Hello, I am trying to get the "Factory 01" onto my route from the RCAP buildings, however, when I place the building where it is fesiable. I get around 15 FPS with that building. Anyone know why this would be? Once I zoom past it the FPS returns to about 40 again.

Thanks

Factory 1, as you can see in the pictures I have 15 FPS when looking at the building, but once deleted it returns to it's average. I tried with a different route, same issue.

Worst case is I would just have to use another building for this place as here they do have an entrance for boxcars like this.

I think that's one of John's models. It may be due to the special lighting added for the interior and exterior, and it also had a number of large textures (1024 x 1024). I'll have to ask and see if he can take a look at the model.

That is a very intense model. A lot of lighting, a lot polygons - especially for the ceiling fans on the roof, and voxels. Is it just factory 1, or are all of them doing this (1a, 1b, etc.)

My bet is that it's the lighting that's causing the slowdown. Those lights are very expensive on frame rates, especially if they have shadows turned on.

Yes it is just that one. I would like to use that one just due to the fact that it has the railcar entrance. Which I will probably switch out and do something different there until I find something more suitable.
