I’ve applied SP6 to my version of 22PE and have no apparent problems. However, just because I’m not having issues I don’t assume others are in the same happy position.

Big advantage it's free, possible disadvantage, it's no longer in development.

I can’t help feeling that when developers didn’t have a no cost, easy, global means of distribution, they were considerably more careful with their release candidates.

I’m always disappointed by the expectation that paying customers need to be unpaid bug testers.

I’m so old school I think it’s a complete liberty that N3V expects you to pay for the grind of beta testing. Been there, done that (beta testing that is), didn’t get a tee shirt.

As they are effectively doing a job for N3V, using software that probably isn't working entirely correctly, I'm not sure that's unreasonable.

Has anyone claimed that? I was replying to this post https://forums.auran.com/threads/trainz-plus-gold.181670/post-2060205

You’re arguing, I think the rest of us are agreeing that if you have to purchase something to get something else then it is not free. I agree the term ‘free’ is often misused when ‘no additional cost’ is what is meant.

My issue in this particular case is the exclusive DLC is not free and should not be described as such, especially as it requires constant payment for access.

To those who don’t pay taxes for what ever reason, those are free. However, we’re talking about assets that can only be accessed for a sum of money, unlike the assets that the community provided for free.

DLC that you have to be paying for constantly if you want to use it is really stretching the definition of ‘free’.

Tafweb was indeed one of the greats.

Is there any hint from N3V of a further non-subscription version of Trainz?

That's very sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.
