A lot of work has been put into complex animations like doors, flaps and gears. Also, the movement of trains, road vehicles, ships and planes is approximated according to the laws of physics. Vehicle details include working lights, transparent windows and interiors, visible drivers and passengers, adaptable painting colors and dynamic aging with dirt and rust. To finally confirm and actually build the track segment, press the button or press the button to dismiss the current proposal.Physically-based lighting and graphics ensure a high level of immersion.
If buildings have to be demolished to build the tracks, a yellow warning message will pop up and the buildings are highlighted in yellow. To better see the contours of the terrain it is recommended to use the contour lines layer while building rails along mountains. Please keep in mind that tracks can't be placed as steep as streets and there are minimal radius restrictions for tracks. Same counts for height adjustment of tracks. The dragging and snapping behavior can be controlled like the street behavior described above. As the speed is restricted by the radius of the curves, small numbers indicate what the final speed restrictions in that area will be. If you drag the track to an existing end, it will snap there too in a decent angle. It also depends on the direction in which you drag the track after you have pressed the mouse pointer. The build tool always tries to arrange the tracks in an arc in such a way that the transitions to existing track segments can be made without sharp bends.
In contrast to streets, there is no distinction between straight and curved build mode. By pressing on the slope indicator, the automatic slope alignment can be activated again.Īdditional height control is available before and while placing the new street segment: With SHIFT pressed, the steps are smaller for finer control. Then it is possible to manually select the desired slope gradient by using the and button. When that arrow button is pressed, the manual slope selection mode is activated. Then the segment is aligned to the terrain height at the end position. This can be disabled by pressing SHIFT too.Īfter releasing the left mouse button, an arrow button indicating the current slope appears at the end of the segment.
The street will snap to a straight segment when aligned within a few degrees. The area in which this effect occurs can be reduced by pressing SHIFT while dragging the street. In both modes, the streets usually snap to existing streets if they are near enough.
After releasing the left mouse button, it is possible to drag the end to another place by picking up the grey circle (that is highlighted blue on mouseover). To build a new street segment, click at the place where it should start and drag the mouse to the place where the street segment should end.
