I hope they fix the issue with making diamond crossovers.

I get so frustrated trying to make diamond crossovers. It doesn't make sense that you can make a crossover from right to left, left to right, top to bottom, bottom to top, but when you try to make the diamond (2nd crossover) suddenly the track is uneven, even though the track looks completely even. You spend a ton of money deleting and replacing, and terrain modification all with no effect most of the time.

A track planner would help with this issue, but the issue should still be fixed.

The thing is it was uneven in the first place. The game allows a certain degree of unevenness. But when you double cross you are condensing the unevenness into a single point that exceeds the allowance.

A guaranteed way to avoid the issue is to have the parallel tracks set to a specific angle for the entirety of the stretch you are trying to put the diamond switch on. The only way you can have a section of track to be consistently one angle is to first build a section of track that uses the angle you want. Than build a new section of track that continues from the last one and set to the same angle. The new section will be a consistent angle and will allow a diamond switch with a parallel track that is also a consistent angle with no problems.

No, sometimes drawing crossover tracks leads to having to redo the through alignment just to get a diamond crossover, even when it was even before. There is something about the junction snapping that does this. How do I know? because I successfully draw the track, and then delete a track end to add a double slip switch track from the diamond crossover and sometimes make an error in deleting the full diamond crossover which can't be added again.

The stations spport blueprint technique. It is bold to expect same for tracks?
I guess, you could make your own pre-designed constructions/parts, then re-use. So, for example the highway cross seen in video can be one blueprint. Same as track diamond can be one blueprint.
Choose from menu, place it. Easy as that.

I agree. I thought it was just me because I've been away from the game for awhile. Also, I can't seem to get my signaling to work properly either.

I play the island maps, mostly. I can get everything to work if I only use passing lanes, but multiple track layouts have been a bear!

It's definitely a little inconsistent at times.
I ran the height map cursor over my tracks once and they were all the same height and perfectly straight - still couldn't build the double crossover because it would raise the cross in the middle up above the surrounding tracks for no reason. Using M/N to lower the middle just left it highlighted red unbuildable.
