Trainz Plus - enjoy Trainz from just 20 cents a da
Our first update for Gold Class members is now available for Beta Testing for PC only (Mac to follow next week).
This Beta Test is a "very close to final release" standard. There are some known issues (listed below) and we don't expect a long list of new issues to arise. But, that's why we want as many testers as possible to jump on board.
Instructions:
To become a tester, the instructions are simple:
More Information:
You can read more information at the news page here.
For specific information on the new functionality, we strongly recommend you use the in-game '?' tool which, when used, takes you to the appropriate Trainz Plus wiki page.
Feedback:
We are keen to hear your feedback on the new features/functionailty. Don't be shy, or if you don't want to post here, use our Feedback at n3vgames email address.
As with all things, once you know how to make the most of the new systems, we're confident you're going to love them.
Known Issues:
Also note that patching does not overwrite your current control settings, so you will need to enter your own hotkeys for the new cameras.
Prototypes:
Drone Anchor:
There is a prototype "Anchor" system included for the new Drone camera.
Use Ctrl-Left click to target a traincar or even the terrain. Your arrow keys then orbit you around the target and mouse is used to pitch up and down.
Change cameras to escape from this control system.
Console controller:
We'd love to hear from everyone who has a controller (even if you don't usually use one with your PC).

Known Issues:
- The build has "Assertions Enabled" and so will provide certain developer related information via messages.
- Generally you can just click Continue and carry on.
- Initial loading of the main menu scene takes longer than usual
- Initial load of first few sessions will show "compiling shaders" longer than usual
- Crash on exiting Tutorial 1 (Driver). This may occur on other routes.
- Tutorial 10 - Steam Driver Control digital readouts stuck at 100%
- Some steam loco keyboard controls not working (sliders are working)
- Field of View controls still being tweaked
- File > "Install purchased items from Disk" is showing but not enabled
- TANE icon appears on the Windows taskbar
