My First Trainz Set (Not Good)

Butner Lines Railroad Co.
I bought My First Trainz Set today from the Auran store and I am not impressed. This game advertised several American locomotives and engines with tenders and it didn't have them. It advertised the ability to download extra content and the ability to straighten the tracks, but it didin't have them. This is my worst game I have ever bought. I stopped playing it after five minutes and uninstalled it. Don't buy it.
 
So you can't download any of the almost a million, free assets on the DLS ? Hmmmmm:o My local file is 58 Gb of free assets, and growing. I must have like: 2000 diesel, steam and electric locos, plus 10,000 US & Canadian railcars.

Oh, now I know what game you are talking about, I remember seeing something about it: "My First Trainset".

Ahh well, it will make a good gift for a relatives or friends, young kids.

This is funny, since the game is for 5 year olds and they did not advertise anything about American locomotives other then showing a video of the Beta version.

You wont find the trains they use to advertise 2010 in Trainz 2010.
Its misleading advertising. I have never found them either and when I asked on the forum where to find them my question lasted a day before it was removed
 
Gp792, you said that you accidentally ordered it. Didn't you check the details, and see if you made any mistakes BEFORE submitting?

Having said that, Nimec is right it's misleading advertising.

Gp792 said that it advertised that it comes with certain items, and that those items weren't included. If that's the case, then it's a breach of the TPA.

The same thing happened with TS2006. TS2006 was advertised on the box with the VistaMaps included (in the actually game), yet was not included. You may be able to download the V/Maps, but that is not the point. The point is Auran advertised it on the TS2006 box. Also a breach of the TPA.

Or he saw an advertisement for one product, and then went and purchased an unrelated product. This seems more likely to me given the comments so far. However, if this is not the case and there is some actual misleading advertising, please feel free to let me know and I'll pass the complaint on to our marketing department.

kind regards,

Also pass onto your marketing department that I have taken photos of Auran while cruising the River Cat then shown to some EDI rail workers. :P

Video One:
UP BigBoy Kuid: 523:10070
Ocemy's CHN DH11 (could be #0018 or #0099, hard to tell from a video - I suspect 0099 though, as it's prettier slightly)
V41 522 Kuid: 109628:83
Ocemy's CHN ND5-1 (GE C36-7) Kuid: 276266:1062
MML HST New Kuid: 61109:10118
AN 830 Class (*2) Kuid:-1:100737
CN SD40-2 Kuid:-12:3534
Unknown HST-style train (shown from above, no way to ID)

I can do the other 3 videos if you *really* want, but it's a lot of effort (this took about 20 minutes). The fact is, all of those are built-in to TS2010, so clearly they ARE in ts2010.

Edit: Other 3 videos don't feature nearly as many locomotives, so...

Video Two:

CR GM Class (*2 back to back) Kuid: 2512:2374:7

Video Three:

BN SD40-2 Kuid:-12:3537
ATSF SD40-2 Kuid:-1:100871
CHN ND5-1 (GE C36-7) Kuid: 276266:1062

Video Four:

UP SD40-2 Kuid:523:156564

Can this thread be removed? It rubbishes the new kids' version of Trainz, and will show up in internet searches, despite the fact that it was down to the thread author's own stupidity that he downloaded the wrong version of the game! Yet his criticism remains for all to see and may deter casual browsers from buying My First Trainz.

I'd like to see gp792 come back to this forum and apologise for this thread which could have damaged Auran's business.

Why? While it may be his fault for not checking and double checking his order, he & Nimec have made some valid points about misleading advertising.

Potential customers can still make up their own minds wether or not to buy the product.

Why should Gp792 have to apologise for what a company has done? And besides the company that sells this product to customers, and the retail market - (I don't think their games are manufactured in Australia) needs a bit (make that quite a lot) of criticism, as it may prompt them to improve their products.
