Why can't we operate train lights and horns or rotate the trains in "My collection"?

Why can't we operate train lights and horns or rotate the trains in "My collection"?

I was curious about why there isn't a feature to operate lights, horns and to rotate the 3d train models in the "My collection" section, like with "Railyard" in older versions of Trainz?

Agree Od, loved the railyard and miss it

I really liked this feature, I miss it.

The nearest we have is the Preview Asset in CM.
The lighting is horrible and does not give a good impression of the vehicle, if only we could adjust the lighting.
It has very little appeal, but does magically fix errors when used!

@G.M. I just noticed that you have it in TRS19! How did you do that?

cheers,

I always found the lighting in the Railyard too dark and the view too restricted. As a result I hardly ever used it.

I much prefer the newer Preview Asset option as it does not restricted your viewpoint and can be used to view any visible scenery object. Plus I love the ability to test how an asset will affect your system performance.

haha Graham, for everything I always have a workaround since 2004


In this case, the original mesh that was used in the Railyard module
is still in the built-in game content, it's called <kuid:-1:717> inshed
I made a mesh-asset reference to that scenery item, so i could add dighole and adjust height
so:
-start a new route
-place inshed (or the mesh-asset reference)
-place 2 dighole (or lower the ground a bit) if needed
-place some invisible track
-adjust height to match
-place a traincar (if you want in a session)
-save


Still hope one day it returns in the game, can be done in less than an hour
