I really love Trainz, but the fact that N3V Games can't just give us an update is just frustrating, especially if you're going to spend 100 something dollars on a new Trainz game (like this one besides TRS19). I just really hope the Trainz community and N3V games sees this and understand while it's incredible, for me personally, I'm not going to spend 100 dollars on a game, which in reality, is just a simple update in my eyes. Just please fix this and just make everyone feel happy and grateful.
Looking forward to your 2nd look at surveyor 2.0. I was following you in my own version and it really helped to see someone else discovering the many features. So far, from what I've seen and tried, this is a winner for anyone building a route. Might take some time to get used to the new layout. Would probably help if people would read the manual but then, who RTFM these days. And then people complain that companies don't publish complete manuals like in the good old days.

That scrapbook feature is pretty good but it does upset a lot of the scenery, I had to adjust all the track and other stuff. I can see it'll be a powerful feature though.
Been with this francise since Trainz 2004. Spent many, many hours building, or transforming routes, attempting full auto run on routes. After 2016 little changed IMO except for the price. Switched to factory games, as to me it was about solving the economic problems in the route. Noticed I'm missing the gandeur of a full fledged trainsim though.
It's good that you can paint in huge circumferences. It would be great if you could paint in smaller ones especially less than that 5 meter. The deficiency shows when you tried to lay ballast and the saw tooth affect occurs along the grid where track goes out of parallel with the grid. This you see from 2002 and now even 20 years later. That is a disappointment. A fine paint brush is needed often times. All of that other functionality shown is very good. What machine specs are required to run it on? Show a stress test of it with massive, buildings, trees, mountains and about 15 locomotives, running at once.
Hi Approach Medium. Those rotation tools will come in handy for my Japanese routes. Now being able to rotate dense urban environments to all angles not locked to a grid will come in handy.
they were supposed to have improved trainz's lighting system, it's the only thing missing for this simulator to be top. They need to leave the camera also free like the Train Simulator, as well as their lighting.
New cameras (and "Free" too) are already available in Trainz + , and will be included in TS2022 as a basic built-in feature. Talking about lighting... Both light system and sound engine are the weakest features of Trainz since it born in 2001... New engine makes the environment look not worse than in Train simulator by DTG, but there're no even simple shader-based light emitters with no shadows. Simple sound engine doesn't allow occlusion, reverb and pitch effects and even can't read cue points from wav files to process seamless one file loops (Trainz needs three of them for the start, loop and finish event).
sorry i'm not super familiar with trainz, but how does it work if somebody has content that you don't? can you use it anyways? can it not be used? will a placeholder appear on the other person's screen?
I've got the TRS 22 installed through gold sub, set it to trs22 beta but I forgot see surveyor 2 option in the drop down menu only 'classic surveyor' Ctrl F1 permanently enabled. What an I doing wrong
I only use Trainz as a tool to build my own routes so I would like to be able to a) Import Terrain from Google Earth simply without watching tutorials and giving up because it is so complicated b) easily adjust the height and compass orientation of the route c) Make it easy to create my own objects and to reskin other content for my own use. d) Make it possible to delete all content except for that used in my routes built in previous versions of Trainz.
Will take some getting used to, but 99% of what i see is super cool. Having the move, place, get object, etc. tools separated from each asset/track/tool tab is great for more efficient building, along with group select and better placement precision. Still wish we could have wider FOV ranges and agree with wanting to still use brackets for texture rotation, even if it just changes the value automatically rather than a spinny dial
I would like to now what graphics card and processor you are using and or would be recommended.. my laptop has intel i7 9th gen and RTX 2040 graphics card and Trainz 2019 will still frame glitch in driver mode on me. I hope that N3V will take your recommendedations on the glitchs you saw and makes tweeks.
Unfortunately due to hardness with replacing completely all addons Trainz probably will not make game on another engine like UE. But I hope they will make good modification with volumetric lights and best performance
@@DaddyWeatherman , honestly, it would be nice to have just simple light emitters at all !!! In engine with PBR workflow!!! In 2021. Volumetric light... Silly.
Looks like they took some of my comments as a AutoCAD user and implemented them. Are the toolbars able to be dragged of the screen and not just around the screen?
Thanks, AM. Love your reviews, etc. But I just don't see anything in this version that says "rush out and buy me". Some of the Surveyor tools are nice and handy here and there, but for $70 per year I'd like wow, that's brilliant. I'm seeing a lot of MOTS. The brush tool should actually be made smaller, still can't get into tight spaces. I use a few steam-era routes intensely (like H&W), and couldn't care less about 1000s of routes and locomotives. And how do you get $100s of payware, plus all your assets, routes, locos and so on from 19 to 22? Will they even work if you do? Everyone is focusing on S2.0, but how do you simply set this monster up and get it going? What am I missing?
It can be implemented using a scripted rule or loco's behavior (Derail train if it met the condition). But basically - no, you can even ride along the track, twisted vertically.
@@ajstevenson4181 because there's way more stuff that needs to be added and fixed before they start spending time and money on extras like that, especially when the game doesn't need it since it's a train sim and not a crash sim... n3v doesn't have much money or much manpower, there's WAY more important things to work on so they need to prioritize
Nothing like 3 years for a new UI. A almost unnoticeable graphics improvement. Same game engine from 10 years ago, lackluster locomotive quality and detail.
Honest opinion? The new editor is worse in its usability and it looks more like graphic editor instead. Less user-friendly, more clicks needed. I would complete removed RMB menu for example and make it into panel changing based on context. How do you even create circles without spline points? does the search finally work in fulltext (not just the first letters of the asset)? Editing picklist outside of the editor only? Trainz really had the best editor of all train games before but now... I don't now... might be just slightly better than horrible and clunky experience with Railworks editor.
Terrible editor at Railworks? It's even worse in Railroad Online. Even if you're in a UN4 environment, it's a real horror. Combine the benefits of the editors from Railworks and Trainz, tweak them a bit more - and you'd have an excellent rail editor. And of course in some modern engine - Unreal4 or Unity...
not really impressed: GUI needs major revamp K.I.S.S. is a rule lose the AUTOCAD complexity by 99% nobody here is running nvidia quandro cards to game with anyways. the R in RTX is not available, so GTX is just perfect. didn't remove all the buggy assets, aka out of date broken missing dependencies etc. if it doesn't work with everything in nv3 by default and is dlc nix it for newer all versions. authors can fix it and resubmit if they care to. sucks for them if they create 100's of things that don't port well in every new version. win11 goes live soon, will they pull another OS has to be 11 or newer, wouldn't be surprised. win10 has ray tracing in the new direct x since it debuted and they still don't utilize it 5-7 years later?! Judging from approach's stutter and lag, even his RTX3060 isn't enough, looks like every one is going to need to upgrade to AMD AM4 and Intel 12th gen DDR5
The switches on those tracks are beyond horrible. Even a 10y/o Railworks could make a much better switch with switch tracks and frogs. This looks the same as in the old Trainz 2004. And what about using more displays? I´d like to have a clean view on my first display and all the lists on a second display, does the game allow that? And what about height limit? Does it allow me to build tracks above 3000 meters above the sea level, or is the stupid height lock still there?

Running a core i7 7700k at 4.3 GHz with a 1080ti. Trainz is on a dedicated SSD but I’m not sure how much that helps.
The new equivalent of the plateau tool is to use the grade tool at 0%. All of this is in the docs. ;)
