Just call my Captain Rude
No do not think its by Mr Gibbons - also wondering if it would be a narrow or standard gauge route
Hi everybody.
I have just looked at the email received for pre-order of T:ANE and I have to believe there must be further typo errors in the full prices they are quoting for this computer game (for that is what it is) on release. I assume that they are stating the prices in Australian dollars which equates to: -
Collectors edition,…… AU$155 equals £84.50 British sterling
Deluxe edition, ………..AU$135 equals £73.67 British sterling
Standard Edition,……. AU$77 equals £42 British sterling
If the foregoing is not typo error I have to say thay will not be selling many copies of “trainz new era” at those prices. If the above prices are genuine N3V management should bear in mind their biggest competitor in train simulation produced their last two upgrades to their customers free, providing they had purchased their 2012 edition. Along with the foregoing the rumours are that the next upgrade will also be a free release and due later this year.
At the above prices it could well turn out to be “trainz end of era edition” commercially speaking …….LOL

Hi Vern and everybody.
You are correct their for the pre-order price if purchased now. The prices i quoted in my earlier posting where the full prices if T;ANE is purchased on release.
Although the email and website page states savings of Australian dollars 155 which makes it unclear whether you are saving $155 now on pre-order which would make the total price for the collectors edition on release over $200 (which would make it an even bigger laugh)

Sorry Bill, I don't see how you are getting those prices.
The order page says:
Trainz: a new era $39.90 ($10 off) which would suggest a retail price of $49.90
Trainz: a new era deluxe edition $69.90 ($20 off) which would suggest a retail price of $89.90
Trainz: a new era collectors edition $109.90 ($40 off) which would suggest a retail price of $149.90

I somehow doubt the Standard Edition would go on sale for AUS$77 after release, as stated very few people would pay that for a train sim particularly with shipping it would be over AUS$90 or around GBP£50 (though I did pay that for MSTS on release in 2001!). More likely it's another typo between two different sections of the website (or with my cynical hat on. a ploy to push pre-orders 
.
.At both pre-order AND imputed full retail prices on release, T:ANE is guaranteed be be exceptional value for money.
When I look back at the countless hours of pleasure I've had from each of my previous versions, the return on investment equation represents an outstanding bargain!

Ordered in USA and have correct pricing on the web site and on my order. No doubt it was an error but quickly corrected. My comment is that the cost of tin in Australia has gone through the roof. Twenty years from now check eBay to see if a collector can recover the added cost for the box. Report to me at graveside.
Or even ' you're ' rather than ' your '.
Hi again everybody.
boieyd, allowing for the fact that i am over 70 years old now, it is just possible i will not be around in 20 years time to check the price of the tin box edition of Trainz, so perhaps it would not be such a good investment for me or many others on this forum. LOL

Re the pricing:
The pre-orders contain free extras not available with the retail version, that's where the savings come in, It's not what you would save on T:ANE it is what you are saving on the cost of T:ANE plus two Extra items if you purchased now rather than purchasing after release at list price for each item.

I had a read through the shop page a few minutes after it went live (I was on my phone mind, had to go out in the afternoon), and didn't notice the mistake on Wallangarra till I read this thread... I did note the issue with "can't" instead of "cant", but didn't get back intime to report it. Rest assured, it has been forwarded on.
My point being, even getting someone to 'proof read' it isn't fool-proof. If this is the worst of our mistakes though, then we'll have done something well I think

Don't you know that the rule when it comes to typos.
They always appear after the copy has been printed no matter how much things are proofed.
Cant and can't might have been a spell checker thing. I hate it when computer spell checkers put 'corrections' in for me.

Most gamers buy a game and play it for several months, then put it asside, when a new game comes along.
Surely T:ANE will not last 20 more years, and still keep you occupied ... Another railroad simulator game (made by another company), will be along soon, to take over in it's place.
I will be watching for a year and a half, after the release of T:ANE, listening to others posts, and complaints, and awaiting the many SP's to be released, so as to iron out all the bugz.
I see myself finally breaking down and buying T:ANE in 2016/17

The current Trainz is sufficient to keep me interested for more years. If only some things were fixed. One major advantage is that it places a very light load on my system CPU cores - about 40%. Video GPU 30%. This is with the Clinchfield route and all sliders full right. There are some stutters when the buffers go dry. One of the things to fix. I usually run with 4 to 12 car consists - low graphics load. However, I have substituted a lot of large (mb) size textures and it still runs very well. I have Railworks on the system but the textures are so blurred it looks like TS2004. With high quality artist created textures, vegetation and structures it is by far the leading simulation. Of course RW is now a pure game.
In the dark ages you had your typos and the keypunch operators added to misreads (hanging chad) by the reader. For me there is absolutely NO relationship between typos and the actual product's quality. I have pre-purchased the new one only because I am morbidly curious. As soon as I see scores for the kiddies being 1 minute late at a station I may return to old Trainz or go fishing.....
Amazed to see the Chrome browser suggest typo corrections based upon sentence context.

Really, hadn't heard that. Please enlighten.

Probably referring to the announcement that Train Simulator by Dovetail Games will be using Unreal Engine 4 in 2016. Which, as a former RailWorks supporter, I honestly doubt will do much other than improve the graphics. They won't give their user base wht they really want.

And being the Unreal Engine, we can also get out and shoot enemy trains too.

Knowing that Paul Jackson took RailWorks to a pure game direction, this...would not surprise me.

I don't believe that to be the case. While PJ may have concentrated his efforts on making RailWorks more accessible, I don't believe he has removed any of the functions.
