Yeah, I'm fairly sure it's triggered when you drive onto the station block, and sometimes shows up ~3km before the station.

So is there something wrong with it or what? It's super weird just seeing a yellow wave show up in front of you when you're driving by open fields. Why doesn't it show up close? Also, I would just like to point out that aside from People drawing distance, which I have limited to 350m, all my other LOD distances are maxed, including the grass drawing percentage (does that setting even do anything?), LOD bias is set to 1 and switch distance 90m.

So this is kind of one obvious missing thing. Every train sim that I remember playing (pretty much ever) had a static camera (one that moved independently of the train). That way one could set up beautiful flyby shots of trains running by. Or maybe even a cinematic camera of some sorts? One that movies from point A to point B (maybe with even a few different angles? I know that's asking much 😆, but it would be a bit better/stand out among all that came before).

Yeah. They basically disabled us from uploading any decent images. Which is fine, I understand it can get very bandwidth-intensive (although it is a Playtest and images might help us document a bug). I wish that at the very least they would let us still embed images into posts (using img tag?), even if the images have to be hosted elsewhere like imgbb.

So, I have over 20 hours in the Playtest so far, and just now for the first time ever I drove to Katowice (instead of from). Got some really cool screenshots passing by the turntable and roundhouse there (not sure if it's still used IRL). Also, the weather and lighting in this game can be phenomenal. I keep wanting to jump on at different times of the day just to see the various weather/lighting conditions.

I figured I would start a new topic so this gets more exposure. At the moment, the game has a single setting for all the textures. Since we cannot gain more control over the precise size of the textures, the alternative would be to give us more control as to which textures we are affecting. What I mean is - the "Texture Size" setting should be split into "World Textures", "Vehicle Textures" and "Environment Textures". That way, a user can have nice large textures on something he looks at all the time (trains), whilst turning down the environment textures to a lower setting. I mean, at the very least, give us one for trains and one for world, that way I can have nice high resolution textures inside the cab, whilst the world is a little worse.

So this is a particularly annoying visual bug. It's probably the only one I really mind at the moment. Some of the grass has some weird LOD issues. I think that it's the yellow grass that has like green grass as like the 2nd or 3rd LOD. All you see is a wave of yellow like 100 to 200 meters in front of you in a circle. https://i.ibb.co/WphCLJ3/SR-Yellow-Grass.jpg

Here is a peculiar thing I noticed in regards to the "missing things" problem. It happens to me specifically on the Katowice - Sędziszów section, and I noticed that ONLY when I have already played before. I finished a run on the Katowice - Warszawa Wschodnia section, finished it, returned to the Main Menu, then went back onto the same server and did a Katowice - Sędziszów run in the EU07. Everything is missing. Loaded back to Main Menu, again onto the Katowice - Sędziszów run, this time in a different server, scenery missing again. Restarted the game, went directly into a Katowice - Sędziszów run, everything is proper, as it should be. So it seems to only happen when you load in AFTER you have already played, and has nothing to do with dispatching as in all instances I was driver.

@uetam I think there is only one solution to this. Since we cannot gain more control over the precise size of the textures, the alternative would be to give us more control as to which textures we are affecting. What I mean is - the "Texture Size" setting should be split into "World Textures", "Vehicle Textures" and "Environment Textures". That way, a user can have nice large textures on something he looks at all the time (trains), whilst turning down the environment textures to a lower setting. I mean, at the very least, give us one for trains and one for world, that way I can have nice high resolution textures inside the cab, whilst the world is a little worse.

Ah yes, dang. I misunderstood. Power of two and multiple of 4 are not the same thing.

This is not a game suggestion, but rather a forum suggestion. I've been noticing a prevalent count of Czech speaking players, and as such, was wondering if it maybe would be a good idea to give them a section in their native language, much like the DE section. Thank you for your consideration.

A. Uwielbiam twoją ksywę. Jestem rówieśnikiem "Ue tam niema co" 😛 B. Czy planujecie coś z tym lekkim zwieszaniem zrobić?

I'm not saying the game stutters the whole time, I said: So to re-iterate, most of the time the game runs fine. Every once in a while, every few minutes or so whilst driving, the game will stutter for 1-2 seconds, and then everything will be fine again.

I thought all development team members had "SIMRail Team" under their name?

Yeah, but if say a texture is 4096x4096, can't you make the options 3072x3072, 2048x2048, and 1024x1024?

I would like this as well, but I'm not sure if that will be possible, at least without any sort of loading screen.

Dude there are forum sections for reporting problems. Why must you come in here and ruin the post with screenshots you should have posted in the other forum?

Here are some shots of train lights. The exterior shots are of the ELF EN96, whilst the in-cab shots are from an E186 TRAXX. Each loco has a shot with Low and High beams. The ELF does have slightly better lights than the TRAXX, but both are absolutely adequate for lighting up your way at night.

What drivers you running Schnauzahpowahz? I'm running a 6600 XT and that is one I have not seen. I have seen the rails being funny colors a while back in the beginning of the Playtest, like once, but nothing like the above.

I love it.

Same. At first I thought it was something on my end, seeing as how the server status on the main SimRail forum page has players in some of the servers, but now I'm fairly confident they took down the main server, and the main page just displays the last received info (player numbers haven't changed in over an hour).

So I was thinking this would be a pretty cool addition. Spectator slots - this would let you connect to a multiplayer session, choose a start point and spawn on foot without any responsibilities, and maybe be able to even ride the trains?

Proste pytanko, ile jeszcze potrwa teraźniejszy Playtest?

To samo przytrafiło mi się już kilka razy. Mam nadzieje że dojdą do tego i naprawią.

It's not a system bottleneck, it's something with the game. It happens every few minutes (maybe loading new area or something), and the game freezes for 1-2 seconds. I know it happens to others because it happens to my friends as well as YouTubers.
