The strike is limited to a few sorting offices 'up north' as far as I'm aware. My hope is that everyone will get their copy for Christmas.

Hi,
Mine arrived by Courier 17/12/2008 11:43:24 AM.
Awaiting SP1 & will do some preparatory stuff before installing it.
I'm considering creating a separate partition for it.
Any comments on expected performance issues if I do this??.

nbrettoner, there shouldn't be. I've always installed Trainz in a seperate partition to keep everything in one place. I've never experienced any problems. The last install of TRS2009 BETA was on the same partition as TRS2006 but in a different folder. Both worked fine.
My copy of TRS2009 arrived today and I'll be replacing the now defunct BETA with it in F drive which is one of four (4) partitions on my equally divided 360 meg HD.
Keep in mind that I partitioned and formatted the disk when new. Creating a new partition on a operating HD requires a third party program like Partition Magic. I dion't know if performance will be affected by doing it that way.

Stoknest, There are two manuals. One is a small glossy printed update about 6 x 4" x 32 PP and the other is a PDF (I think) of the TRS2006 manual. Obviously Auran is waiting for EE before releasing a new manual. As far as I know there is no printed manual that you can purchase. if there is, Auran has kept it a secret. I've reproduced all but a few pages of the TRS2006 manual without the ink eating background, but it won't be available until the new year. It was a big job getting rid of the background images which in my opinion are a waste of time and just make the ink companies rich.
Lesley (Tom) Thanks for removing the sig. Why not use one section of it and convert it to a JPG at 70% compression. Then it will be well under 30kb. It's too nice a sig to waste.

That's what I was looking for. If it is only 32 pages and I get the impression from this thread
http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=34620&highlight=manual
that the download version has it on file, then if I need it I can print it.
Went for a walk to the shops yesterday and then to my Post Office box. There was nothing there, not even the little card saying there is a package for me. I closed the PO box and walked home thinking "oh well, its only another day to wait". There where very dark clouds around and a storm was heading our way, the weather reports where right for once. Once home my neighbor asked if I got my little card from the Posty that was there earlier, I was not sure what he meant, so looked in my home mail box. There was my little card for a package at the Post Office and to go there after 3pm. I was very happy at last
I looked up and the dark clouds where getting, only another hour to 3pm. While waiting for 3pm my neighbor came in and we chatted for a while listen to the thunder and lightning and watched the pouring rain. As usual in storms I had my computer off, the phone line was disconnected and the power plug pulled out for extra safety. The rain never stopped, it was constant heavy rain with thunder and lightning for special effects. I was hopping for it to stop soon so I could go to the Post Office.
Finally the rain stopped, the clouds where clearing and some blue sky was a round, it was time to go to the Post Office for my package. I could see more dark clouds coming and the blue sky was slowly closing up. Then spots of rain where starting to fall, I was starting to think of where I could hide if another storm hit, ah I thought "the pub is across the road".
Finally I was at the Post Office and had my package. Once out side the clouds where getting darker and the spots of rain where getting heaver. I walked home though the odd rain drops watching the sky with thunder and lightning coming closer. Finally I was home and wandering what to do. With thunder and lightning around I decided it was best to follow my own rule, not to connect my computer up.
From there on the rain, thunder, and lightning never really stopped. It would stop but when I looked outside I could see more coming. My neighbor and I finished some more beers and wondering when the storms would stop. The storm would hit, the sky would have blue patches again, but looking south I could see more dark clouds. This patten never really stopped until 7pm and even then I could see more dark clouds. I decided to have tea and watch TV for the night even though the TV would loose it signal at times and my lights would flicker all due to storms around. Even if the storms had actually stopped here and blue sky with some clouds where over me.
Now its a new day and the sky is blue and it is safe to play with my new game.
So why the ***** am I writing this instead of installing TS2009? :hehe:
Stuffed if I know :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Hi Craig,
How long did it take to install?.

Hi Col,
I have seen in a thread that 2009 may not hit the stores for some time. Tony has mentioned about other methods to purchase 2009, but I am not sure which thread it was. Maybe if you contact the HelpDesk they can help out.
If you still are having problems with getting a copy, PM/Email me and I will see what I can do to help out. I helped another person with this problem and it worked out fine.

OK, I'm being lazy, and didn't read this entire thread, but...
Any idea when Trainz09 will be shipping for US customers? I signed up for the beta, got a taste (then had other things to work on), Order history shows "Pending" for my copy (DVD version, got burned with another dl'ed product)
Thanks all.
Jason

Noel.B If you follow my suggestions in this thread:
http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=34750
it takes about an hour, depending on how much stuff is on your HD. Of course you coud defrag now and it will then probably take 15 minutes or less. The installation is very smooth
Jason, as you will be too lazy to read this, I won't bother with an answer.

Hi Johnk,
Thanks for the link, am going to have a look after this reply.
I usually have a defrag program running in the background, so it shouldn't take too long to defrag everything.
My setup is 'different'.
The "C:" drive had a hiccup some time ago,
so I installed the OS (XP Home SP2/3) onto my "F:" drive,
where I install most progs.
I also have a "G:" drive in a cradle & 2 DVD burners ("D:" & "E:").
So for TS2009 I created anew partition (60Gb; calling it "H:")
& labelled it TS2009. That's where I'll keep 'all-things TS2009'.
So far all is well, & I've installed the SP1 ok.
Next big test will be downloading & installing the new textures (350Mb?) from the DLS.
As I am not at all familiar with TRS2006 (apart from I know where the tin box & service patch CD is; in the bottom drawer!),
CMP at present is somewhat daunting.
Yes I have TRS2006 but never installed it.
The thought of crashing my system with TRS2006, & necessitating reinstallation on perhaps a 'regular' basis has never excited me.
Maybe the World folder with it's 20Gb size has something to do with that?.
It certainly will, for TS2009!!!.
But so far it loads ok & seems to run ok.
So am looking forward to the 'other side' of a stiff learning curve!.
:'sleep:
BTW how do you manage to speak so eloquently, with "tongue-in-cheek"??.
I usually get thumped. :hehe:
