bring the terrain up a bit.

On the south end, there is a highway that goes under the track where your label "C & O" is located.

Thanks, meaning all the areas that are seen below the terrain should be accommodated with the rail?

It helps if you know the area. Also what I do is turn on 3d terrian. Not always great results but sometimes you luck out. Another thing you can is make a path of the desired track(s) and then cilck on the line and select elevation profile. I haven't fully mastered reading this, but it it will highlight what the average grade is and where the track goes up or down. You can also hover over a spot and check the elevation which you can read lower right of the screen. Hope the input helps.
