Hi,
My interest in Trainz has been re-ignited after finding a trainz 2006 installation dvd in the draw the other day.
A couple of questions before I buy V22 (or V19)
Does it need a powerful PC? My system is a Ryzen 5 5600 with 16Gb memory and a Geforce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card would this be OK, it's not designed to be a gaming PC but it does run Train sim classic and Train sim world ok.
My main aim is to try and build my own route based on my local area (Wiltshire) but perhaps how it was in the 1960's, I seem to remember I done something similar on the old version - The problem I have with Train sim classic, virtually all the UK routes are in "modern" time with most stations lacking in sidings, goods yards and branch lines, all rather boring to me (just showing my age
).
I see V19 is still available on the web site, is there any advantage in purchasing an older version (easier on the cpu?)
Lastly, I see Steam has the main program in the winter sale at the moment, what is the general consensus on buying/downloading from Steam rather than the main web site (apart from price during the sale)
Thanks
Paul
