    Our systems usually tell us when OS components need updating but many programs do not unless we check our installs and go through the website or are prompted when we start them.

    Ordering Plus for someone else.

    I would like to order a copy of Plus for someone else and then pay for the subscription myself rather than pass the cost on to my friend. I was thinking this is how it may work: Create his account on My Trainz. Order Plus. Put my billing information into the payment screen. What do you guys...

    The bulk update/replace tool is still broken!

    The bulk update/replace tool is still broken. When using selected area and selecting track for instance, everything gets replaced in the vicinity of the selection instead of just the track that's been selected. Prior to the last version, Build 122411, it worked fine but since that version...

    The Built-in Driver Setup rule is now faulty.

    I used Plus all day yesterday doing the usual and everything was fine as I poked around in Surveyor and did a bit of driving. I went to edit the session associated with my route and there was a red exclamation point "!" on the session image. Upon checking I found that the Driver Setup rule was...

    Austrian cab ride.

    Cab Ride Innsbruck - Feldkirch (Arlberg Railway, Austria) This is so beautiful. There are high viaducts, deep valleys, lots of really long tunnels and steep grades. The mountains and rivers with the villages below make this ride almost toy-like as if we're riding on a Z-scale model railroad.

    A cab ride in Switzerland.

    This is a late winter ride on the edge of the Swiss Alps. The terrain varies between flat and open to rolling and a bit mountainous but ever so beautiful. Here's the same ride in the opposite direction but during warmer and greener months. Both are by the same driver.

    The future of Trainz using an AR headset.

    https://www.tiltfive.com/ The video says it all. The cost isn't bad for the hardware considering what it is. Imagine if N3V could implement something like this for Trainz. Imagine building a route or driving a model railroad using something like this. What made me think of this was the games...
