Who preordered 2010 wbe?
- Thread starter RoysTrainz
- Start date
I never got any voucher, eventhough I pre-ordered two seperate versions of Trainz 2009 back in December 2008, I've just now pre-ordered Trainz 2010 at the cost of £24.99 (includes airmail charge £4.95) total price £29.94, is this the right price, if someone could let me know, I'd be very grateful...
Many Thanks in advance

I think you were too late to qualify for a voucher if you ordered in December.
The price must be ok, you can only order 2010 direct from Auran at present. Not quite sure about the air mail, previously Mike10 has posted the uk copies in this country from a bulk supply.
I've ordered mine in Australian dollars (just being quirky) as I always have.

I'm thinking of preordering but since I told my parents I wanted 2009 for Christmas I might be too late so I won't be buying till 2010 if I do end up buying it. Sadly since that one video with the purple/pinkish engine is just what I wanted from a Trainz game.

Hi,
I've finally been home long enough to actually get the preorder thing done, I wanted to do this as I feel that while I might have not used TS2009 as much as though when I got it, I still want TS2010 as I feel it can only get better.
I like TS2009, I like the idea of layers in TS2010 and buy it for that part, and the trees of course - and I like to support this program the best I can as it has really given my life a lot of pleasure and ways to deal with life's bad turns that I never had before I found Trainz around 2001...
Just happy to help out, I been paying a lot of money lately for pleasures lasting way less so it is great value for the minutes of joy I get from it.
My husband is at the hospital now for the 23rd day, and while we hope he get home this coming week, we have weeks, possible months of hard times in front of us while he heals and I know Trainz will help at least me deal with all this.
I look forward to see TS2010, to try find time to explore and play with it, and the mere cents I pay for having this pleasure available to me whenever I feel for it, I can easy survive luckily - it sure beats 2 hours drive each day to get to a hospital and sit there all day long with expensive parking and all...
Take care all, and we all should do what we feel is the best for us, that is all anyone can expect from anybody.

Thank you Originalwelshborder for the quick reply, Yes I've pre-ordered Trainz 2010 from the Auran shop, just to make sure the Auran team gets all the money for all the hard work they have put in. I just wanted to make sure that the price was right, I'm happy with the price so long as it works, which I believe it will, as I have faith in the Auran team.
Once again thanks Originalwelshborder for your reply

Well I took the plunge and pre-ordered.
After long sober reflection and a further frustrating couple of days trying to make some headway in RW, I decided showing support for Auran is the right thing to do. I still think they are our best hope for the future of the train simming hobby and of all the developers/publishers, have their finger on the pulse of what we want. I've bought every other version up to now so it seems silly not to come to the party on this one.
I have told the wife she can wrap it up and put it away for my Xmas present, always assuming it gets through our current wave of postal strikes here in the UK in time!
The 20% discount effectively pays for the shipping so not too bad.
However I have taken a raincheck on the updated S&C until, 1. It comes as a DVD version and, 2. See what (if any) updated UK content is in TS2010.

It's a fact of life .. the greater the ability of the engine to simulate a more natural envirenment , the more complex the tools and skills required to add the game. ..
O/T .. the other product does have it's fair share of problems and you'll need to use it to find out how bad some things really are.
I got RailWorks VERY shortly after it was released. I have been using it on a high spec computer, with all detail settings on maximum. I have not found very many problems with it, and those I have found, are merely little bugs which you can overcome. The only thing I don't like about it is the route and scenario editors; they need to be less complicated. As for TS2010; I'm not sure whether I'll pre-order, OR buy it. TBH, I bought TS2009 but didn't register it in case I wanted to sell it. As you fellows at Auran may be able to see, it's still unregistered. And always will be. But I've still got it, just not worth downloading anything for it. TS2010 looks like it could either be a HUGE success or it could be a complete pile of..... Well, you know. I'lljust tag along with RailWorks and wait to see what happens in TSX!
YAY!
They are sane! (bring on the Chinese routes!)

The main problem with RW (and not to veer this thread off topic) is that so far as route building is concerned, it has all the drawbacks of MSTS (compared to Trainz) not to mention a few things which make it even tougher or slower to use. And unless you're prepared to spend days on a 1km strip it doesn't really look that much better. A forest still looks like a bunch of spindly trees planted in the grassy plain, not a venerable overgrown wood that's been there for 100's of years - an effect you can produce nicely in TRS with a good terrain mix and judicious use of the third party grass etc. splines.

Hi Linda,
sorry to hear of your troubles, I can understand how Trainz has been a big help to you. I have been caring for my wife for the last 2 years since she was in hospital for 7 months ( critical twice}. I too find Trainz helps enormously to let my mind escape the endless routine of caring, not that I resent doing it, at least my dear wife is still with me.
Anyway, long live Trainz!! Shame on all it's knockers!! John.

Thank you John!
Sorry to hear about the troubles your family too have to suffer through, I can easily imagine the stress such situation puts one mind into, and it is important to have an outlet from time to time.
I my self find a lot of joy in having to chance to care - like I think we all do - but sometimes things just grow over my head and I get exhausted.
For us this is a new situation, kinda like TS2010 will be, full of frustration and joy, the balance will be found in the end.
Sorry for the little off track in this thread, take care and as you say, long live Trainz!

pre-order
I did trie to be active in beta testing, but I lost the thread at all during this summer. The computer has been idle for a long time and now I will trie to get back. May be not beta testing, so I pre-ordered and will have a close look at it during wintertime.

yep i preordered it too hope i wont b dissappointed
Yeah I preordered 1st because it will be dearer when it arrives in shops, 2nd because it may be more stable than TRS2009 and has more content. I didn't buy 2009 because it seemed to me to be very much an unfinished product.
I had a choice of buying 2010 or upgrading RS to Railworks but didn't fancy spending large amounts of money for the locos I'd like to have. Railworks is even charging for extra sessions how lousy can you get? At least with TRS I have some ability to create my own content.
