Some Trainz 2009 v 2007 comparisons (Alpha)

[ColPrice2002]

Ok,

Here's the result of my playing with the latest alpha of 2009.

I (eventually) managed to transfer the built-in content of Trainz Classicz 3 into 2009.

I then ran the Appleby shunting (ride) scenario.
On my PC in TC 3 I have to run with the detail sliders to the left, lots of "fog" and the shunting part is not viewable - due to the stutters.
In 2009, the - with all the details as "max", the first 5-10 minutes were viewable - without stutters.
At that point I had dinner to cook, so halted early.

I suspect that the beta will be a little bigger and perhaps a little slower - but the improvement is amazing - considering the level of detail in the modelling.

No, Tony has got a 37 in the foreground (unfortunately, he had to pick a loco with LOD, Pikka's one), but if it can cope with huge draw distances and works better, then it will have no trouble with locos and stock

It's actually an AN GM Class (Yellow back with round window and door)

It's actually an AN GM Class (Yellow back with round window, and it is selected in the train window)

Hello all,

For those who have the alpha installed, how difficult is it to import content from earlier versions of Trainz?

Clarification: To rienstall TRS06 restoring your content basically just requires copying over the local folder then rebuilding the database. Is importing existing content to TRS09 similar?

I apologise for saying the train selection window was open. However, I remain convinced that it is an AN GM class.

My fault, it is an AN GM class. It must be my eyesight and high res monitor.

Bernie,

At the moment the only import option working is to "Open for Edit" content in TRS2006 CMP and then drag the open folders onto TRS2009 CMP's window and drop them. I'm sure this will change in later builds, remember it is still an alpha build.

Murchison Logging 2 (High Detail) on german Trainz 2007 and latest Trainz 2009 alpha, both screens with 1500m distance:

Trainz 2007 (16 FPS):



Trainz 2009 (15 FPS):

And the 2009 shot is slightly closer....

 

[Partyman79]

What do you mean by this ?

 

[Euphod]

Compare the two; the 2009 shot is CLOSER to the horizon than the 2007 shot, but shows more ground and less sky.

 

[Partyman79]

That's right. The difference when the Trainz 2007 screenshot is closer is really exorbitant The result at least is the same.
