Hi. I already complained about that in my 7 parts review but here I want to know why Auran can make it more real. By listening carefully at this video (crank up the volume), you will soon remark that most modern mainline tracks have no more joints on the track so the clikety cliketac is no more...

Hi. On my route I'm using lot and lot of spline trees and while driving I remarked that most of them are transparent letting the background objects visible behind the trees. I hope this have been reported by the testers ??? I know in TRS 2006 we have this little problem, but its worst in beta...

Hi. Viewing distance. This make Trainz so great to use now. I did a quick test about the viewing distance by laying a row of spline trees on the edge of a baseboard at 1.5 km setting like in TRS 2006. I get back until the trees dispeared and checked the map. I was about 1.5 baseboard away...

Hi. Loading time. Another part of TS 2009 where I'm really disapointed is the loading time it take to load my route. Back in TRS 2004, my route was taking up to 10 minutes to load. That was a real pain. Then, in TRS 2006 and computer's upgrade, I lower that to less than 3 minutes. Now in TS...

Hi. About sounds. Hmmm, here I'm not really pleased. Even if some engine have a better sound than TRS 2006, the sound improvement is not as great. Track's sounds are a bit better but far to be synchronized with the train's speed especially when passing over a switch. Steam engine sound are...

Hi. Rolling stock textures. In previous Trainz versions, you should have remarked that the textures on the rolling stock were blurry in the distance and get clearer only two cars of your viewing position. If you are standing by a track watching a train passing by, the textures would clear up...

Hi. Here I'm talking about signals and speed limit. On my huge 200 km single track route, I'm using by-pass siding every 10 km or so to let incoming traffic pass in opposite direction. This mean I can wait at a red signal for about 10 minutes while the incoming train is entering the by-pass...

Hi. Next on my testing was CMP v2 importing assets. Let me explain my way to classify my content in TRS 2006. In TRS 2004, when looking for a particular object in Surveyor, you just had to go in the sub-categories of object to get all object of the same type as bridge, wall, trees, etc. This...

Hi all. After installing beta 1 and tested it to my own purposes, I decided to share with you my discoveries on this new version and especially on my huge route containing 300 cars, more than a dozen of engines, monorail, subways, passengers etc. Actually I'm running TRS 2006. Please keep in...

Hi. As I really hate Vista, I greatly hope TS2009 will be able to run either on XP or Vista. Does Tony mentionned on which OS it will run yet? Andre.

Hi Tony. I really liked all the new TS2009 features and I'm extremely eager to try it. For now, I didn't find any issue about the sounds in this new version? To me previous versions always suffered of poor and unrealistic track's sounds. Do you plan to do something better this time??? Why not...
