Trainz 2022 Plus, Surveyor 2.0 - HD Tiles
Is there any way to import terrain heightmaps / displacement maps for random use through a layout / terrain? As I have seen others have point out, making realistic terrain with the existing tools is awful. I remember in some older / previous versions of Trainz, there were displacement maps I could use to randomly place mountains, hills or other features throughout the terrain/layout. I am not looking for something like transDEM for a whole route, I want to be able to place features through the route. Surveyor 2.0 does not seem to have this feature and the hills and mountains I have created so far look more like my 5 yo son grabbed the mouse and clicked the button randomly, lol. Random concentric circles, etc. seem too common and the lack of a smoothing or random generator makes it look... bad. I could see how someone could create and possibly use scrapbook to generate random landscapes but I have yet to find that, either. Note: I have tried switching to Surveyor Classic but it says HD editing not supported when trying to use the displacement maps.
Any ideas, tips, etc that could help? Tutorials?
Thanks!
