I have to say, with just how significantly it upgrades the aesthetic of trainz, it really should be bumped as high up the priority list as possible.

All of the graphical improvement made with TANE, TRS19 and TRS22 are, if anything, let down with the sky system we have now and these sky box assets highlight that dramatically. Proper skies would, without a doubt, put Trainz as the most realistic looking simulator on the market.

As another poster said, this excrement is fire, yo
 
I just don't see where the time and money for this is. As it was told to me, paraphrasing, "we could add puddles in the rain and leaves blowing and all kinds of things but time and money"

These shots really show just how big an impact something that takes up a HEFTY percentage of the screen can accomplish.

I feel I speak for many, it doesn't need to be some drummed up marketing point of procedural clouds and weather, just a spherical sky box with high enough resolution to get the effect above and the results are already impressive to say the least.

I would rather they focus on fixing bugs and improving the product before coming out with more eye candy and fun things.

In Surveyor 2.0. Rotating a copied and then pasted area smears the textures under the paste area instead of just rotating the area and obliterates anything else that maybe in the way.

Setting up rotation direction does nothing when pasting into an area.

The Content Store menu is still WIP.
The main menu is still WIP since TRS19.

and many, many more.

seems like every release since (you can pick any version of the game here) focuses on halfway-adding features a minority of the community (if any) is asking for, then squishing about half the bugs that accompany those through SP/HF then marketing the next release and repeating.

Yup exactly.

I likened this to renovating an old house before. The roof is leaking badly but the kitchen is getting updated, except the old stove and fridge are used even though they're broken.
