Serif are offering a copy of Trainz at a very reduced price. I'm not sure what version it is but I assume it is an earlier version. Do anyone have experience of Trainz? How does it compare to MS Train Simulator? Any comments would be welcome
Whyell, just a fair warning: There are several posts about this topic and all have more or less gotten pretty messy./JonatanSteam rules! Train gifs from Dans Railroad Gif RoundhouseNever trust computers. If you do, they will betray you.I'm the steam freak, ph34r me!!
To put it simply, Microsoft Train Simulator is a train simulator. Auran Trainz is a model railroad simulator. No offense or judgment intended here folks. Just a cut to the bone. As mentioned, they both have their pro's and con's, and yes-I do have both. Hawk Just plain "Hawk". Not "WF-Hawk" Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. -- Benjamin Franklin
Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 has also been selling at discount prices due to the fairly high end comp requirements, I picked up my copy of TRS04 for 19.99 at EB and ended up buying a new computer more than capable of running TRS04(most expensive "cheap" software I ever bought )and found myself very disapointed with the Auran offering, it sits on my HD collecting virtual dust while the old workhorse MSTS just keeps chugging along.Gary S

> To put it simply, Microsoft Train Simulator is a train simulator. > Auran Trainz is a model railroad simulator. > No offense or judgment intended here folks.There shouldn't be any offense taken by anyone. Insofar as the original Trainz goes, Auran themselves used to actually say that...----------- BUZZ -----------
