I too may have misinterpreted the track plan.
The green line goes from the original Trainz through to the future.
Everything else seems to be a branch off that line, perhaps to be left to history.
The, “You are here”, points to a red (going round in circles!) route alongside the continuing green line.
Could the green line be extending to an update of TRS2004? It is uniquely positioned on the map in that it is not shown up in a siding to nowhere; it remains on the main line with a direct connection to the future. It is also probably the most stable, and the modellers favourite.
The flurry of recently dated DLS uploads to TRS2004 (including James Moody’s excellent rusty bus!) would fit in with this theory. Why else would assets be allowed to be added to an unsupported version?
Enough of the slightly tongue in cheek theory.
Practically:
I’d like to see the restoration of withdrawn Surveyor tools - bring back alternative wireframe mode, particle effects et al. Give back the tools which will allow route builders to do a proper job; stop taking them away.
Add the impressive draw distances afforded so many years ago by TrainzTuner. It works in equal measure in Surveyor and Driver, and you can see for miles.
Add the positive improvements developed in later editions, (e.g. 5m grid -without ground texture problems though), whilst rejecting the bad elements (e.g. those awful light/dark graphics issues on asset planes). Billboard trees from talented creators are still good if placed in the right version; it’s the software changes which have made them look so bad in later editions, even in compatibility mode they aren’t much improved.
Forget compatibility mode, unless it can be made to work with no graphics issues. Better still, why have any modes; a single ‘properly working’ mode would be best.
Don’t want much do we!
Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
