I have had TMR2017 for a bunch of months now and am rather largley discussed with it in two particular areas.
1) No one at N3V seems to understand that a custom train set should be that - custom. It's mine, I paid for it and I want it to be ALL MINE, not theirs anymore !!
I cannot delete any of the Built-in assets. Why is that ?? It takes up a lot of room, some of it is very olde an not useful for me and now, N3V has made it so we cannot
delete it EVER. I try not to download anything older than v2.9 so it runs like it should in this advanced Trainz platform. The olde stuff looks really crummy in here
as it did years ago. Thanks for having it so we can get started running but, now I want your realistic 3D models that look and run perfectly.
2) I just ran through a situation that almost made me toss the (dam) thing out and go with another product.
I just recovered from a minor crash that puzzled me completely. The mouse quit working, and I could not press anything to find out why. So, I ultimately had to use the
'off' switch to turn it all off and start over. After a few minutes of waiting, I turned the PC back on. Everything came back okay and the mouse began to live again.
I got the TMR2017 to come back and after about a 15 minute start-up, it appeared.
Here comes the crummy part.
Once I checked the menu for my route that I was building for me and the friend in Kansas City, it was gone !! None of my two weeks of work had shown up anywhere.
It was completely gone. The Content Manager had no listing for the route nor did it have any downloaded assets that I had found for the past two weeks.
The entire game had gone back to the factory default and nothing of mine was anywhere to be seen. Like I had just bought the game and was beginning to find my
place.
I want this game to be mine - no one else's. That's all. I really hate showing my ass by doing this but, (*?*?*?*?*?*??*), it belongs to me now and I want it to have
all of my downloads just like I like them. Many of us olde timers, since about 2004 (13 years and counting) which is awesome in some usual cases, should have some
respect shown and be able to expect someone to give reasonably powerful answers. I would refer someone from product development, management or programming
to give me an answer that I understand and why this thing cannot (or can) be changed.
I would like the ability to delete all the built-in assets that I do not want.
I would like the "asset database rebuild" to be eliminated.
I would like for the default mechanism in this game to be corrected so that when there is a system annoyance, the game does not revert
back to factory level.
I do understand that this game was built from scratch by programming, scripts and codes. Someone who knows what I am talking about can go into the codes and
change what has been written to make these thing go away. If it was written in there, it can be removed.
This could be my thesis for a 10 page gripe, but I won't do that. I have respect for the company and the game so please respect my dilemma deeply and try to
correct a few 2017 issues.
