Trainz Plus is a quarterly update provided to active Gold Class members. Each quarter we will be providing new features as well as access to certain upcoming features to gather feedback. Many of these features (or probably most of them) will end up being included in a future version of Trainz.

Contents

Trainz Plus Update 1 - Q1, 2019

Our first Trainz Plus update includes:

  • a range of new camera options for both Driver and Surveyor
  • a new menubar in Surveyor
  • a new Session Logging window
  • a new font size option for CM

We’re also including the following in-development systems:

  • Console Controller support (Windows only)
  • Trainz Package uploader (for Content Creator in-game submissions)

For our Q2 update, we are planning to provide a sneak peek at a new Unified Driver/Surveyor option where you can switch back and forth between modules, with your progress optionally saved as you go along.

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).
