For years and years I have struggled to figure out why Trainz often looks less realistic than the other sims. With Trainz 2019, the lighting and other graphical additions do really give a sense of realism but in some cases it still looks like a model, as if the locos aren't as big as they should be.
I feel like i've discovered why.
That sense of scale is hindered by the Trainz camera. If in camera mode 2, you're always looking down at your train, if you try to adjust the angle otherwise you end up with the wheels cut off.
This appears to be because the centre of the camera is the top of the loco, rather than the middle or the bottom.
Example of zooming in in camera mode 2, you can tell the camera centre is high up on the loco,
If the camera centre was in the centre of the loco you would have a different perspective and sense of scale. It's hard to get a good example as the free roam camera is on the floor.
What are your thoughts? do you agree?
If this is really the case maybe N3V could adjust it or at least give the option?
