There were two variants: the G 8 built from 1902 with a 14 tonne axle load and the 'reinforced G 8' (Verstärkte G 8) built from 1913 (later designated the G 8.1) with a 17-tonne (17-long-ton; 19-short-ton) axle load. The latter was the most numerous German state railway (Länderbahn) locomotive, over 5,000 examples being built.

Future releases will build on the groundwork here by way of advancing clutter to completely replace turffx. Static performance (fps) should be as good or better. Dynamic performance (fps while moving the camera) should be better. The latency of clutter updates in response to camera movement should be substantially better. The latency of clutter updates in response to editing should be substantially better. Available to all WINDOWS builds. MacOS has this feature disabled due to a late-cycle-identified critical bug. HD Terrain This is a new selectable baseboard option, not a drop-in replacement for the existing options. This will be the default for new routes, and the existing options are deprecated. Render performance is equivalent to existing terrain while sustaining a much higher visual quality. Editing performance will vary depending on the demands placed on the tools. Basic editing remains smooth, however HD scrapbook edits may be noticeably jerky in this release. Improved spatial resolution. 0.125m, as compared to 5.0m previously. Down to 2.0m is lossless; lower than that uses lossy compression. Less texturing flexibility (16 textures per baseboard, down from 250). This can be mitigated by: Clever texture management. Scrapbooking various texture patterns together using a small brush radius. Generous use of clutter effects to reduce the visibility of the underlying texture. Increased spatial resolution. Improved visual quality. Use of vertex color painting (Color Tint Effects Layer). Pave the way for Ray-tracing compatibility. Clean minimap transition. The legacy "low lod" / "minimap" textures are visibly different from the terrain textures, and so there is a jarring transition. That won't happen with single-pass HD Terrain as it renders the 3D terrain for map view. Continuous LOD. Detail will gradually reduce into the distance rather than entire blocks of terrain changing LOD at the same time. Tessellation is used to increase the polygon count near the camera. This allows for the display of the HD height data and for displacement mapping, without requiring excessive increases to the scene poly count. The extent of tessellation depends on the shader detail setting. Displacement mapping is use...Trainz Plus - HD Terrain update and more!Jul 27, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42131261/7e7d8499e132ad3264b00b09058ecc77201095fb.png 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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42131261/6381e7e7c50beb28e91fb388be7f40129149b65a.png 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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42131261/d968244fb3089c93dd7c1b0bee2597381ffe9b0b.gif 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).

This release also delivers a "Service Pack 1" update for TRS22 users to maintain compatibility for routes and content between TRS22 and Trainz Plus builds. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42131261/4e232ca4cbcf3af8fe01e7ef14514ed335ae0dff.jpg The latest update includes the following highlights: Custom Content Package support* TZARC compression - 50% reduction in file size Update to Trainzbuild 5.2 Improved audio - XAudio2 sound system API update for PC End of official support for Windows 7 A range of other tweaks and bug fixes * Note: Configuration requires Surveyor 2.0 / Trainz Plus. Content Package Palette The new Content Package palette now available in Surveyor 2.0 provides the ability to enable and disable various content packages for use in a route. This system is required to enable additional content for MPS routes. It will also greatly benefit all route builders by identifying which packages are being used in your own routes, and those which you plan on sharing or uploading to the DLS. This means that Trainz Plus members can now enable any existing DLC packages for use in their MPS routes, and other users will then be prompted to install the required packages prior to entering the route. Custom Content Packages It is also possible to create your own custom packages through the Trainz Content Creation Program. As this is a new system, we’re looking for a couple of teams interested in working closely with our content team to iron out any kinks in the process. Just submit your package through TCCP and let us know in the comments you're interested in MPS. Full details about Content Packages can be found in this wiki link. TZARC Compression All users (TRS22 and Trainz Plus) will benefit from this feature which reduces the size of .tzarc files by roughly 50%. There are three main benefits to TZARC compression: Faster downloads (twice the speed since DLC packages are half the size) Lower on-disk footprint (including for the built-in content) Potentially faster loading, especially on slower drives (depends on your hardware) Note that your existing installed content is not automatically reduced in size. It requires either a resave for modified content or a new package downloaded for DLC items. Improved Audio This is a back-end update that brings support for the latest Microsoft sound API to PC users. This resolves a rare but long-standing bug in the OpenAL API (where Trainz would crash when you reached 63mph) and delivers improved sound across the board. Please note that there are no other changes to the internal sound system. That project is a major undertaking and will be addressed when we find more time in our schedule. End of Windows 7 Support XAudio2 ships with Windows 10 and as a redistributable for older Windows versions. As Microsoft updates their API, it is likely that Win 7 initially, and then Win 8 will no longer be supported.

If you've been part of the Trainz Community over the past 20 years, then we're glad to see you're still here and still enjoying building worlds, operating railroads and driving your favorite trains. If you're new here, then it's time to jump on board and begin your new journey in Trainz. Discover the magic that has kept people coming back year after year since 2001. In TRS22 you'll find five routes from around the world with incredible detailed scenery that stretches up to 15km into the distance. With over 400 different train cars included (locos, freight, passenger) there's something for everyone. And with our easy to use world building tools, you can build your own world from scratch or find a route you like and expand upon that. And now in TRS22 you can build and drive online with friends in our new Multiplayer Surveyor mode. If what's in the box isn't enough and you want to expand your journey, there are literally thousands more routes and trains to choose from on the Trainz Download Station (and your TRS22 purchase includes a First Class Ticket which gets you premium download speeds). There's also an option to get even more out of Trainz with our "Trainz Plus" monthly or annual memberships. This gives you a huge list of bonus content and new features are added on a regular basis.
