Trainz Plus - enjoy Trainz from just 20 cents a da
Trainz Plus Beta 115926 to Trainz Plus Release Candidate 115985 is now available on the Trainz Plus Beta patch stream.
(Additional patch options will be available later in the day).
Update: Trainz Plus Beta 115925 to Trainz Plus Release Candidate 115993 (Mac is also now available)
IMPORTANT: As a "Release Candidate" that means this build will be released as the next official Trainz Plus update if we do not get any reports of showstopper issues.
This means that anyone who usually avoids early beta testing should now consider jumping on board the testing train.
Note that this build has assertions disabled.
BETA TEST RECOMMENDATIONS:
Here are our recommended steps for participating in a beta test:
MORE CONTENT TESTING:
Once you've explored the new build, the next step is to do you part in checking out the myriad of different content configurations in Trainz.
HOTKEYS:
Note that hotkeys for S20 tools are now working. The default setup uses a keyboard layout to match the Tool Palette layout.
i.e.
W E R to get the top row of tools
S D F to get the second row of tools
+/- to change radius (when Brush Tool selected)
You can update the hotkeys in System Menu > Control settings

BETA TEST RECOMMENDATIONS:
Here are our recommended steps for participating in a beta test:
- Create a copy of your current install folder (e.g. if you installed the TRS22 beta it would be C:\Program Files\N3V Games\Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022)
- Run the TRS22.exe in the copied folder then click Start Trainz (you will be prompted to enter username and password)
- Close the game window
- Click Trainz Settings > Install > Change update stream
- Follow the prompts then click Change Stream and select Trainz Plus Beta from the dropdown list
- Click Done and the new installation will be updated
- You now have your original install pointing to your original local data folder and your new install pointing to a brand new local data folder.
- Check the build out before changing anything else (this will help identify any obvious issues and avoids touching your existing install or content)
MORE CONTENT TESTING:
Once you've explored the new build, the next step is to do you part in checking out the myriad of different content configurations in Trainz.
- We suggest creating a copy of your existing local data folder, then pointing your new install to that folder. (This obviously requires a decent size hard drive if you have a lot of content installed).
- If you instead choose to point your new install to your old local data folder, it is important to note that you shouldn't then try and run the older version of Trainz (as it will try and access the same database)
HOTKEYS:
Note that hotkeys for S20 tools are now working. The default setup uses a keyboard layout to match the Tool Palette layout.
i.e.
W E R to get the top row of tools
S D F to get the second row of tools
+/- to change radius (when Brush Tool selected)
You can update the hotkeys in System Menu > Control settings
CHANGELIST:
- Merge route [dialog minimap] now shows both routes
- Certain signals that would not update on session start now update correctly
- Fixed a hang on loading certain sessions
- Various tweaks to loading screen images
- Optimisation for S20 asset filter refresh
- A single click now clears the marquee and deselects all items (to match behaviour in other tools)
- Fix the positioning of the spline anchor after spline add
- Improvements to marquee select/clear selection
- Tweaks to values for auto creation of Clutter effect layers
- Fix the GetRuleStateFlags() assertion
- Various MPS fixes
