    Humble request for a small asset

    How's this? tbumpenv material. I did not make it as a trackside object, only because I added in rollable/tiltable functionality. If you'd rather it be a trackside, let me know how far from the track it should be. DRM-free license applies as with all my content.

    You should know "speculation" is the worst sin a person can commit on these forums. Even when based on history, experience, known facts, etc.

    That "choice" is exactly what proves the point! It's a true apples-to-apples comparison of the cost of a subscription versus a one time purchase. (Well, ok, even that "purchase" is still really a rental, but the minutiae of software licensing is another topic for another time, and already had...

    The point being: You will pay far more in a few months of a subscription than if you bought outright. That's why software makers are pushing the subscription/SaaS model and slowly eliminating one-time purchase (perpetual-license) options. Not really sure why this is such a difficult concept for...

    This is an utter falsehood. At $9.99 a month for the lowest plan, you'll pay more in 7 months than if you bought the product outright, assuming a roughly $70 for the buy-once product. That makes even Microsoft's and Adobe's subscriptions seem like a bargain. We're not even talking about the...

    Because of the DRM, you won't be able to do that. All your content goes *poof* and does the game. Your old versions of Trainz may or may not work, depending on the version, and whether or not you got the DRM-free version, and whether you're talking about DLC versus other content. But, as written...

    No, they are not more reasonable prices. With the old "buy-once" model, you bought software once, owned the copy, and could use it indefinitely. With the subscription/SaaS model, you pay far more over just a year or two than if you bought it outright. Using Microsoft Office 2016 as an example...

    Trainz 15th Anniversary Patches

    It looks like some of the versions being offered either do not have a build version on the Store information page, or are not fully-updated. The build for TRS2004 is 2283, which can be patched up from here: https://www.auran.com/TRS2004/sp4_download_file.php?ServerID=0&Build=2283

    Buildings Wanted

    Just wondering if anybody knows of buildings with an architecture like the main buildings in these pics. Color, canopies, smaller buildings, even shapes etc. aren't as important; it's mostly the style that I'm looking for.

    MBTA Coaches

    I figure this might be of interest to John Citron and other MBTA fans. Heading into Philly mid-day, I caught two sparkling bi-level coaches that had been cut off from a freight on the main parallel to the passenger tracks, about 25 miles northeast of the city. Seems a little odd that half of a...

    Shopping Mall

    Try Shopping Center 01 It's pre-built, but you can mix it with some stores (see the left side) made by DaveSnow. Also look under Euphod and my own name for reskins of DaveSnows great stores. You can plop these down side-by-side and make your own strip mall. I think there are at least 20 or so...

    Trainz and DRM

    Hi Tony, For others who are reading, I am taking Mr. Hilliam up on an offer to another poster and myself to outline the issues with Trainz' DRM system. (edit: I would be remiss if I didn't explain what DRM stands for: Digital Rights Management.) While I cannot speak for KingConrail76, my...

    I wanted to start a thread on something a bit different. on another forum, I came across this photo: Image courtesy of the Library of Congress. Originally, it was part of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore RR, which is now the segment of the present-day Northeast Corridor between...
