Route Riter

This software suite provides a wide range of tools specifically designed for Microsoft Train Simulator content. With it, users can easily perform a number of different actions on their routes and activities.

First and foremost, the suite allows users to check for missing shape and texture files in their routes. Additionally, it gives users the ability to compact routes by removing unnecessary files that tend to slow down the program. Users can also check all activities installed in the simulator using this software.

Another useful feature of this software is the ability to package routes for uploading, including the production of spanned zip files. Users can also count objects in selected and adjacent World tiles, as well as list all the track and road sections used by a route.

This suite even has the capability to produce Mini-Routes which are compact versions of MSTS that contain only one route and its associated rolling stock. Furthermore, it offers options to check and fix many of the file types used by MSTS.

In addition, this software includes a host of utilities to compress and uncompress files, replace shapes in .W files, and build AI locomotives. Graphics utilities allow users to view shape files and consists in full color, as well as run 3rd party programs such as TGATools2a and TView.

Last but not least, the full version of Carl-Heinz Rave's TSUtils program is included in this suite, making it a comprehensive and useful tool for anyone working with Microsoft Train Simulator content.
