Life Time only 50 years

[illinoiscentral]

Here is a good point,
"Will the Trainz franchise even be around 50 more years? How about Auran itself. Probably not."
That sums it u0p right there, quoted from my dad.

The price of the 25 year ticket is almost equal to four years of regular FCT's, decent deal if you ask me. I wish my insurance company offered me something simular.

Looks like Dad read post number 29 first before telling you the bad news.

Have fun,

The cost is the same as 4yrs of FCT's here in Australia so as long as they last that long everything after that is free.
Or if they go under anytime in the next 50yrs my money will be cheerfully refunded :hehe:

Aren't adults clever, they look before they leap.

You know, this entire thread would never have happened if Auran gave a little more thought to the wording of their offer. Had they simply said:

Lifetime Membership

The would be nothing to discuss.

Hi All
We are currently investigating the issues with the lifetime FCT's, such as them expiring at the wrong time.

I have confirmed that the length of the tickets is 50 years.

Thank you for your patience

I bought a 'lifetime' FCT and when I activated it, it showed an expiry date of 2034 which is 25 years. I am therefore hoping that you can get this problem sorted and I get the full 50 :udrool: as I will only be 112 years young when it expires .

As described in previous posts, Auran is unable to credit the full 50 years due to the Year 2038 Problem. Looking on the bright side however, there are 25 years to find a workaround.

Cheerio,
Nicholas.

What is this 'Year 2038 Problem' Is it another Doomsday prediction?

2038, is 26 years after the end of the world-Dec 17, 1012 (Myan Calendar prediction).

So we have until 17 Dec 2012 :'(
Any idea what time it will be so I can book a table for my last meal?

It may sound similar but it's not. Y2K was largely about how programs had been written, this is a limitation in the operating system design itself. It will be addressed well before we get there but for now there is a limit as to how far into the future our programs can "see".

Atari and Amiga fell victim to the corporate giants Microsoft and Intel rather than IBM. Apple, I would imagine, feel they have fallen to no one.

I think the Amiga really fell as a result of its own design problems. It produced NTSC video output, which was awful for computing purposes. But it would have been a fantastic machine for Trainz. I remember paying $250 for 2 megs of RAM for it!

I had an Amiga 1000. No hard drive! I was teaching myself C and every time I messed up a pointer reference I had to reboot and reload the compiler from floppys. Good times.

But yeah, it was a fine gaming machine for its day. Graphics were so much prettier than what was available on a PC back then.
