Neues Trainz Angekündigt

  • Wobei man fairerweise sagen muss.



    Das DTG wohl nicht (nur) wegen der Grafik Upgradet. Sondern weil man mit der Unreal Engine generell sehr sehr sehr viel mehr machen kann.
    Läuft auch besser. (Ich muss nur dran denken, das ein Crysis 3, welches seeeehr viel besser als TS ausschaut, deutlich mehr FPS raus quetscht. Ist ja auch logisch, unterstützt neuere Funktionen von GPUs)
    Hinzu kommt auch, das dass Grund Gerüst von TS, was nun-mal immer noch seine wurzeln im MSTS hatte, vermutlich schon lange aus dem letzten loch pfeift. Einige Bugs und Fehler werden sich da vermutlich auch nicht so einfach ohne kompletter neu Programierung beheben lassen. (Erfahrungswerte aus anderen alten Engines/Programmen mit solchen Problemen, Second Life z.b.)
    Wobei natürlich auch die frage ist, in wie weit der Kuju Code kommentiert ist, früher wurde sowas gerne mal vergessen, oder außer acht gelassen. (Second Life ist da mal wieder ein tolles beispiel für.)


    Da kann man dann auch gleich den schritt zu einer neuen, Leistungsfähigen Engine machen.

  • Hier mal ein Ausschnitt aus der Mail nach den Umfragen:



    SURVEY RESULTS


    Of course, one of the major reasons for the survey was regarding the
    priority of features for this and future versions of Trainz. The Initial
    Goal voting was very close with over 1,500 votes recorded so
    far. Interestingly, Option C, which came third overall was easily the
    most popular #2 choice, while #4 was first choice for 22% of respondents
    but "last choice" for 40% of respondents.

    Statistics compiled from 1500+ Initial Goal Votes


    Luckily it looks like all 4 goals will be implemented for release as pledges are still coming in via our store at: http://anewera.trainzportal.com/.
    With $11,000 more to raise in the coming few months we're confident we
    will get all four items into the release build (in fact we've built this
    into our schedule already).


    STRETCH GOALS


    The most interesting results were always going to be analyzing the
    order of the remaining Stretch Goals. With 25 goals to choose from and a
    wide variety of interests to please, we weren't sure which items would
    come out on top. In the end, the results show a real mix with
    operational/prototypical systems, visual enhancements and world building
    tools/improvements filling the top 10 slots.

    Statistics compiled from 500+ respondents



    For the statistically minded, the priority order was calculated by
    multiplying all first choice votes by 7, then 2nd choice votes by 6 and
    so on. (In fact, the order was almost identical just by counting the
    number of votes received for each item). The figures shown are the
    percent of points tallied from the total points. So the Top 10 items
    accounted for 65% of votes and the bottom 15 items made up the other 35%
    of votes.

    While optimizations came 11th overall, it was the highest "7th vote"
    choice indicating that many people were thinking "I would like these 6
    things, but I also want things optimized". Speedtree had little support
    as a #1 priority vote, but gathered much more support in the final
    voting positions.

    Catenary had reasonable support at every voting priority, but just
    not enough to get it into the top 10 spots. Both multiplayer and
    multiplatform had good "top priority" support but little support below
    that, indicating how some things are really very important to some
    people, but they are in a minority. We will certainly take all this
    information on board as we plan future updates.

    Here is the full list of results:

    • Train Physics 8.5%
    • Weather Special Effects 7.9%
    • Animated Industries 7.6%
    • World Building Tools 7.6%
