What on earth have they done to the graphics?
I think 2010 is contrasty, but it looks to me like they've pushed the unreal slider too far in this version.

Lol I almost crashed into you

 

[Conrail45]

I've been wanting some multiplayer shots! May I ask is all of the talking done in a chat box of sorts, or is there an option for microphones? Loving the shots and hope to get TS12 over Spring Break!

 

[matps294]

Hert and I were on skype while running but you can see the chat feature

 

[nuni727]

I like that the control panel is at the bottom right instead of the top. Very nice shots, can't wait to get this game.

Are any alpha trees available in 12? Alot of those trees pictured don't have one ounce of realism in them.

Well owning 2006 as well as 2010 the realism in trees just between those two versions is staggering. What I see of the screenshots of 2012 (which I will own in about a week and a half) seems to have taken that up a notch.

I can't think of any Content that would run in 2006 that would even come close to native mode 2010 content. So to speak of "realism" when you only have 2006 as a benchmark seems a little bit facetious…

mrsci. Ok. So using that as a bench mark from 2006.

From what I see, the alpha foliage merges alot smoother together and the texturing of the trees gives alot more depth. Whereas the speedtrees look very cartoonish and out of proportion. Although they are still very much in their infancy.

Thats largely because the ability to create realistic tree's is still in the learning process. Modeling is not yet a science, there is a lot that is very difficult to model, like Tree's, grass, bushes, water, and fire. Now, for someone like Industrial Light and Magic, they have the resources, skills, and experience to create realistic items for movies.

You have to remember, Trainz content is largely third party, whats in the game is created by many of the users themselves. They are not Industrial Light and Magic.

Hert, what route is that??

Daniel, that is unfair, was that layout built-into 06?? Because the 12 routes are built-in. The only true compariscant is if you choose a new route created in 06 built-in to a 12 route with only built-in content on each

You all say very true things. And without those content creators there would be no 12".

Just the alpha trees being over ruled by speedtrees seems like a draw back, espesially on routes like EK3 which loose their "feel" without the alphas.

End of my rant

I just don't understand the forcing of speed trees. It seems people would be happier having a choice of trees, as opposed to being forced to use those hideous things. Some people like them, some don't, but for those of us who don't, and there is a lot of us, it is a deterring factor in our decision on whether or not to purchase new versions. Luckily in 2010 I can run functionality mode and enjoy good looking trees.

 

[Euphod]

Is there a feature in 12 that doesn't allow you to disable the Triffids? I don't have 12, so I don't know, but I assume you aren't exactly forced to use them. Some users were pretty vocal calling for inclusion of Speedtrees in future versions, but they may have been deceived into believing the results would be more pleasant by what they witnessed in other games.

I understand some members have made more attractive versions of Triffid Trees, but I personally have no use for any of them. They just frighten me.

Deleted, but boy I wanted it to stay.
Best to stay out of this, but wanted to comment on Motorbreath's comment: All I will say is in an ironic tone, "I agree now".

This song and dance on Billboard vs SpeedTree, Freeware versus Payware Scenery, People trying to get me out of the equation of 3D Vegetation ( Pofig and Jankvis for their own benefit ), discredit my hard efforts, and unwarranted attacks just got to me to even care to work harder to give people a better experience in Speedtree except for one person besides myself: GAWPO50 if still warranted.

I vowel to make sure if new content is requested by GAWPO50 to put all other SpeedTree Content to shame.
