Super Sessions for Trainz Railroad Simulator
These movies are screen captures of our Super Sessions. The only editing we did, was to add some subtitles here and there, to provide context that you'd normally (be able to) gather when running the session in TRS, but of course cannot in a mere movie.
They are not intended as stand-alone end results, but to give you an impression of what you might see when running these sessions in TRS.
Obviously, when creating such movies, a lot of quality is lost, as compared to running the actual thing on the best possible hardware. The screen-capture software adds load to the CPU, GPU and more; editing and saving is lossy; TRS is written for Intel, yet we run this on a M1, which requires our machine to rewrite the Intel instructins to Apple Silicon instructions in real-time… Plus, different versions of TRS have different bugzes, or advantages. To get the 'best' (as defined by multiple factors) possible result, different Super Sessions were recorded in different versions of TRS. Some in TRS19 SP3, others in TRS19 SP5, yet others in TRS22 SP2. Each with different settings.
In other words, these movies tell you very little about rendering quality, except that things'll render better when running the actual session, on decent hardware, in the ideal version of TRS, with ideal settings.
Having said all that, of course if we didn't feel that these movies give a decent impression, we wouldn't have published them.

Several screen-captures taken from our upcoming Super Session "Here Come the Trainzes at Swedaryn Island!". These were filmed while the session had been running for about 3 hours. All scenes show how, despite the route being essentially single track, the session both generates so much traffic that you'll constantly encounter other trains, and yet still manages to solve all conflicts between trains fighting over junctions.

Another screen-capture taken from our Trainz Super Session "Here Come the Trainzes at Niddertal". This was filmed at about 10:00, when the session had been running for about 4 hours. We selected a class 82, that we found to be at the sawmill at Niederdorfelden, ready to depart.

This is one single, non-edited, continuous screen-capture, showing that, when you start up one and the same Super Session over and over again, you are likely to get something quite different each time.
After you've watched this movie, consider the following:
So, one single Super Session can keep you entertained, not for hours, not for days, but for weeks or even months… :) Whereas you can run a traditional Trainz session "again", in the case of a Super Session, so much has been randomised that the concept "again" does not even exist. Each time will, per definition, be a different, new experience.
(Btw, did you notice that it doesn't simply either rain, or not rain, but that even how it rains varies, at random?)

A busy scene at Pohraničie, which sees 8 of its 9 tracks used; 4 locomotives shunting virtually simultaneously (given the limit of a single camera position, you cannot see, but can hear that also the Bardotka and ET22 are). Note that none of this is planned. These trains just happen to encounter each other at this place, at this time.
