A spinning wheel like windows is just Mint saying I'm busy so I don't think you are doing anything wrong. But back to basics. Open Trainz any way you can, if necessary using one of the file managers navigate to TRS22.exe and right clicking on it and selecting Open with Wine Windows Program...

A couple of points. There is always the exception but generally when installing a program through Wine a program icon is placed under the Wine sub-menu of the Start Menu and sometime on the desktop when selected during the install options. However you can create your own menu entry either by...

Regarding speed, if you haven't already done so do ensure that your drivers are up to date. The likes of Mint has its own Driver Manager under Administration and its as easy to update a driver as it is to go back to the previous one. Wine can be tweaked a little. Run winecfg in the terminal to...

They are only outdated for the later versions of Trainz but many members still build and run the earlier versions going back in excess of twenty years. This video on YouTube will give you a little of the history. Peter

Sorry I do sincerely apologies. I was of the impression you were in the process of creating a simple universal 'go-to' web page with the instruction on how to install Trainz on any Linux of choice preferable without having to spend too much time in the future frequently updating it. It seems I...

Why are you re-inventing the wheel, or in this instance explaining to others how to get Trainz up and running on Linux when others have already done a fairly good job and the majority of the work for you, which they in turn are already keeping up to date. To save yourself a lot of effort now...

I'm not sure it will make a lot of difference to Trainz if any at all, but if you are multi-tasking, editing video in the background for example go for it. It's not going to cost you anything and can be easily removed should you want it for another job. Peter

Connect the external drive and start your install process in the usual way from your bootable Linux media. When you get to the step where it asked for 'Installation Type' choose 'something else'. On the next window choose the external drive (with extreme care as not to wipe out the wrong drive)...

I have installed Linux together with T:ANE and with TRS19 on USB SSD's a number of times previously for use while away from home quite successfully, and while I haven't tried TRS22 I suspect it would be comparable to TRS19 having such similar OS requirements. As for Windows 10/11 I would have...

Over the past few evenings I've been playing with Trainz 2004/06/09/10 and 2012 on a variety of hardware and software all with mixed results. It is clear that the older versions of Trainz much prefer the old OS and to some degree the older hardware as well. None of these versions particularly...

Its not just Linux some of the older versions of Trainz have their issues with Windows 10 and 11 but there a a few things you might care to try to improve things. First; perhaps cast your eyes over the following https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine#Installation in particular the potential...

Yes, Francis, with his mate Stan often behind the camera, have quite a few videos on Youtube and has been on local TV here in the UK. There are railway nerds and railway enthusiasts but he is a cut above them all, he just gets a thrill from trains and his enjoyment is as much part of his videos...

Anyone who makes more than the occasional USB boot drive or has issues when they do make such drives may find the free Ventoy software the answer to making their life a whole lot easier. Ventoy is installed as a bootable USB drive but it could be the last you make. Other OS software ISO files...

Alt+Enter still works here. Make sure you click on the window you want to expand to full screen first. F11 sometimes is another option. Peter

Is that what Blandford Forum station once looked like. I worked there for 12 years of so and although parts of the route can still clearly be seen and the location of the station well known few people I worked with or had lived there all their life could remember much about the station. Nice...
