Update Overview??

[boleyd]

Is this where Updates are explained? I have an update to TRS22 pending. I want to see its objectives before I push the download button. If it is of little value to my setup then I can wait until others have vetted it.

There is one for the beta stream that just came up for me. But I run a separate installation for the beta.
There was a note on the Discord beta-testers-trainz-plus channel about 3 hours ago that said:

We have the next Trainz Living Railroad (TLR) Phase 1 Beta release to try. Thank you to all our Beta testers. This update has includes several recent UI & MPS fixes as well as game controller support for Mac.

As it says its for Trainz Living Railroad.

Yes. And as the info in most beta announcements state, work done in beta's should be considered throw away. You should have a core install and a beta install. And don't forget the backups!

Clarification - Install a beta then there is no recourse until any problems are fixed which may bring another Beta with a new set of issues???? Have to hope for an alleged base update.

I have an update available for TRS22. From Sp 1 to Sp2. Could someone who has downloaded this latest update give an overview? This particular thread mentions some unfavourable and troubling issues concerning this new update:
