The countdown has begun...
TRS19 - Early Access Is Coming!
- Thread starter Tony_Hilliam
- Start date
A couple of questions please Tony, which I'm sure will also be of interest to other customers.
Will Steam customers (such as myself) have early access via that platform as well as those purchasing direct from N3V?
What will the early access deal and price be vs. waiting for the full release?
Given the glimpses in the teaser can you now confirm the default routes - the Canadian one obviously, but also looks like a German prototype (very nice) and a Russian route (bring it on!).

File size: 7.5GB for Early Access. Several more GB for the additional builtin content. 100GB+ for TANE builtin and DLC.
Specs, the short answer is: If you run TANE, you will run TRS19 on "like-for-like" settings at a similar frame rate.
The longer answer is:
Higher end hardware will generally see some improvements on "like-for-like" settings, and some lower end hardware that run TANE with PP off will see a slight performance drop (due to PP being required for TRS19).
There are two main new features that require higher end hardware to work well - Ultra Shaders and TurfFx. If you have mid-range hardware you may need to lower some other settings (like shadows or draw distance) to enable the new features.
Every single shot.

TurfFx is an Nvidia product so it would be GPU based. Ultra Shaders, at a guess, would also be GPU based.

I am excited for the early access. But I will be stupid and turn TurfFx on anyways on my Windows 7 PC tower even if I did not get a GPU upgrade yet...
But will TRS2019 even be available for Windows 7?... Anyways,it seems TANE is seeing the "Golden years" now...

TRS2019 is already replacing TANE...even in the Trainz gallery it has replaced TANE... and TRS2019 early access isn't even available yet...:hehe:

As I always do, I will buy into the new version at some point. Whether or not I do at at the Early Access point depends on several factors, not least of which is the ready availability of British content. The teaser shows American, Australian (naturally) and German stock but Britain, as the birthplace of railways, is conspicuous by its absence.
