I'm trying change the track unevenness of the track in the Peace River route, so far the only way I've found to do it is select the track and manually change it, is there a better way? More importantly, when I do this, the route crashes quite often, most of the time in the same spots. Anyone know why?

I would contact DTG support about the issue. https://dovetailgames.kayako.com/Default

Another way to change track unevenness is to drop the tracks.bin on Serz.exe to get the source .xml file.

First make a backup copy of tracks.bin

Using a competent .xml editor like Notepad++ you can globally search and replace the <LineUnevenness>....</LineUnevenness> text fragment with the same fragment using a different value in the range of 20-50.

(In theory, RW_Tools can also do this, but I am unsure if it will handle very large .xml files reliably)

Then drop tracks.xml onto Serz.exe again and it will compile a new tracks.bin. Because a Steam validation of your game will remove your changed files, make a spare copy of the new tracks.bin in a safe location.

I've looked through the xml and there is no refrence to LevelUnevenness or Unevenness in there.

I don't have this route, so cannot check the .xml for you.

Could it be the creators have omitted super elevation and track unevenness all together?
This will perhaps cause your game to crash when editing using the route building screens.

Perhaps another owner of this route can look into it?

I did look at it. Assuming you are talking about the bin file in tracks folder in the route folder then he is correct. There are no entries like you mention.

Yep, tracks.bin doesn't include that value. Which probably explains the crashes after I edit it. Too bad.

It's "LineUnevenness"

You're correct, however that line is still not in there.
