Railworks America

I use the Google overlay to try and make the route prototype. The over lay is sometimes "foggy" though and you can not see things very well. I got a second monitor and put Google Earth up on it so I can see better as the data is better. The overlay is actually using Google Maps and not earth. But to my demise I discovered every time I clicked on the second monitor to move around, TS would minimize on the main monitor. Aaaaargh!!! Looking in the graphics settings of TS2015 I see there is a new option, a borderless window. My new monitor is up to 1920 x 1080 and you can have a window that size and borderless. Now the second monitor can be clicked on and TS does not minimize.

Also Google Earth has been updating things. I have 9/28/2014 data for where I am working now, other parts are 2012 though and I notice a slight offset in the data. Some places it is more than slight.

Hi Bob:

You can set you screen in Railworks to borderless window, which then you can move from Railworks to Google Earth and back without Railworks minimizing.

At least that works for me.

Never mind.....it helps if you read the WHOLE message.....

Any game being played full-screen will do that.
When I work in TS (as opposed to playing it), I always put it in a window (borderless or not).
