dis0nored Posted January 21 Posted January 21 oh glorious steam! steam heating would be very exciting to see in this game, especially for the old wagon types you have just introduced recently in the full release. It would look something like this. The passangers are cold and they need heating now. 3
Gazz292 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 That would be an awesome visual to add, wonder how badly it will affect the fps rate tho, some people say the steam from the cylinder cocks being open tanks their FPS. 1

Well in the history of train simulation SimRail is the first of it's kind to require a 16gb vram graphics card which is something i have right now. It's a valid point. Tho there is mention here and there the development team is aiming to optimise the game more. However its not really something that has a set date. It's a tough spot to be in.
Gazz292 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 i get by with my 8gb vram on my RTX3070Ti laptop edition gfx card, getting a steady 'clamped' 60 fps most of the time... tho it can drop to 40 or so in the biggest stations... normally 30fps is enough for a train simulator, but i notice under 40 fps as my TrackIr movement goes a little less smooth than i'd like. i have every setting as high as it will go, except for mirrors off, vegetation density slider at 85% (this gains me 10 fps alone) and i reduce the grass draw multiplier slider a bit... more so i don't get grass growing over the tracks... but i've since learnt that IRL on some parts of the tracks modeled inSimRail, they are pretty run down and do actually have lots of grass growing through the ballast. but i know a lot of people struggle to run SimRail on systems that should handle it well, so maybe have a 'steam / smoke' density slider so people can control how much of those lovely visuals they get if we get leaky steam heating pipes added. 1 2
dis0nored Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 See if a colaboration between Simrail Dev and Derail Valey dev for steam. DV dev is very deterimend on optimisation and performance and their steam looks good. See how they went about it.
