Trainz Plus is a quarterly update for our Gold Class Members delivering new features and a range of improvements and optimisations. The first of these updates is now available by selecting the Trainz Plus patch stream from the TRS19 Launcher.
With more options, more control over the cameras, and new transitions from one location to another, your Trainz experience is going to feel smoother.
Walk camera lets you stroll down the tracks with the camera at eye height, and holding shift will speed up your camera.
Fly camera lets you fly anywhere around the world and just move your mouse to change elevation or direction.
Drone camera is similar to fly but lets you hover in a single location or attach to and follow a train. You can use PgUp and PgDn to change elevation.
Car cam lets you follow any of the Carz on the roads (but no internal view...yet ;), and you can smoothly change between certain camera modes by zooming in or out.
Positioning your viewpoint for the perfect screenshot is easier than ever before, and getting into just the right position during a coupling operation is now a breeze.
