Freeroam cheat sheet.
By Kyrah Abattoir
If you are like me and enjoy popping in the editor and making your dream freeroam scenario (various locos available at the major stations, plenty of wagons to build your own consists and a good amount of shunters). This is an attempt at locating points of interest on routes to pick starter places in the editor.

Also included, various points of interest for freight pickup/deliveries, electrification type (if any) and which kinds of fuel are available.

ah okay

Clear Creek looks interesting but I kinda have grown tired of throwing money at DTG and them essentially doing whatever they want.
[bruss] 5 Sep, 2020 @ 7:46pm 
how about Clear Creek?

Set up the scenario first with not many, or even just one, loco. Run it from start to finish (or to multiple finishing points, eg on branch lines). With pen and paper (if you can remember how to use these), write down the compass co-ordinates at various locations of your choice. You can always then transfer them into a computer folder and then print them out. They will allow you to jump quickly to any place of your choice whilst in the route editor (or in the scenario editor) by entering the appropriate coordinates into the boxes at the centre top of the editor screen.

Great article! I was wondering how to get Locos from other routes into route that I am currenty editing. Could you help me please?

its not a cheat sheet its a guide and means we dont have to spend hours looking for things that dont exist on any particular map, as such it is a very useful , time and frustration saving

@daymyron If you've used the map in freeroam then you know that it gives you hardly any informations on what is where, and you can't hop in free camera and go check unless you are pretty much there already.

This way you can quickly check where this or that map feature that you need is, especially turntables, fuel and water.

Great Western Main Line is only partially electrified: from Paddington to Hayes and Harlington
Theo M 8 Nov, 2017 @ 8:41am 
this tells us what is where and is fine and very helpful, my problem is buying a route or a loco only to find the game refuses to play the new content on a line it should run on and dumps loco or route substituting a n other which was not selected

By what stretch of the imagination is this a cheat sheet?
Perhaps I'm missing the point, but how is this list of any use in the setting up of a free roam scenario.
I just don't get it.
