Hello dear friends,
What I am going to say, may be regarded by some as ..., well, I will say it nonetheless.
I see that old billboard trees look quite poor in TRS19 (much poorer than in TANE). It is understandable, with those strong shadows being cast on the planes. Furthermore, front and back planes come out differently. The effect can be somewhat reduced by reducing the strength of the sun in the environment.
Here it comes: *** can we have TS10-type compatibility mode back for billboard trees? ***
Why could not those trees look as good now as they did in TS09? (I do not care about individual leaves being visibly detailed, I want to see a landscape of lush greens.)
Compatibility mode was dropped in the latest TS10 (which I never installed) for reasons of performance. But, that was eight years ago. Our current PCs can handle so much more.
There are some very fine old routes out there with billboard trees. These routes are mostly very narrow in terms of baseboards and will be easily handled by our computers even with a TS10-type compatibility mode switched on. Surely some of these routes will not be upgraded or TANE'd.
And there are routes that have been upgraded with speedtrees but which, to me, looked much finer with billboard trees than with speedtrees with their harsh colors.
Pfff, I've said what I have wanted to say for so long.
Regards,
Paul
