View Full Version : Increasing view and draw distance

Is there a way to increase the draw distance for terrain and scenery objects?
I have a real photo of a scene that I am trying to reproduce in Trainz. This involves some quite large buildings. These are next to a route so will appear when driving trains past them, but the shot I'm trying to copy is a fairly distant one and they don't appear because of the draw distance.
I've tried moving the sliders in "Performance Options" but this is just not quite enough.
Can I increase the draw distance?
I know this will kill the framerate, but that doesn't matter as its only a single shot I'm trying to reproduce.

Anybody help please?

Thanks

I have a photo of about 8 boards taken from way up high.
Check out the above link
If you cannot find the link to download it jivebunny has it below

Also after you have run it.
Reset trainz by going into Performance Options and adjusting the draw distance.

Short answer: Yes.

Download trainz-tuner 1.1 from the following site:

do the verify install thing and install it if you need it
Java is a pritty safe internet plugin. You don't neccerally need the latest one.
