Hello
I am a begginer to trainz 2004
Can you give me any new starter guides ?
The game looks great - but I am wondering are there any routes within Trainz 2004 that you can chose from - in Europe, America, Australia etc
Which menu option has the routes where you can chose from ?
Welcome to Trainz, Spammu!
There are plenty of routes to choose from. Trainz 2004 contains a few samples of what's available, and there are plent more up on the DLS. There is a user's guide available for 2004 located right on your hard disk. There's a folder within the Auran\Trainz folder that contains User Guides . I can't recall exactly what the folder name is because I no longer use Trainz2004 - I've upgraded to TRS2006.
Up on the DLS there is plenty of content, particularly for Europe and the United Kingdom. There are also routes up there for US, Canada, and Australia as well.
To quickly drive a route:
- Open up Surveyor;
- Find a place where you want to start;
- Click on the wheel icon on the menu bar
- Scroll through the list and find the locomotive you wish to drive
- Select the locomotive
- Place the loco by clicking on the track. If it's face the wrong direction, click on the red and green arrows to switch it around.
- Add rollingstock the same way.
- Once your train is on the tracks, press F2.
- Save when asked and your off. A screen will load asking for either Cab-mode or DCC. Try DCC first then later try Cab-mode because it's more advanced.
I recommend trying the built-in routes and tutorials to get an idea on how to run trains, pick-up and set out goods, etc.
Feel free to ask questions and above all have a blast.
John
