You guys have alot of time on your hands for maintenance.
i have ts2010 ts2012 railworks 2 and subsequently railworks 3 train simulator 2012. Before all of this I learned on Rail Simulator and Train Simulator. After having owned ts 2010 for six months, I beg to differ with our previous speakers opinions that Trainz whatever version it is is the same as other software programs where it is a do it yourself job. Names such as microsoft, adobe were used......well that was an accurate statement of software that is so high maintenance that you are literally walking over the dollar bills in life and picking up the dimes in some type of fascination addiction of continuing to fix something over and over and over again. Trainz even compared to some of ea sports/ combat games is far the worse when it comes to .....don't call it maintenance, it is god damn repair.....just like something Bill Gates would build. The die hards can roll around in their obstinate blindness and hail Trainz as an act of community. Great for the nucleus that has formed and hung in there to keep this game literally alive. But really I would bet hard cash on the fact that there is a good sized attrition rate due to people getting this train program and finding out it has more problems that old granddads 1972 pinto. I will say it again and in final utterance, what Steam has done for customer convienience in maintenance and "repair" of their flagship train simulator railworks now train simulator is an example of excellence. I can actually drive a train enjoy it, learn all the aspects of good correct railroading and not be spending half of my time figuring out which five out of the seven patches are the correct ones. It is very obvious that Auran now has real competition. Steam after all is the one who has had ea rework their whole strategy. Well have fun patching boys and girls.
