Trainz Plus - Update 1 Details
Cameras
We’ve redesigned the Trainz Camera System to unify the controls (and code) between Driver and Surveyor, and also expanded the functionality with several new camera modes.
The Camera Menu from Driver has been expanded and is now also available in Surveyor, providing similar functionality in both modules. The options are:
- Cab
- Chase
- Lineside
- Roaming
- Car
- Walk
- Fly
- Drone
- Map
Camera swaps include a new “smoothed transition” where possible, avoiding sudden snaps from location to location. This includes a new new zoom option when focused on your loco. You can now smoothly zoom in from Chase mode to Cab mode and vice versa. You need to apply sufficient mousewheel “pressure” to move through the walls. i.e . scrolling slowly will not change your view, while scrolling faster will do so.
We’re also working on pre-loading of objects when the camera changes to make those transitions less jarring (not yet complete).
For help using each of the camera modes, see Help: Driver Menu Camera
Surveyor Menubar
Trainz Plus introduces a new Menubar in Surveyor. This provides greater consistency across the modules and provides easy access for the new Camera Modes.
