I've been looking at sight lines etc. on my WIP Scottish route with a view to eliminating un-necessary sections to keep the final cdp size in a reasonable limit. However at the same time I don't want to create gaps where the route user can see a section removed. I've been working on a maximum draw distance of 2km (largely because that's what MSTS used) but I was wondering if anyone can say for certain what it is in 004. Closer in I might get away with removing a few more sections but further out and I will need to start being more picky.
TRS2004 - Draw Distance

Very interesting, how do you fine tune draw distance?
How do you fine tune draw distance? As per the original thread question what is the standard default draw distance? Assuming setting are on the max for TRS2004.

Can I suggest that you take a look at the density of the clutter on your new route? Because you placed so many trees right the way back in your last route, I couldn't run it will full draw distance...
That's why I'm investigateing the new low poly grass pieces and splines which are now on the DLS! Also, this time round I seem to have hit (more by accident than design) a good mix or two of terrain textures which should avoid the need to go OTT with the ground cover.
The point is taken though equally there are those who complain if the ground is too bare (the infamous "2007 Standards" doctrine for MSTS found over at UKTS). Hopefully I can find the right compromise!

Trainz Tuner v1.2 may be the answer...
...At least on the topic of altering the Trainz configuration.
You can change the maximum view distance (and other things) using Trainz Tuner v1.2, a freeware utility with Auran's name on it.

If you check out the link, I don't think that Trainz Tuner actually comes from Auran. It's more likely that you mis-read the page...

Harry,
You're right, isn't Auran... I can't remember why (my age is showing) exactly I believed this was Auran.
The credit should go to kreativenergy. I've corrected this on my software page.
Thanks,

quite easy really...
It's the wording on the site that's to blame...
Makes it appear that Trainz Tuner is from Auran doesn't it?
Just goes to show why you have to be clear about what you're trying to say so that people don't get the wrong end of the stick.

I've noticed a low poly grass thread somewhere or other. To give my perfectly honest opinion, the content there wont have a significantly lower poly count than any other foliage. Don't pin too much on it.

Hello,
Now I see that I did not carefully chose my words, to what I never thought to be a problem.
I've changed the text on the site:
"Trainz Tuner is an utility for the following Auran's games: Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 (TRS2004), Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006 (TRS2006) and Trainz Classics (TC).
(...)
NOTE: Trainz Tuner is made by a Trainz enthusiast and is not in any way affiliated by Auran."

If I'd work for Auran, you could change distances like Trainz Tuner in game!!! :hehe:
Take care Alberte,

Quick bump.
I've now installed Train Tuner and extended the draw distance to a fairly modest 3km. The effect on my WIP Scandinavian route is outstanding, mountains now appear in the distance instead of popping up abruptly.
If there's one alteration Auran should consider making in any future edition of the programme - it's to up the draw distance. There can't be many people now with PC's that couldn't handle 3km and the benefits are more than worth a couple of FPS.
