changedHD Terrain gives you 1600x more data density to manipulate and texture the terrain.
changed22KM 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.
changedEffect 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).
addedLiving 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.
addedMultiplayer 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.
addedThere 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.
