Old But Crafty
I have been a TANE user (on Steam) since the Beta came out in 2014. I also had TS12 for a while when TANE was still being finalized.
Recently I got a new computer which allows me to run a bit higher graphics so I decided to try out TRS19. I got the North American edition. Then I downloaded my DLC from Steam, added in my JR locos and rolling stock, plus my K&L steamers. I took advantage of the upgrade to get rid of a bunch of old assets that didn't look that great even in TANE. I have also added in a few of MSGSapper's excellent routes.
I wasn't sure if I'd like the more subdued lighting compared to TANE but it looks very realistic to me. The new driver interface is an absolute joy (at least the easy one is.)
I'm still figuring out the Sessions creation. Without Quick Drive I seem to be cloning the route every time I make a Session.
I think I'll keep TANE around though. I suck at route building and I am sure my bad TANE routes aren't worth importing into TRS19. I'll have to learn about the new route building features in the latest release. For now I'll stick to driving and exploration.
It's early days but so far I don't regret moving over to TRS19.
