Railworks3 - Train Simulator 2012

[Tim]

Dopo qualche giorno di prova posso ufficialmente dire che nella performance non è cambiato praticamente niente

[Bremen]

Sarebbe stato strano il contrario.

Quel "team" non riuscirà mai a sistemare i casini in un motore grafico fallato di base.

[Bremen]

La "nuova" patch doveva uscire a metà dicembre dopo 2 settimane di betatest.
Visto che avevano paura dell'ennesimo epicfail hanno assoldato altri 300 betatester.
Dopo oltre 1 mese e mezzo dall'annuncio della patch non si è ancora vista una possibile data per la release.

Domanda: il codice beta degli RS.com fà realmente cosi tanto schifo o quelle che per loro sono modifiche pesanti al codice in realtà non esistono?

[Bremen]

"It's called an NDA and they do not have 300 any more they are down to 230. They dropped 70 people for blabbing in the forums/facebook about being a beta tester. "
http://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showthread ... date/page1

Quindi dire di far parte del beta test è un peccato talmente grave da portare alla cancellazione dello stesso betatester.

Chissà cosa ne direbbero i Betatester di diablo3... di dota2... di #altri_giochi dove fare il betatester è normale e parlarne in pubblico, entro limiti, è NORMALISSIMO.

Sempre più EpicFail.

[Tim]

Tra l'altro non mi sembra che nell'NDA che è stata accettata come beta tester sia incluso l'obbligo di non dire di essere beta tester:

Vabbè il succo è che sono ridicoli in ogni cosa che fanno

[Bremen]

Quoto.

Tra l'altro hai notato come le due liste siano "quasi identiche"? Probabilmente esiste una lista tipo e tutti usano quella, oppure gli epicfail l'hanno copiata e adattata.

Ovviamente sarà un update stratosferico che aumenterà la qualità della simulazione e la velocità di rendering del motore grafico.

Non posso sempre postare che sarà l'ennesimo epicfail... sarebbe troppo facile.

[Brighello]

Queste due frasi sono il riassunto della discussione

This is why I have grave reservations about the "casual" means of releasing information, as opposed to a structured and official section on the official website

after trolling through all announcements RSC made.. I saw nothing..

[Bremen]

Rullo di tamburi.

"Train Simulator 2012 will be updated on Steam around 19:00 (UK time) on 8 February. This will be an automatic update for all TS2012 users as soon as you next go online."

Questa è la lista dei nuovi bug:

Fix for floating grills

Digital Clocks illuminate at night - Nomination per il bug più inutile del millennio.

Less GPU stalling at high frame rates - Vedremo.

FXAA replaces MLAA - Te credo...

Brake pipe pressure gauge fully working in HUD

Fix for mixed double head steam running out of fuel

Fix for facing double head steam fighting

Particle optimisations (e.g. exhaust effects) - Male non fa..

Multicore improvements - Rivedremo.

Superelevation works on 3D track - 5 mesi... non male.

Smoothed ‘dirty network building’ to stop stutters - BOH???

FXAA less blurry when SSAA enabled

Electric power on 3rd rail with no pantograph - WHAT??

Scenery decals are correctly lit

Seasonal lighting up times - Un tantino criptico.

Anti-Aliasing issues with precipitation fixed

Smoothness improvements in scenery streaming - Mai troppo tardi.

Manca il fix per le ombre dei loft... ma dato che la segnalazione l'ho fatta io.. non l'avranno manco presa in considerazione.

[Bremen]

LIsta rivista e corretta da un altro EF.com - Miei commenti in blu.
http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 2&start=15

Fixes:

Fix for floating grills

Kuju RailSimulator Bridge Lofts fixed - Solo 5 anni per un fix.

Kuju RailSimulator Digital Clocks do not illuminate at night - Idem come prima. Bug del secolo.

Fix for crash in ScriptManager update

Use actual frame timing rather than time sliced frame timing for edit camera, so frame rate is consistent with camera motion - Questo sembra sensato.

Fix for showing incorrect FPS with shift + z -

Less GPU stalling at high frame rates by flushing the command buffer when 2 frames are queued for rendering - Questo dovrebbe ridurre l'effetto "elastico".. ma finche non provo non credo.

Unstepped rather than unclamped for frame time updates on camera

Physics transformation interpolation for Player RV geometry and Physical cab camera - Ninzo

FXAA replaces MLAA

Brake pipe pressure gauge fully working in HUD

Increased protection against skidrow cracks - Chissà quanti si lamenteranno..su certi forum... .
