Jankvis' DIY Billboard mesh makes great looking trees. At least in TANE: TRS2019 "Shader Quality" on Ultra/Standard: If the "Shader Quality" is set to low the trees look good but the equipment looks like crap. We have tried to fix the problem at our end but nothing works. The...

Found a way to get the Jankvis' Billboard Speedtrees to work. What is a "BillBoard SpeedTree"? https://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?154750-JVC-BLUEPRINTS-(create-your-own-vegetation) "Shader Quality" is set to low with the environment adjusted to eliminate the sun. A way...

Anybody else try this, all I heard about making forests was "cut and paste". Am using TANE and Jankvis DIY Billboard Speedtrees. Have met with good results on vegetating mountainsides. The area tool is dynamic, a new area can be selected. That stops the previous area and continues in the...

This was posted in the USA screenshot thread. Most of the assets can be picked up here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120318200544/http://www.checkrail.com/ek3.htm If you don't have this route get it. The Speedtree version is with the old Pofig trees and won't work in TANE or later...

My main problem with TRS2019 was legacy routes. The old grasses and the trees looked awful. Then I went counter intuitive with the sun. Turned the sun slider all the way down and adjusted the other parameters in the environment. The "G:" grass and "JVC" splines looked good. The "FMA"...

Found this buried in another thread, don't know if this has been posted elsewhere. Harold

Just downloaded MSGsapper's updated Progressive Rail for TRS2019. All the ground textures have been replaced with PBRs and TurfFX vegetation has been used. Really shows TRS2019 in a prototype railroad setting. :clap::Y::Y: Harold

Can post these now. The hminky pictures are from the original closed beta and from my Trainz EVERYTHING folder and are not in the new beta. Harold

The BaseMapz utility that comes with TMR17 is really neat. Not worth buying that edition to get BaseMapz, but it is supposed to be available free later. http://forums.auran....460#post1557460 Find it useful to expand model railroad plans to full size railroads: Am...

They look really great, the groups are nice. Thanks Harold

Anyone get the geared locomotives to have exhaust sounds in TS12 SP1. Hoping they might come back in T:ANE, nope. Northbay County with Speedtrees in T:ANE Harold

Replaced the JVC grass splines with JR's JazzyGrazzy grass spline in T:ANE: Before: After: Before: After: In the freeware scenery items page 3. Thanks:Y: Harold

The game looks and runs better. Environment's Ambient Color Wheels set to 11 O'clock: Sure some of the assets in the game are dated or need to be fixed like the powerlines in the first screenshot, but Hotfix2 is really good. 76401, the previous version, was the worst game ever. Harold

The pofig trees don't show up as they are the wrong version. If you don't replace the billboards and jump from one consist to another on the route this happens: Am running Steam Hotfix2(beta) and the game runs great with speedtrees unlike the earlier versions of Trainz. Replaced the pofigs...

Replaced the pofig speedtrees in CheckRails Evansville route. Just replace the pofig trees in TS12 with similar billboards and then replace those with T:ANE Speedtrees. These are mcquirels freeware on the DLS. Took about an hour. The only ones that don't translate are the rows of bushes...
