Week 22/2023
May 29th - June 4th, 2023

Simulator
  • During the past several weeks, the developers have been trying to fix the "broken shaders" issue, which could be noticed as "shining" of many objects and improper rendering of them (as seen on the screenshots below). Because of that, the release of next version has been delayed by a month, effectively making it impossible to be published in May. To resolve the issue, all of the changes made since April needed to be revised with step-by-step analysis which of them could have been the source of the issue. Fortunately, the problem has been resolved and moreover, Unity has been upgraded to version 2022.3.0f1 LTS. That means, we're currently heading straight to the release of new version 2023.1. During the current week, test compilation is going to be shared with Sponsors. However, we'd like to emphasize, that the release of EP09 locomotive, announced earier, will not be the part of new version. It is currently scheduled to be added to the 2023.2 version of simulator, which is going to be released later this year.

Week 25/2023

Simulator

A new version of the simulator has been released - 2023.1.1 "Ypsilon". Key changes include:
  • Updated Unity engine to version 2022.3 LTS - this is another stable release of Unity that will be used for at least a year. With this update, a new rendering type called “forward+” has been introduced, which eliminates the limit on the number of lights that can illuminate a single object. This change allows for effects like the following:


The 2023.1.1 version has a significant bug that prevents correct spawning of rolling stock in some configurations. The release of version 2023.1.2, which will fix this and several other minor bugs, is scheduled for the first week of July.

Bogus_PB - Added the 206S and 206Sh wagons to the simulator.

Special edition - week 34/2023
« Odpowiedź #42 dnia: 28 Sierpnia 2023, 13:30:41 »

Dear Members of the TD2 Simulator Community,

Exactly a year ago, on August 28, 2022, the first edition of the "Week in the Simulator" series was released. It was very well received by all of you, and it naturally evolved into a unique channel of communication between the Simulator Team and you, providing you with the latest information every week about what's happening around the simulator, often from the behind-the-scenes perspective. Today, we present to you the fifty-third edition of our weekly magazine, which aims to summarize all significant events from the past year and also outline the Team's plans for the simulator's further development in the near future.

We would also like to hear your feedback on what you like about our weekly magazine and what could be changed/improved. To this end, the Association's Board has prepared a survey for you, in which you can anonymously express your opinions about the content published in the weekly magazine. Filling out the survey will take no more than 3 minutes of your time and will be a very important source of feedback, so we kindly ask you to provide precise answers to the questions posed, so that we can understand your opinions. Thank you in advance!

Meanwhile, brew yourself some coffee or tea, grab a snack, and let's dive into the reading!



It Happened Yesterday...

Simulator Releases

Over the past year, two major versions of the simulator and two patches were released:
  • version 2022.2.1 "Latarnia"
  • patch for the "Latarnia" version marked 2022.2.2
  • version 2023.1.1 "Ypsilon"
  • patch for the "Ypsilon" version marked 2023.1.2

Key Changes in the Simulator

The introduction of new simulator versions also brought about significant changes, some of which can be considered revolutionary:
  • implementation of a daily cycle and dynamic lighting along with a rich collection of illuminated objects,



  • addition of new indicator models reflecting light from traction vehicle headlights,



  • introduction of a wide range of new trackside device models,
  • addition of hundreds of possible combinations of sleepers, fastenings, ballast, and rails, enabling diversified track layouts



  • addition of dozens of building models, including railway infrastructure,





  • update of the Unity engine version,
  • introduction of procedural signal gates created based on entries,



  • addition of numerous animal models along with their animations,



  • added support for TrackIR.

Of course, there were many more introduced changes, and while we could list many other modifications that took place in the past year, we don't want to bore you by listing everything that can be found in the changelog.

Sceneries

What would the models and all the enhancements added to the simulator be without the scenery, the essence of our virtual routes? In the past year, there have been many significant changes in scenery construction, such as the need to introduce lighting elements, narrowing the distance between tracks in the magical forest to 4 meters, and many others. Therefore, the Constructor Team, as well as individual scenery creators, have been working diligently to complete their projects.
At this point, we want to thank every person who has contributed to the construction of sceneries that currently delight simulator users.

