Pre-Grouping Railways Nut
I started with the Gold sub to kick the tyres on the game, then when the Uk version came along I purchased that and cancelled my Gold sub, - but not before purchasing the DLC routes I actually wanted using my Gold sub discount. There wasn't much DLC I did want though since anything for the Uk is the poor relation when it comes to Trainz.
The content vault wasn't worth having. It was the same old stuff going round and round I didn't want so it was no loss giving it the toss.
I use TS2019 mostly to run updated versions of my favourite legacy routes and they certainly do look very nice in the new simulator. I don't use any of the magic stuff like Tufts (or whatever it is) in TS2019 because from reading forum posts all it does is cause problems and wreck things when trying to use it. Most of the time I can find a lighting setting somewhere between the sun going supernova and the depths of the Slough of Despond that works and looks Ok, but for someone new to Trainz starting out with TS2019 they must wonder what the heck is going on when they start up the sim for the first time.
I continue to build things in TS2012 and I do my own reskins so I don't think I'm missing anything. The day N3V comes up with something I can actually use in the way of assets for my chosen Uk era will be the day there's snowball fights in hell.
