Draw distance and asset loading [pics]

[nicky9499]

I have a small problem with TS10.

At 5000m draw distance setting, I get this in empty areas;

and this in dense areas;

Any fix?


Also, I notice of late that assets take a long time to appear. For example, I place an object on the board, ten seconds later it appears, or doesn't appear at all and I have to pull the view away to force it to "reload". Splines on the other hand, also take ages to appear. Sometimes only the spline point circles show, and the spline itself only shows up much later or after "refreshing". Track is also loading very slowly, on many occasions I have encountered the lowest LOD right in front of me for more than 5 seconds.

Are these signs of hard disk issue or is there a setting I can adjust, the buffer size value perhaps, which by the way I notice is missing from Launcher>Settings.

Cheerio,
Nicholas.

Draw Distance in TS10 is not absolute, the program auto-adjusts the draw distance to suit the graphics load. There is a current discussion on the subject in the TS2010 forum - look for a thread with 'Pop-Up' in the title...

There is but Auran will not address it. Check out the links above to be brought up to sppeed on the subject.

Andy, I've tried searching the forums for "pop up", but no results, be it thread or post. Please advise.

All of these hundereds of glitches and bugs in 09/10 has led me to believe that the so called "new improved" programs(s) are a much hasty release, of an inferior, un-(little)-tested defective program, as the "new improved" games are chock full of flaws. Funny, I never saw any problems with TRS2006, it works great !

I think they should have gone backwards to TRS2006 and have made some improvements on 06, instead of trying to create another "Vista", and we all know where that OS went...South. I think Auran is located in the south dirrection, last time I checked...and I'm not refering Australia's location on the globe.

I was looking forward the Auran fixing these bugs and glitchs, but so far the future of Trainz looks like all versions will be totally unsupported soon...if they refuse to acknowledge obvious problems, and multiple customer complaints.

I have $119 for a FCT and $69 for TRS2011 all ready to pay Auran...now it sits on the back burner...waiting to see if Auran falls...I am watching other people testing the water in 09/10, before I purchase. All I see is complaints.

Cascaderailroad, chill a little. It's just a game. I find it difficult to type on my ipod but I don't bang it on the table. You'll still come crawling back to Trainz even if it has its fair share of glitches. Take a look at the aforementioned thread, you might find it useful. Besides, its got a cute title. :hehe:

Thanks for the link, Two99point80.

Cheerio,
Nicholas.
