Good day everyone..
After messing with this for a few hours.. I've come to post my issues. ..
At first I was having some issues with an engine on the Balezino - Mosti route, that foreign electric the name escapes me and I must say its quite well done in pretty much every respect.... but after "updating" all the assets (almost 32 hours it took
)... my issue is why does it have to take 32 hours to update assets that came with the game? Unless of course I purchase a FCT..but 32 hours to update assets that come with the game? Just wow... Especially with that one train that wouldnt even move no matter what I did, funny after updating them .. it moves. I didnt test much else before updating it..
I am also having an issue, that no matter how low my settings, I cannot alieviate.. I get a 1-2 second pause every 10 seconds or so, no matter the route.. I have defragmented my HD before installing Trainz12 and after installing all the updates to the assets included with the game. My computer is a 3.5GHZ 4Core with an Nvidia 560ti OC, windows 7 pro and 16GB of ram.. I am getting 50+ FPS.. but this 2 second pause is annoying (even tried limiting it to 30, no go) I do not have this issue with any of the 136 steam games I own, including train simulator 2014 at Full settings (40-60fps) .. nor FSX with countless addons (orbx, PMDG, A2A..etc.. almost 50 payware applications) almost full settings I get 30-40fps... nor do I have this issue with any of the 100 or so games that I have on my shelf in box. I also do not remmeber this type of issue with Trainz2006 even though I had substandard hardware at that time.
I am also having an issue with the steam train (not sure which) but it is only with that one.. I'll load it back up and edit my post to give the name.. I get like a hazy flickery white coating all over the cab that moves around almost like a shadow.. any fix for that.. (might have been fixed with the updated assets.. I'll have to load it back up and see)...
Any assistance with these matters would be greatly appreciated.
I really would like to love this game.. and am enjoying it thus far thank you..... but that 2 second pause is really getting on my nerves.. makes using the trackIR impossible and 32 hours to update assets.. wow.. in light of that.. how do I backup my game.. just copy the folder will be enough I assume. I would HATE to go through that again. Please do not go on about FCT to update assets that come with the game as I do not believe that I should purchase a ticket for updates to assets, in a timely manner, that I never downloaded to begin with.
With that out of the way.. the routes are beautiful.. the simulation is quite good from what I"ve messed with thus far.. I love the idea that there's an easy mode DCC and a real mode, which I use.. fantastic physics and sound on the trains I did try out so far.... some of the horns could use some work on some trains (I know user made assets).. The tree's swaying is a nice touch, kinda wierded me out a bit when I first loaded it as I thought my train was moving for some odd reason.
Thank you also for keeping TrackIR support, even though its hardly usable with all the stuttering and pauses I get when I move my head around. Took me a while to remember that it was activated by ctr-H...
Also the included content is immense.. and I want to thank all the developers of these Engines/trains/assets... most of which I've looked at are quite good.
Love the new VC's on most of the trains, even though some are a bit on the blurry side, most are quite crisp and realistic looking... a big leap from the 2006 version which I was sorely dissapointed in with that aspect. I also love the fact that the few trains that I tried out had working switches, lights, cab lights, compressors.. etc.. at least the train is not just a nice looking model .
I do have a question however. I notice that the DLC that is offered for this game does not have many "in cab" screenshots.. is the quality good in the vc, also are they scripted well?.. I ask cause that is where I usually sit... if so .. I will most certainly be picking up some of those, especially the steamers.
Hopefully the pausing issue can be fixed.. as that really takes away from an otherwise wonderful simulation.
