Trainz Tragic since 2002
Returning after a years absence ... things have changed a bit around here !
Anyway, after a year of Trainz inactivity due to one of those forks in the road that life sometimes presents, I finally applied SP1 to my TRS2006 and fired up the abandoned WIP 2006 update to my old WeddinNSW layout.
Dismay ! Neither 2004 or 2006 ever ran like this. Whats happened to my frame rates? While never startling, they were at least acceptable. I'm now down in 'slide show' territory... back to the days of Original Trainz on antiquated graphics cards.
I'm using all the 'tweaks' I used to, so what's changed?
Background tasks !
I used to run my Trainz machine as 'standalone' playground. Since I last ran Trainz I have connected my laptop to the outside world. Firewalls, antivirus, wireless connections, etc.. they certainly seem to have taken their toll.
Looks like I'm an now in the market for a new standalone playground. Just got to find the money (and some way to convince Mrs Footplate of the urgency !)

PS: Wazzer, Colin, Peter, Dave - you guys still out there? - are Trainzer meets and TOTR still happening? Where did Trainz community go?
