Trains Games and Computers

Believe it or not, I'm a gamer from the Pin Ball era, simple and 25cents a game, from that point on I got into Computers, immersed in the Graphics, played space games, and eventually went to MMP Modern War for about 5yrs, problem was it just took to much of my time! Finally in Nov 2014 I left Modern War, and found quit by accident on my IPAD Trainz Driver2 and never looked back, why you ask? Well, I grew up with trains, as toddler, my first train set was all Wood, imagine that! Then at the age of 8 my Dad gave me my first HO electric Train set, which I still have, however with health issues, Trainz is a much better way for me to go, plus I found this great forum to play in.

As a kid growing up, Railroad Tracks were 2 blocks away from my house, Southern Pacific, 1200-1500 and Black Widows F9's I think would pass buy and do there switching, etc, and I had so much fun watching them, waving to the engineers, yes I confess, I walked on the tracks too! Dummy me, lucky I never got ran over or mangled by the train.

I too downloaded City and Country and Swiss Alps or Aurora by Infrared Bob, for now I have several routes downloaded, the newest being Donner's Pass (payware) from TrainzItalia site, and several Narrow Gauge Routes too, like Himalaya, I'm learning about Narrow Gauge and find them fascinating to play with along with normal Gauge routes, even though Trainz has it's issues, especially Tane, which I won't touch for another 2 yrs, why you ask?

Well being a seasoned computer veteran from the 70's and dealing with lots of Corporate pain from Bill Gates and Windows, I know better! Personally for me after DOS 2.0 & Win 1.0 version, I learned not to buy Software brands new, as a lot of times it wasn't ready for Prime Time. I think this is great Game Sim to play around with, and you'll notice there are others who don't play above TS-09 or TS-10 Version because they have gotten good with that version and don't experience the issues above theirs....
:'( I had my experiences with IPAD's limited memory and storage issues, :hehe: but I learned how to make it work ok. It worked great for when I travel on biz trips, and if visit family and such, my laptop with TS-12 works fantastic except with built in Video card on motherboard has it's limits

, running WIN-10 OS,,,,but again, I have after 7 months, I figured out how to run my Laptop lean and get the best performance I can out of TS-12. So there you have it.

Feel free to ask questions.
