We cannot be held responsible for problems this route may cause to your
system or your MSTS installation!
Brief description of the route:
The Rattlesnake Desert (RSD) route is a fictional 36 mile desert route of
double main line trackage through a mountain desert range. There are 4
towns on the route and one industry area. If you like mainline running
with perhaps a couple places here and there for some route switching,
this route is ideal. This route has a small amount of switching opportunites.
All night textures are included. The route is for summer running only, as
this is a fictional desert environment. If you try running the route in winter,
you will get errors when trying to load the route.
Please note that this is a highly detailed route. This is not a route for
anyone! MSTS fans with older hardware could not be able to run this route
due to its immense hardware requirements.
We suggest at least following hardware components:
Minimum:
At least 2.0 Ghz AMD or Intel Pentium processor or better, 512MB RAM,
approx. 200MB of harddisk space, GeForce4 Ti4600 or ATI 9800Pro GPU
Recommended:
AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 or Intel Pentium IV 3.4 Ghz, 2GB RAM,
approx. 200MB of harddisk space, GeForce 6800 Ultra or ATI Radeon X850 XT GPU
If your computer was built before the year 2005, we suggest to disable the
"Dynamic shadow" option in the MSTS options menu. This will boost the route
performance depending on your hardware. Note that the visibility slider is
not very helpful while using this route!
Installation procedures of the route:
1. Unzip the route and copy and paste it into your "Train SimulatorRoutes" folder
2. Create a new activity or download one if available.
3. Start the sim and select the route. Enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: There is no Installme.bat file included in this route. All you
have to do is follow the 3 installation steps above and the route will run
correctly (Summer only!).
Special thanks from Randy Dyer:
I want to give a very special thanks to Tom Galbardi (aka Mr. Badlands).
He has been a big help to me on his opinions, feedback, and all the
help he has given me on this route project. If it wasn't for him, this
route would not be where it is today. Thank you my friend! I will always
appreciate what you have done in the past for me. I also want to thank
Paul Precht for giving me his feedback and opinions on the route. Thank
you to the both of you.
Before I get into the thank you's for letting me use certain people's
objects in the route, let me please state the following: The following
list of artists and other artists that aren't mentioned are owed a debt
of gratitude for their contributions to the Train Simulator community.
Without their creative efforts, most routes would not have nearly the
quality that they have and I thank all of them for their contributions
to the MSTS community. Most of these objects in this readme file are
available at http://www.train-sim.com and http://www.uktrainsim.com. Also, the objects produced by these folks are governed by their copyrights as listed in the files that they have uploaded for our use.
Last but no least, I want to thank Nick Sese for the custom loco package
for the RSD route. I highly appreciate his effort with doing this great
MSTS add-on!
