Trainz Plus - enjoy Trainz from just 20 cents a da
In today's newsletter we've provided the first sneak peek at the new "Surveyor 2.0" (S20) interface, and we've shown the image again below.
We'd love to get the discussion going about the new tools and features. (We'll be providing a lot more information over the coming weeks as we get everything prepared for our initial external testing, but we were so excited with progress we just had to share this snippet).
Be sure to sign up for the newsletter in your MyTrainz account if you'd like to stay up to date on the biggest thing to happen to Trainz since Surveyor itself.
(And to avoid mass panic, I can assure you that good ol' Surveyor that you know and love will still be available as it earns "Surveyor Classic" status, but I bet you won't be using it much at all).
If you have questions, please post them here. We won't be answering everything immediately, but your questions will help us ensure we get all the answers together when we officially launch this update.
So without further delay, here's your first Sneak Peek* at S20.
*Work in progress - expect anything you see here to change prior to release.
A few things to note from this image:
1. "Palettes" are movable, resizable and can be hidden (using the Window Menu like you can now with Mini Map for example)
2. You can change things around to suit your own workflow.
3. S20 features multi-selection (the green w.i.p. overlays) and multi-asset type in one selection (so you could marquee select and move an entire town a few meters in you wanted to)
4. A context sensitive menu offering different options depending on your selection
5. This does not show all the new features (such as the copy/paste "Scrapbook" feature which will change your life forever)
