The hotfix is being tested now, and users are reporting vastly improved performance. So hopefully that means they'll be sending it out in the next couple days. I installed SP6 on my M4 Max Mac (PC still has an older version) and noticed the game hit a brick wall, with frame rates easily being...

Nothing special here, just my regular "I'm still alive" post. However, this is among my first screenshots from my Trainz Mac setup. A 16" MacBook Pro with the M4 Max can run TRS22 at ultra settings and still get a buttery smooth frame rate on even more dense routes like Coal Country (that is...

How terrible! Jango's routes are some of my absolute favorites to run on. A great loss indeed. My condolences to Gianfranco's friends and family. May he rest in peace. Matt

Hey, we all gotta start somewhere man. I still haven't figured out kitbashing. I haven't reskinned anything in a good while (all my Trainz content is still on my retired PC while I figure out my new Mac setup), but some of my early work (not counting TRS2006 paint shed stuff) was... rough... to...

Great stuff everyone! I'm hoping to rejoin this thread once I get all my stuff moved over to my new Mac. I'm itching for some route building. Matt

Great stuff DART! I have been following this thread for years (decades?), and your work has come a very long way. Looking like proper payware quality stuff! Very, very nicely done. Matt

That's been my biggest gripe with TurfFX. Looks good up close, looks terrible far away. And yeah, I used to be a heavy user of grass splines, TurfFX is a massive improvement over those for sure. I can't stand using them now, but it seems like the lighting in modern versions of Trainz really...

Good to know. I've started the tedious process of copying my content from my PC to an external drive to eventually move over to the new Mac (over 700 gigs worth!), and I've been using TurfFX quite extensively in my projects. Sounds like, hopefully, an alternative means I won't be without my...

Bumping my own thread here, but I thought I'd share an update. I'm posting this from my new M4 Max MacBook Pro, with the 14 core CPU, 32 core GPU, and 36 GB of RAM. Yeah, I may have gone a little overboard, but oh well, I love her. One of the first things I did was install the trial of...

Thanks guys. Unfortunately my PC is running Windows 11 Home, so no MS Remote Desktop for me. Since the writing of the original post, I did attempt streaming Trainz to my MBP through Moonlight, which uses Nvidia Gamestream, meant for their Shield devices. Actually played quite nicely and...

Trainz+ here on TRS22. There's a reason I always hold off when it comes time for a patch. Seems lately every new patch comes with some new bugs. Matt

For the last couple years, I've been experimenting off-and-on with finally making the leap from Windows to Mac full-time, trying to use my Intel i7-based MacBook Pro as a daily driver. As my annoyances with Windows continue and computing needs change, and especially after switching back to an...

WHOOOOOA I live in the city BNSF's Boeing trains originate from. It's always cool to see them in person, can't wait to have them in Trainz! Good stuff! Matt

Great stuff as always, @BBarnes005. You gotta teach me. Matt

Thanks Scratchy! It's possible I was doing something wrong. Doing a second run, it loaded probably the second half of the train using the old fashioned "Navigate To... > Load" commands. I'm using the NSW QHBH coal hoppers from Hotbox. Honestly, I think it's just the game being weird. It does...
