I'm finding my feet with TS19, ( it's the first Trainz sim I've used, though I've used most of the others), and I'm more and more impressed with it. The quality of the graphics and realism is excellent and my fairly beefy hardware (RTX2080ti, i9 9900k, 32gb RAM) enables Ultra settings. I've tried moving my user data folder on to various discs, and the speed improvement from hard disk to M2 NVME ssd is amazing. No big difference when a session is running, but the load time of a large complicated layout is reduced from about 45 secs to 5 secs, (as they're about six times faster at reading).
The only thing that disappoints me is the main user interface, the one that displays the routes or sessions along the bottom of the screen as large thumbnail images. I haven't found any way to filter or organise them, so even though it's early days for me with adding content, I have to scroll past dozens of routes that interest me less to find the one I'm looking for, just alphabetically. It would be useful to be able to filter by country for instance.
Are there any third-party addons for content management (eg groupings etc.), like flight sims have ?
Also, when running a session on a route, when I try to temporarilly add a loco or consist, the interface for that seems very awkward too, with just a massive list in a small dropdown window and a strange clipped graphic appearing low down across the screen that is not recognisable, even on a 27 inch 1080p monitor.
If all else fails, I guess I would need some sort of PDF or printed catalogue of locos and stock with images and ref numbers. Does anything exist already for Trainz ?
