I very much agree,I personally think it would benefit them to make a combined version. Both versions placed in the same package,perhaps about 10 dollars less,then if you bought them seperatly,just so it will make it easier for newcomers to get everything easily,rather then get one and find out that you don't have everything you though you paid for....

Combined Version
Don't worry folks. If Trainz, TRS2004, TRSA2006 and TC1 - 3 are anything to go by, clever Content Creators and Script Writers will soon have "Rules" for setting up the Train Physics and characteristics anyway.
Looking at the Forum, I would guesstimate that a good 90% of us are, what would have been a few years ago, ex-Railway Modellers. In other words, we like fiddling and farting around with scenery items, settings and tweaks and our quest for the ultimate layout, or that holy grail of an obscure item of scenery or rolling stock is never finished!
For most of us, I guess, the World Builder Edition will suffice. I think the Engineer's Edition is attempting to cross the boundary into MSTS / Rail Simulator territory and grab a few of the die-hards in those camps.
World Builder Promises to be a lot of Fun for all of us! Is that not what we're after?
................and, for those who blethered on and on about Frame Rates, Backward Compatibility and all the rest of it, here's what the Trainz Newsletter has to say on the subject.......

Me third - the Beta Download is chunking away now! :wave:
(By the way, Paulz, I wondered what happened to your T9 and the Adams radial you built for me in TC3, but I found 'em this morning - tweaked a couple of things TC3 didn't like in the config.txt (it didn't like Drivers and Coalmen being in a separate kuid) and bingo, the T9 is back at Padstow and the Adams Radial at Sidmouth Junction ready for her Combpyne and Lyme Regis run!)

I will not wait for more information...
I will preorder this week, thanks Tony.
...no more trouble with German "Zoll"... one of the things to buy a "regional version" of Trainz.
Now I can buy again direct from Auran, the last I do this was Ultimate Trainz Collection, TRS2004 come to me over a friend in Austria with credit card...

Having gotten a chance to beta-test TR09, I have made the decision to buy the product. Honestly, I never care for the classic series, and did not bought it. However, my time spend testing the newest version have given me an opportunity to "spin the wheel", in a matter of speaking...
I like the new design, very refreshing ... better on the eyes then the classic series.
I like how you can organize your content within the game, basically allowing the user to have CMP with you in the game.
I like track work and how it looks...
As of content, I have created over 1000 items so I can take it or leave it!
However I like the work on the baseboards...
Although I feel trainz can improve more, and perhaps in the next version they can implement more flexible features like adding a mini window with the view map in which the route creator can see the layout from an aerial shot while he/she is working on a layout in surveyor, etc and stuff like that. Still, overall, I am happy.
Also, the price is appealing as well ... but I ma not motivated by price all together...
Congrats Auran ... you have done a fine job, not perfect, but good enough for me to open my wallet, and I am sure Tony and Company would say, that's good enough!!:wave:
But don't get over excited either Tony -- Trainz can go even further, and that decision does lie with you!
Multi player, mini-window for layout creators, more industrial interactive, crane trainz where the user can hop on the cab of a crane and load his/hers supplies, more interactive with products both visible and invisible ... etc etc
BTW. are we getting any first class voucher with the purchase of TR09, as we gotten with previews purchases?
Thanks for readying

I'd like to know - will there be scenarios in TRS2009? Like we had in TRS2004.
My thoughts... Im left confused as to which product is the full product. I see world builder edition, and engineer edition and Im just left wondering which is the full version like 2006 was the full version. Im also left feeling that there are so many editions (okay, maybe theres only 2 or 3 of them) that by buying just one, then Im left out of items that are left in other editions that I might want to utilize and feel like IM not really buying the whole game by buying any one particular edition.
As for preordering, I don't see anything that is a benefit to preordering. Usually when preordering a game from a place like EBGames, it secures my copy in the store, sometimes games offer me a perk for preordering, like getting some figurine, or an ingame item that is exclusive to the accounts of those that preorder and can't be traded, given away or duplicated in any manner, but I must be really dense because Im just not seeing where the perks are to preordering from auran.
Also, nothing to do with this topic, but Auran.com has always been and remains to be mollasses slow, and the whole thing with the "first class tickets" has always annoyed me that I've bought the game, given you my money, but required to pay more if I wish to get access to more content in a timely manner, this looks and feels very very cheap on the part of auran, where as other games that have addons, don't require me to pay them more to access said content in a timely and speedy manner.
Thant's my thoughts on my preordering Trainz 2009.
Oh, also I'd like to see screenshots of the improved vegetation in the game as trees and shrubs have always been disappointing in Trainz 2006 to me, with trees having the 4 branches, or X modeling, but I failed to find screenshots of vegetation on the trainz 2009 info screenshot page. Maybe again Im just dense and missed it.

My download finished this evening after 7 hours continuous (using Orbit Downloader) and I've had a quick run in Driver.
First impressions are that there is so much more realism, but my Graphics Card (ATI Radeon X1050) is acting up - I keep getting random flashing and flickering around the polygons so I'm tweaking the Catalyst controls to see what I can do!

I'm really cornfused:
"What it doesn't have is a whole range of brand new content. There are a number of new assets such as the SD40-2 loco and cab and the new TS2009 track. These assets show how good things will look once more high resolution content is produced."
Ok is the new track in World Builder or not? Sorry I'm getting old around here...
