Western Railway 3D Screensaver

Riding a train has always been a unique experience, especially the old ones before the TGVs or Maglevs. You could spend hours upon hours admiring the countryside, reading a book and picking up conversations with complete strangers.  Western Railway 3D Screensaver brings that old feeling back.

From a visual perspective, this animated wallpaper and screensaver is a 3D visual spectacle. The models are good and the textures are realistic, boasting nice reflexions and shadows. But the thing that will captivate you, even more, is the sheer massiveness of the open world through which the train travels. Clever camera angles and the occasional image loop give off the impression that this virtual world goes on forever. The music and SFX are not to be ignored either, as the wild west themed music along with the sounds of the old steam engine make you believe you are in the XVIII^th century Western USA.

During testing, there were no performance drops while running the application is screensaver mode. However, while it was being tested as an animated wallpaper, a drop in the animation's framerate could be observed. This is most likely due to the system's attempt at running both this massive 3D world and its own UI at the same time. If you are running an older setup and experiencing the same performance drops, then you can counter them by lowering or disabling several features from the app's "Settings" menu. Some of the adjustable settings are the texture quality, resolution and aspect ratio, as well as sounds and music volume.

Western Railway 3D Screensaver impresses with realistic visuals and an expanded world. Unfortunately, you need a beefy computer to be able to enjoy all aspects of this app in a smooth manner
