So, what do I have?

[b9k9kiwi]

I have a Trainz Gold Membership.

When I start Trainz the initial display header is labeled Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022 launcher (only just noticed that).

The dialog display, however, is emblazoned with Trainz+ in Gold.

I thought this gave me fine HD (0.125) features, but apparently not ... the Trainz Shop is no help to me ... so how do I get the latest and greatest?

header is labeled Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022

The windows header for Trainz Plus will always show the latest Trainz (non-subscription retail) release name - in this case Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022. When TRS19 was the latest non-subscription retail release it showed Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019. When the next release appears (2026??) it will show Trainz Railroad Simulator 2026??.

You always use the graphic (Trainz+) in the Launcher and Start windows as your guide.

I also have Trainz Plus Gold and the word "Gold" does not appear anywhere. Its only effect is in the Install button which appears instead of the Purchase button on all DLC content in the Trainz Content Store.

Yes, you have access to HD grid, textures etc. Trainz Living Railroad and all of the DLC to download. To actually access that though, you need to be running the latest Trainz plus build or Trainz plus beta build.
133407 is the latest Trainz Plus beta build

The latest Trainz Plus Beta builds are 134634 (Windows) and 134645 (Mac). See this post.

Thank you everyone ... my build is 131950, but don't get any update patch availability notification.

 

[b9k9kiwi]

A check for available Trainz updates advises no updates available ... perhaps my installation is at fault in some way and I should reinstall.

I'd check the update stream first. Mine says "Trainz Plus". There is also the regular TRS22, a TRS22 Beta, TRS22 Plus beta, and one called "Trainz Plus Alpha". The last one is an old early edition I believe.

Anyway, I think you should try "Trainz Plus".

Edit: I forgot to say my installation is 132284.

 

[pware]

my build is 131950

That is the previous release for Trainz+ (Windows) as purchased from the Trainz Store.

The current latest release for Trainz+ (Windows) is 132284, again from the Trainz Store.

I would put in a ticket at Trainz Support (link at the top of this screen). If you have checked for updates - by clicking the Trainz Settings button on the Launcher, selecting the Install tab and clicking the Check for Trainz Updates.. button and got a "No updates" message - then be sure to tell them that because that will usually be the first question you will get from them.

To update from 131950 (SP6) to 132284 (SP6 HF1) the stream must be set on "Beta".

 

[N3VSupport]

Hey All
Just to confirm, the TRS22 and Trainz Plus editions are separate versions of Trainz. It is not possible to patch from one to the other; and as such to access Trainz Plus features you will need to separately install the Trainz Plus version from your MyTrainz account.

That does not match my experience. The update from 131950 to 132284 update arrived without setting the stream to "beta".

The latest Windows Trainz Plus non-beta is b132284 which has no SP6/HF1 labels and the latest Windows Trainz Plus beta is (b134634 again with no SP6/HF1 labels. The latest Windows TRS22PE is b132285 with the labels SP6/HF1.

See the Trainz Wiki at Build_Numbers#TRS22_-_Trainz_Railroad_Simulator_2022_and_Trainz_Plus and scroll down to the bottom of that table. There are separate build numbers for the Mac, Steam (Windows), Steam (Mac) and Windows (Trainz Store) versions.

If your launcher say Trainz Plus then you have Trainz Plus. If you want the Beta version of Trainz Plus, you need click on the Trainz Settings button, then on the Install tab. Then click the Change Trainz update stream button. Click the Next button twice, it will tell you your current Stream which should be Trainz Plus. If it isn't then you don't have Trainz Plus installed. Do as N3VSupport says and download it from your MyTrainz account page.
Click the Change Stream... button and choose Trainz Plus Beta and choose OK then Done.

When you start Trainz Plus after the update then open Surveyor. It may come up in Surveyor 2.0 or in Classic Surveyor depending on what you last used. HD Terrian is only available in Surveyor 2.0. If you are in Surveyor 2.0 then scroll the compass to the edge of the baseboard. If there is nothing beneath the baseboard then you are on an HD Terrain baseboard. You have to change the ground texture to Grid if you are seeing the grass texture. Go to the Display window at the top menu bar and choose Ground>Grid. You should now see grid of tiny squares. To learn how to use Surveyor 2.0, I recommend Pware's excellent wiki page which I'm sure he will provide a direct link to shortly.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I had to set stream to "Trainz Plus Beta" to be able to update from 131950 to 132284. This was last year in September on day 1, perhaps things have now changed. Edit: it is now the normal stream (confirmed in this post).

The latest Windows Trainz Plus non-beta is b132284 which has no SP6/HF1 labels

The Trainz Wiki is incomplete as it doesn't mention what SPs are Trainz + builds (I wonder why). The information is only given via annoucements. 132284 is SP6 HF1 (it was only annouced here). An example here that confirms 131950 is SP6 (so what would you think the next update - 132284 - could be if not HF1 as SP7 doesn't exists yet?).
