N3V - what were you thinking

NSWGR_46Class

Just call my Captain Rude
Hay guys in your latest email post out - you feature a screen shot by tanvaras - featuring the NSW CityRail Endeavour


Think there is going to be a few unhappy people when they find out that the version of endeavour shown IIRC was only available on the now defunct Worrybrook web page .

Not sure you should be using this image to be flogging TANE dudes :o:D:p

Was stoked to see my pic in the news letter,

My sessions for this route (To be released soon to the DLS for TANE) will only have DLS items for the route and sessions. I just really like that Endeavour by Davido one of my favorite trains to use personally.

Cheers

yes it a great image - nice work - but how many people are going to want that Endeavour unit now :D:D:D

I think there is a web archive somewhere (someone posted in Aussie Screenshots I think some time back) that has a copy of the website (with permission I hope) with all the downloads etc available(Freeware). Alas Davido's payware I think is unable to be obtained anymore though, shame David was a great content contributor, but we have many more filling the shoes of other that have moved on with amazing content as well :)
 
Yes, I do, when they are using it to promote a product for sale, other wise it's called false advertising. Would you be happy if you booked a holiday at a resort from brochures showing the resort had a pool and on arrival found out it does not have one?
When we were doing TOTR events we were instructed to never display any content to the public that was not on the DVD or available on the DLS as to do otherwise was false adverting and a big no no under the trade practices act.



You expect N3V to know what assets are available and which aren't?

Quit ya whinging

Its a screenshot posted by a user!

When I see a TV ad showing a car driving down a mountain road with a sniper and a tank (of some sort) as obstacles to be overcome and the journey ends at a fancy mountain retreat with a beautiful woman waiting for the driver of that vehicle, is that false advertising? Is that what I would reasonably expect to happen to me if I bought that car?

What about all the other scenery items shown in that and the other screenshots - are they all available on the DLS? Is it possible that some were created by the posters and have never been released to the DLS? How could you possibly know from the screenshot?

I think you are just trolling for the fun of it.
 
Where is the actual screenshot ?, I would like to see it for myself before i comment any further.
Mick.

Check your email (or even in your junk mail folder). There should be a posting from N3V with the subject "Is it time to upgrade your hardware?".
 
I don't think these newsletters are subject to any sort of formal review or fact checking.

Like the one from about a month back, where they thanked some content creators for uploading repaired versions of their assets, and even featured one from a 'long time Trainz stalwart' as Download of the Week, without even recognizing that the original creators had abandoned these assets a very long time ago, and had nothing at all to do with the uploads!
 
Emails and news with well-done shots in Trainz have been using shots from routes that aren't exactly T:ANE-compatible, or even in T:ANE. There are regularly shots from pm372 used in the newsletters and all, he still uses TS2010.
 
It's a screenshot from the game in a members newsletter, hardly false advertising.
cheers
That is exactly what is is as the content and setting's used in sum of the screenshot's is not available or even completed, Now if they had of done the honest thing and wrote " Sum of the content and setting's used in these pic's is still a WIP" but this is what we would like Tane to look like, Then that would be fine as newcomer's to the game would know what to expect once they look at the game for the first time.
Ya can put as much lipstick on it as you like but at the end of the day it's still a pig :hehe:.

In the words of the immortal Charlie Brown - "Good Grief". Some people really do need to get out and away from their computers more often.

So you want every one who posts a screenshot in the Trainz Gallery (http://www.trainzportal.com/mytrainz/index) - where the "offending" screenshot used in the newsletter came from (just click the tab Search Media and enter the user name tanvaras) - to sign a legal declaration that everything in their screenshot is available "on disc" or on the DLS before it can be posted; or for N3V to employ an army of image assessors to go over every submission with a giant magnifying glass to check that everything is "kosher"?

The screenshot was "taken" using Trainz so it fair enough that it can be shown as something that was created using Trainz. This discussion is a storm in a teacup and a waste of perfectly good electrons.

This particular issue may be trivial, but the fact is that other game producers have been hauled over the coals by the local fair trading regulators for using animations in their TV ads that were not actually from the game. Currently, there are advertisers that are pushing the boundaries of the law by adding a small 'visuals shown may not be from actual game play' in their ads, but they have been warned that this disclaimer might not be enough. Using enhanced images or images that are only available through the purchase of optional extras is a very real point of concern with the regulators, and it would be sensible for any game producer to be very cautious in this regard.

Your the one making it a storm in a teacup budgie i just agree with the OP that it is false advertising in that a newcomer to this game does not have access to content in sum of the image's used to portray Tane, I'd like to waste more time explaining it to you but i don't have any crayon's LOL.
