ice...I'm not quite sure what you said, but I believe I get the general meaning.
True...if someone doesn't like Speedtrees (with a capital S...

) they don't have to buy Trs2010. I disagree, however, that previous versions of the software looked like a comic book...well...maybe the way some used it. The only improvement I can see in the graphics is for modellers who design locos and buildings in 3Dsmax...a program that few of us can afford. I see very little of interest in your screenshots. The farm building is nice...but where is the rest of the layout? The nuclear power plant looks like a cartoon...not realistic at all. Like I said before...I'm from Missouri...Show Me something that will make me want to buy this product. The last 4 times I regretted my purchase. I'm not doing that again, unless I see something that looks like its worth it. Auran's recent track record has made me come to the sad conclusion that they can sink or swim as far as I'm concerned.
Justin...sorry man...you may like the way your locos look...but the topography, vegetation, textures, and the rest of the route in that screenshot looks like crap.
Cheers,
Fred
