Hi all.
After installing beta 1 and tested it to my own purposes, I decided to share with you my discoveries on this new version and especially on my huge route containing 300 cars, more than a dozen of engines, monorail, subways, passengers etc. Actually I'm running TRS 2006.
Please keep in mind that TRS 2006 default viewing distance is 1.5 km, I'm using a 3 km viewing distance in beta 1. That's my default setting.
My first concern is the frame rate.
About this, let me tell you I'm more than SATISFIED about this great boost of performance. I can affirm easily that my frame rate doubled on most part of my route. As in 2006 my frame rate was averaging 30 fps with some lows at 15 and highs at 45, now in 2009 my lows are 25 and highs 50 with an average of 40. Its really smooth even with an increased viewing distance. If I lower it to 1.5 km, I get some peaks at 80 fps !!!
A thumb up !!!
My computer specs are:
Dell XPS M1730 laptop
2.4 ghz dual core 2 CPU
2 SLI 8700 Geforce video cars
4 gb DDR 2 ram