Changes in the Team

Changes in the simulator are not just about new models, objects, scenery, tools, but also about the individuals who have worked over the years for the development of the simulator, as well as those who have decided to submit applications and have been accepted into the Team.
For the intensive work towards TD2's development, we would like to thank those who worked for TD2 in the past and left the Team in the last year. They are: KMSzczecin, deemixx, Atmosferyczny, inomushis, Kamads, Paweł, uetam, Kacper9, Fofal, Meril, and KASisq.
Some of the vacated positions have been filled by new Team members. They are: Wewek, radocha26, Bartek2002, Hammer, Newmikus2k, BartholomeoD3, Till, and Pepsi2026.



...Will Happen Tomorrow

The Simulator Team is diligently working on further improvements, models, applications, tools, and features that will enhance immersion and enjoyment of gameplay even more. Some are currently in the conceptual phase, others in development, and some are at such an advanced stage that we'd like to present a list of projects being intensively worked on, whose results you'll be able to see in the near future.
  • SSO (formerly the "Spawn" project) - a project that, after several months of stagnation, is back in the spotlight. A large portion of its functionality is already complete, and intensive work on the application's frontend will take place in September. Currently, we estimate that the project should be unveiled by the end of the year.
  • Main Track Occupancy Board - a model aimed at increasing the simulation's immersion. The Team is working on preparing such a board in various size variants to fit every signal box. The final model will be fully interactive.



  • EP09 locomotive - intensive work is underway to refine the model. The Team aims to ensure that this highly anticipated product is created perfectly and accurately replicates reality as much as possible within the simulator's conditions.





  • Among the upcoming railway rolling stock models, we can mention freight wagons with designations 421S, 426Z, and 425S.
  • The Constructors Team, in addition to their meticulous work in the SSS, is also currently working on the "Węglówka" project (i.e., LK131), which includes scenes from Kraski, Kłudna, and Kozuby, as well as the "ŁKA" project, where the construction of LK1 scenes like Rokiciny and Baby is in progress.
  • The Editors Team, in collaboration with the Association's Board, is also working on a new TD-related Wiki, which will be built from scratch. The new Wiki will use some of the existing articles, some will be rewritten or simplified. We want the new Wiki to be more user-friendly and, in addition to collecting useful information and documents, present them in a more accessible way. Work on the new version of the site has already begun, and we will keep you informed of their progress.





Summary

Dear Users, thank you for following our weekly magazine over the past year. Each of you who creates scenery in SSS, writes interesting threads on the forum, prepares tools to enhance the work of others, or even creates your own sessions, is a part of this fantastic puzzle that is our simulator, and consequently, the weekly magazine. As the Chief Editor, I want to thank every person whose contributions are invaluable to the functioning of the weekly magazine, every member of the TD2 Team for providing materials, and above all, the members of the Association's Board for their trust and freedom in conducting this initiative.
I also want to thank in advance every person who will fill out the linked survey above because we don't run the weekly magazine for ourselves, but primarily for you.

That's it for today; thank you for your attention, and see you next week!

Foreword

Dear Users,
On behalf of myself and everyone responsible for creating the Weekly Magazine, I would like to once again express my sincere thanks for the warm reception of the last anniversary edition. Thank you for your feedback in the summary thread of the first year of the Weekly Magazine. I'd like to remind you that the survey is still open.

Survey Results
In the anniversary edition, we published a survey, the activity of which continued in the previous issue of the magazine. We received 71 responses, for which we sincerely thank you.
The overwhelming majority of respondents read every issue of the Weekly Magazine. The most important section for you is the "Simulator" section.
Below, we have gathered the most interesting suggestions. We will try to implement some of them in the upcoming issues of the Weekly Magazine, while others will require some conceptual work to implement them properly.
  • More: information about the functioning of the simulator, information about newly released sceneries, graphics/photos,
  • Adding hyperlinks along with a table of contents,
  • Introducing precise release dates for individual simulator elements or versions,
  • Adding occasional sections about future plans,
  • Changing the format (email or PDF).

We thank you for all your votes. We cannot promise to implement all of the above-mentioned changes, but we will make every effort to make the Weekly Magazine an even more user-friendly place for those who want to learn more about current topics.
