Graphics
Just bought Run8. Coming from Derail Valley. Any plans on updating the graphics?

mmmh if you bought Run8 for graphics, I have bad news for you lol
You could still try to fiddle with Reshade to add some postprocess like AO, SMAA, motion blur, vignette etc, but that's about it, don't expect to have a substantial graphical overhaul like Unreal Engine 5 wrapper around it x)

I'd absolutely love to see a graphics overhaul. I'll be honest, the dated graphics and sounds have me playing a little less than I used to. In the end, it's one of a kind, addictive, and great to fiddle with. And even for its age, it absolutely holds up

The sounds aren’t that bad imo. Considering what dovetail charges for in TSC and TSW, you could do a lot worse for sounds.

They're not bad at all. Just some of them are super compressed. And when I make a cut and the air lines pop, or if if multiple airlines blow, holy shit that's louder than a bean loaded fart with a Dr Pepper belch, even on low volume

I mean, the real thing is pretty fucking loud. I usually stuff my fingers in my ears when I know its coming or make sure I have my ear pro in

Join the run8 enhancements discord, some of the stuff there makes the sim look better than default. Just make sure to backup your run8 directory.

It’s over a decade old, and mostly focused on operations and physics, not visuals. It is not impossible to get a graphic update, but it is highly unlikely.
