Good display settings? Making Trainz Look Best?

Davie_UCF

Here since 2001, Trainz!!
Hey,

Just after a few tips and ideas..

I run TC3 with all the sliders up full except good weather fog which is at minimum.

Anyone got any tips on how to get trainz looking better? When foggy/raining it seems to make stuff blue in distance.. why? And can this be sorted?

I've got Trainz Tuner but not sure on how to use it to the best I can

Heres an example of what I have an issue with..

It would be an awesome shot if it weren't for the background looking like that!

Thanks

Try setting the miles/ at 1.1 miles...if you max out the maximum settings your video card can't deal with it, and almost freezes...so set it at a litte over 1 mile at first, until you get he hang of it.

I presently have mine set at a hair over 2 miles...at 3-4-5 miles the framerates get really progessively bad...at 10-15-20 they are almost locking up the video card.

I suggest that you use it primarily for FINISHING screenshots, first aim and setup your screenshots at minimum mile setting...save the session...exit...THEN increase the view to 5-10-15-20 or more...re-enter the game, then hit print screen for final screenshot capture.

I am presently using a 1 Gb laptop with a factory video card...so that very well might be the problem...perhaps on my 3 Gb desktop PC the framerates would be better ?

I also find that having display resolution set to your monitor's native is best.
Also, set resource cache a bit higher if you experience "frozen" time during driver sessions.
