On my My Trainz pages I find download links for both Trainz22 and Trainz22PE, both build 123801. What are the differences between them?

If it was in your TS22 then they will be retained in PE.I think that that may have happened to me. I thought that I had installed Trainz22, but find that I`m running Trainz22PE. After discovering the presence of the two links, but before noticing that the installed version calls itself Trainz22PE, I started downloading the PE version. I guess that I can cancel the download, then, eh? Oh, and those no-longer-available assets? If I did install Trainz22 instead of Trainz22PE, would any such assets that may have been in Trainz22 still be in my Trainz22PE? Obviously I would not have them if I had installed PE in the first place. <wink> Thank you.
I do have an in-progress download of the file behind the PE link, and wouldn`t mind at all if someone were to tell me if I should or should not abort that download.I guess that I can cancel the download, then, eh?
TRS22 introduced faster and better program performance compared to TRS19.I had trainz T.ANE auran version, TRS 2019 steam version.
I think auran version is better for me, because we don't need internet connection in every seconds like steam version.
For my eyes, TRS 2019 is better looking (maybe because we can use PBR).
And I receive an email about TRS 2022.
I am stand alone player, not a fan of multiplayer because slow internet connection. And no need HD ground. Surveyor 2.0 ? I don't know....
I prefer to create a route that is similar to the one in my place (buildings, track size, trains, etc. via google earth).
So, what difference between TRS 2022 and 2019 ? Are there big difference ?
I did purchase Trainz22 (or Trainz22PE) recently: just before Christmas. One reason I bought it then was because I had received (yet another) e-mail advertising a sale price, and this one had not already expired before I noticed it. Other than that, your ideas at least seem plausible.
As for your second post (which appeared while I was writing this), I do not have Win7; I had Win10 all along, I was merely uncertain which Windows version I had. All the same, the comment is interesting, on several levels.
I caught the point :TRS22 introduced faster and better program performance compared to TRS19.
You can continue to do what you do with Google Earth just the same. With TRS22 Platinum Edition and Plus, you get Surveyor 2.0. Surveyor 2.0 is the new surveyor and currently coexists with the old one we've grown to love and hate. Surveyor 2.0 allows for finer control over asset placement, group moving and adjusting, a smaller texture brush size, scrapbooks that hold assets ready for pasting on any route. These are very helpful for placing groups of trees, for example, and many more things. If you can't do something in Surveyor 2.0, you can always jump back to Classic Surveyor as it's called. If you don't want to use Surveyor 2.0, you don't need to and many of us jump between the two versions all the time but more and more many people are spending more time in Surveyor 2.0 and less time in Classic.
TRS22 has PBR textures just like TRS19 as well as a different kind of water applied in Surveyor 2.0. The new water is an effects layer and allows for water at different levels throughout a route which means you can have ponds at higher levels than rivers and different kinds of water surfaces such as rippling water for a lake and still quiet water for a small pond.
HD terrain is optional as well and like most things in Trainz, you don't have to use it if you don't want to. It's still new and there are some hardware limitations limiting the number of textures to 16 per baseboard. This isn't a TRS22 PE or Plus thing and is related to the hardware in all computers at this time.
There is no need for the Multiplayer or Multiplayer Surveyor if you don't want to use it. I tried it and even beta tested it. It's great if you have a group of people working on the same route project but like you, I also work solo and prefer to keep it that way.
Other people will post here with more to say than I did. Hopefully this gives you something to think about.
Okay, thanks for your info for my consideration to buy TRS 2022, INCLUDE HD terrain ....The 1 to 2 meters only works in HD Terrain but you can easily convert a 10-meter grid route to 5 meters all at once. I just did that and it beat the old way of selecting one baseboard at a time. The rest though is spot on.
