Train Simulator 2012 First Look: Multiple Asset Placement (MAP)

This video shows World Editor technology which will be included in Train Simulator 2012, available this September. This is a technical demo and does not show the finished software. The World Editor will allow rapid placement of multiple or 'block' assets: instead of selecting assets of a fixed size then arranging them in the world as in Railworks 2, you will be able to select an area of ground, select the asset required (e.g. bushes, crates, trees) then simply drag the boundaries of the asset box until it covers the required area. The assets within the box automatically conform to hills and undulations of the ground, allowing you (for example) to forest a hilly area very quickly and realistically. Train Simulator 2012 will be available to buy in September 2011 and will be a free upgrade to everyone who plays Railworks 2.

[Shagnarsty]

I love the old auran editor, so much simpler than this one, also you wanna be driving trains and not doing landscape gardening ffs

Hey can you guys make the valve gear on the steamers move when you change the cut-off. The challenger is always set to forward full cut-off even when I'm in reverse.

[conor8262TV]

I was trying to make some forest in RW2 today, and thought of this... then I decided to way another month...

[tin2001]

This looks awesome. And should come just in time for me to be getting back into creating the route I attempted to start 12 months ago.

[trainz10]

Marvellous! A very useful tool it looks. :) I am looking forward to more of the features for Train Simulator 2012. :)

Keep up the good work!

[hikariyouk]

ooi, does it automatically not place any objects on top of existing assets, if, for example, you dump a forest on top of a building?

[sc1ffyp]

Intrigued! Заинтригован!

[gtafan2006]

oh thank god this will be perfect for my trimet max route im building now i wont have to place individual buildings and trees! now to find dem data for 1/4th of a mile on either side of the green line from clackamas to gateway station. and then figure out what to do with that dem data.

[xrayPL]
