So I tried converting an existing route to HD terrain. Firstly it took me hours to import it into Trainz Plus because of all the packaged assets I had used that aren't actually on the download station even though they are included with base routes. Please take note N3V that you would better...

Well, I certainly will try that. I suppose my concern is that it seems like this feature in it's current state may only be useful for exactly that scenario. It seems like the developers have only planned for a workflow that requires most of the terrain creation and editing to be completed using...

So in the end my curiosity got the better of me and I plumped for a month's plus subscription so I could check out HD terrain. When will I ever learn? N3V never fail to disappoint and it rarely takes more than a few minutes for that to happen. My first test was to put a section of track across a...

Indeed. Pretty sure no-one asked for that. 🤣

To be fair, I think lots of people did over the years. Fine control over terrain in specific situations (switchback tracks on steep gradients, tunnel entrances, rail embankments with bridges crossing farm tracks etc.,) is massively useful. Additionally, the ability to reduce or eliminate the...

Just adding my vote for this feature. Better yet, give us a value we can tweak to change the angle of embankments or cuttings created when using the "smooth terrain under spline" feature. 😉

Very true. In that case I wish that, before granting any future wishes, the Genie advises me of what I will also lose! 😆 Genie: You wish for world peace? Granted. Me: But everyone else on the planet is dead! I'm the only one left! Genie: 😉

Nice. You create a problem then use the excuse that an older version is "no longer supported" to get out of having to fix it. So just procrastinate another year or two and then TRS19 will no longer be supported either and you won't have to do anything about it at all. In case you're...

Quite ironic really when you consider that they didn't feel the need to ask anybody's permission before making the changes that created the problem in the first place.

Awesome. That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thanks.

Sounds about right to be honest. I wouldn't expect an older DC four axle unit to take full power from a standstill. p.s. sorry for thead necroing. The new forum suggests similar threads even if they've been dead for years and I didn't check the date. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Enginespecs are a generally poorly understood part of the locomotive creation process. It's a shame really as there are some really great models/textures around, somewhat let down by their enginespecs. To be fair, it's not just the enginespecs that have to be correct to get realistic performance...

Wow! Overwhelming response. 😆 I see this HD terrain is an absolute "must have" feature. Clearly I should rush to buy a trainz plus subscription . . .🤔

Sorry if I sound dense here but I really don't see the difference from N3V's point of view. A $70 membership sold in January will only renew for $70 next January if I decide to renew it! It's exactly the same as a new version with new features which entice me to spend another $70 next year. No...

I've always wondered about the whole "subscriptions are a stable, guaranteed form of income" argument. Really? I would have thought that 69.99 in January for a full copy was just as good as 69.99 in January for a subscription, and that both would be better than 7.99 in January with no guarantee...
