Trainz Living Railroad: Dispatch Manager & Coal Country HD Terrain

Managing the complexities of a bustling railroad system is no easy task, but the new Living Railroad Dispatch Manager is here to simplify the process. This feature, designed for Trainz, centralizes the control and management of dispatch tasks, industry chains, and driver activity into one intuitive interface. Let’s dive into how this game-changing addition enhances gameplay for both hands-on operators and strategic managers.

Coal Country Gets an HD Terrain Makeover with Living Railroad Gameplay!

We’re excited to announce that Scratchy’s highly popular Coal Country route has been upgraded to HD Terrain and now includes a brand-new Trainz Living Railroad (TLR) session! This update breathes new life into the beloved route, offering enhanced visuals and dynamic gameplay that will immerse you like never before.

Multiplayer Surveyor Route Export: Create your routes online using Multiplayer Surveyor then export them to continue using them offline. Enjoy the flexibility to upload and download routes to and from MPS anytime with Trainz Plus. A new Publish Route to TCCP option is found in the Sharing Menu for TCCP Route export.

Surveyor 2.0 Bulk Replace: S20 now includes bulk replace functionality that operates seamlessly across both HD and legacy terrain. Replace one or more objects with a new asset across your entire route, significantly speeding up route creation and upgrades. A new Bulk Replace Filtered Assets option can be found by right clicking an asset in the Asset Palette. This should be used in conjunction with Filter Palette. This is a quick solution to users that require bulk replace functionality in S20 and on HD terrain. We have future plans to roll out new functionality to bulk operations.

Filter Palette: The Filter Palette allows you to further segment presets and picklists. By enabling or disabling specific assets within the Filter Palette, you gain precise control over the currently selected asset list. This is only available in Surveyor 2.0. Asset Palette filter categories relocated to the new Filter Palette. A new Select in Filter Palette option is found under the S20 assets contextual menu. Opens the Filter palette and highlights the asset under custom filter.

HD Terrain gives you 1600x more data density to manipulate and texture the terrain.

3D Thumbnails

Not all thumbnails are created equal, and for this reason the S20 Assets Palette now shows 3D previews of all your content.

22KM Draw Distance

We have increased the draw distance from 15km to 22km so now you can see even more detail than ever before!

HD terrain should go out to 30km regardless of your draw distance setting. You can set the master draw distance to 3km, it will still draw HD terrain out to 30km.

Effect Layers

The limit on total Effect Layer data size has been raised substantially allowing for a greater number of effect layers per route.

In addition to this, Clutter is now processed on the GPU giving better performance

(windows only).

Living Railroad

We've unified and overhauled the Surveyor "Properties" and Driver "View Details" windows to bring you a UI fit for the next generation of gameplay. New industry queue editors allow instant configuration of processes and commodity levels, and a powerful new "Activity Log" lists related railroad activity from all over the Route.

and much more...

Multiplayer Surveyor

The latest Trainz Plus update introduces a new era of route construction, all powered by MPS technology. We've substantially enhanced our MPS servers and client code to streamline cloud-based route development.

There are no restrictions concerning content. Our dedicated content team stands ready to assist in bundling new content into deployable packages, all to be used alongside your route. This encompasses all sorts of content, whether it's freshly created by you or the team, DLS content, or DLC content. It's all now available for integration into your MPS routes.

We are in the process of setting up several teams to work directly in MPS and our content team will be jumping in and out of their routes providing creation support. If you are interested in a collaborative environment to help build your route creations then this update is one for you!

Get Trainz Plus for all this and more!

WHAT IS SURVEYOR 2.0? (EXCLUSIVE TO TRAINZ PLUS)

Trainz has been best known for 20 years for the easy-to-use Surveyor world editing tools, with tens of thousands of amazing routes created by fans around the world.

Trainz Plus now delivers Surveyor 2.0 (S20), the first complete overhaul of the world building tools in 20 years!

Instead of dealing with assets one at a time, the new tools allow you to paint pre-built forests, towns and even yard ladders quickly and easily. Multiple items can be selected and moved or deleted in a few clicks.

Everything you need to do is a click or two away, and the best route building tools just got a whole lot better!

See the S20 online guide for more details.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR TRAINZ PLUS?

New features are added exclusively to Trainz Plus on a regular basis.

Our next update will include a new User Interface in S20 which allows the route owner to add or remove content packages for use in that route. This is primarily aimed at MPS but will allow a user to determine which installed packages are required if they wish to share their route with other players.

There are also a number of under the hood beta features including:

• .tzarc Compression (smaller files, faster loading)

• DX12 Support

• XAudio2 Support
