I had a dream about Trainz...

I had a dream that I was in first person camera mode, where I went from my house in to my car and drove to the station and got on the train to work, and so did hundreds of other people, when I got to work at the shunting yard, I put in a full days work and set off home again.

Then I had another dream, where I was floating about in the air all the time then up came this number one button, so I pressed it, and I was immediately shoved in to a cab were the engine kept jerking violently and the view was jumping in and out.
Then I noticed that half of my carriages disappear and the more I savoured my dream the more track go's missing in front of me. All of a sudden the land erupts and massive walls of land appears in front of me where their was none before. Jagged edges that appear to be block shaped in colour and texture, shoot in to the air looking quit menacing and out of place, and thick lines of cream all over the grass.
Oh No!!..... It's not a dream!... It's a flame'in Nightmare! :eek:
 
I had a dream where I started Surveyor, clicked Import Terrain, and then a Google Maps window appeared. I selected the area I needed and Pop! There is was, inside surveyor, with Satellite images and elevation ready to be "dressed" with buildings and trees, that casted their shadows on the landscape. As I drove, the night fell, and the lights of the streets and the buildings illuminated the raindrops that started to pile up in my windshield as an evening drizzle began..........

Such a nice dream.....
 
I had a dream that the Brew Crew fixed graphics and stuttering the problems introduced with TS12 SP1 first along with the other bugs mentioned for years but ignored for various reasons.

Perhaps I am a realist. I have a feeling that the new version will be "pretty" but the underlying engine will still be finicky as usual with the sound, stutters, and graphics issues plaguing the program as before.

I have a dream that my steamers sound would not drop out and the track noise be more prominent. They would reflect the workload of the engine etc... It is saddening when all I hear is click clack and no stack talk back!
 
I had a dream that alpha channels overlapped and worked correctly now in Trainz the same as they did from day one in MSTS. But then dreams rarely come true.
 
Vern is posting at the same time. Great to see your face still around this neck of the woods/corner of the Internet Vern. Perhaps our announcement this weekend will rekindle the old spirit in you and a few other veterans.

Tony - I have always been lurking here in the background, popping out the occasional route. In terms of mileage since 2008 I have probably released nearly as much Trainz route mileage as for Railworks and probably have more stalled/abandoned projects in Trainz too!
 
I had a dream where trainz would run no lag, play multiplayer no matter what, be able to have the game custom create scenery for a specific route, and all locomotive came with a reskinning template.
 
I had a dream where I was playing trainz or something, but then, as most dreams tend to do, it transformed into me railfanning in philly or something like that. Anyway, I ended up deciding to take a nap in downtown Philly so then I started dreaming in my dream, which for some reason gave me more control over the dream. Then in my dream's dream I met up with my fiance at her friends house, then she left and that is when I realized that it was a dream because her Hyundai Accent suddenly had a hatchback. Of course, I didn't realize it was an actual dream along with the railfanning part, but I realized that I had fallen asleep in my dream and was dreaming and freaked out thinking that I was going to die because I fell asleep in my car in the industrial sector of Philly. So I freaked out and tried to wake myself up and managed to wake up, but I was freaked out for a second or two when I was in my bed rather than my car.

I also had a dream where I was railfanning or something near my house and there were these little trains about the size of an RC car, and then to my horror one of them got run over by a real train. Not sure if that had anything to do with trainz though.

Why do you ask? I don't know what my weird dreams have to do with the next trainz.

Edit: I appear to have missed the point, so I will add in what I want for the next trainz. I want the next trainz to not just be the same game as UTC with new content and a few minor new features and a bunch of older stuff broken.

I dream of snowflakes that aren't the size of dinner plates
I dream of lighting that isn't horrible
I dream of bells that don't ring on every locomotive
I dream of the ability to turn off the sound thing where it jumps from speaker to speaker as the locomotive passes
I dream of updated physics

I had a dream where the bell toggle wasn't a train state, and only affected the lead engine
I had a dream where sounds weren't mono left or mono right when 3d sound was enabled
I had a dream where there were 8 unique sound notches in addition to the idle throttle sound that didn't involve a 3rd party workaround that only half-works with 3d sound
I had a dream where JET was finally retired and a new game engine was introduced

then I woke up and wept for a thousand years
 
I dream about smooth sound changing while train accelarates. Both for traction gear sound and track sound.
I dream about not-clutter tracksound of long train of short wagons.
I dream about different brakeratio of loaded and empty cars, about discharging of train brakes without brake cylinders filling.
I dream about bright day and dark shadows, multiple locomotives' headlights with narrow beams and station's lights with wide beams.
 
I had a dream where trainz developed new features like railworks but the surveyor creation stayed the same. Dynamic lighting would be great.
 
I had a dream and a lot of it was the same as cascades dream, but he ate the marshmallow by himself and I did not mind at all...
I also dreamt that I was playing trainz and in front of me was a huge CTC ( centralised traffic control centre ) screen where I could see all the routes and trains I have running , and I also had one of those expensive controllers so my mouse did not foul up, get sticky or have flat batteries and there was no keyboard to mess coffee drool or ash on ...I could click and free roam anywhere on the CTC's led's and go anywhere on any of my routes , all my assets worked in any version and on any route .
Einstein was my best friend and I could sit and watch while he teaches me how to fix broken assets, finds missing dep's and he knows all the unknowns , all the abbreviations and RRoads of the world. I had all the steam locomotives from the smallest to the largest and they all worked 100% in driver mode.
 
I had a dream that one day if I want to run a route from here (New York) to Chicago on the late shore limited. The game will generate a route and in a matter if hours. I can start my 24 hour trip.

I had a dream when a group of over 100+ route builders can in multiplayer create a route together.

I had a dream when the Content Manger can have a updated user interface.

I had a dream when the web browser in trainz is actually useful.

I had a dream when you can track trains, like how amtrak has done. Using google maps, which would allow you to see if a train is ontime, its speed, and how long it will take to reach its destination.

I had a dream that the sounds in trainz was realistic, and changed from train, track, and condition. Also that pantographs/catenary had a sound to them.

I had a dream that when in multiplayer you can speak to each other in trainz and also allow more than one person per train.

I had a dream that my train in driver would bounce over points, sway as if it was a real train and not a model on tracks.

I had a dream that N3V would create model of trains that we in America mainly northeast, can use. Lke Acela, AEM-7, ALP-46 and more.

I had a dream that positive train control was in the game and we can open one cars doors and not the whole train.
 
My dream? That N3V reads all this... and they do something about it... (Seriously, Great suggestions.. or dreams?)
