Search the Steam Store.What makes Trainz so special?Trainz: A New Era is far more than a train simulator. Sure there are hundreds of locos and dozens of routes and sessions you can drive in the Platinum Edition Bundle. But the real power of Trainz comes with all the extra things you can do beyond the builtin-in content set.All the tools to build your own railroad are included, and in fact, every route you see in Trainz is created by customers just like you. There are now well over 10,000 routes available on the Trainz Download Station (DLS) that you can download for free and enjoy. So when people tell you "you have to buy lots of DLC" remind them that the choice is theirs, with plenty of high quality free routes and content available on the DLS.Key FeaturesAll-new graphics engine with full world shadows and per-pixel lightingMultiplayer Share your enthusiasm with other rail fans and combine your efforts with others to operate a working rail line!Our most accurate simulation yet with real time world physics and editing tools!Our physics use a variety of configurable inputs such as engine powers, train weight and rolling resistance whilst taking into account factors like track gradient, curve resistance and track adhesion for each train car when accelerating or decelerating. The brand new real time physics editing tools allow players to tune physics 'on-the-fly' to take their simulation's performance even further.Brand-new Real-time Physics Editing tools enable users to enter known specifications to accurately monitor all the forces at work. Things like tractive effort, drawbar pull or brake pipe pressure can be monitored at a specific point along the train and input values adjusted "on-the-fly". By analysing and tuning performance without leaving the simulation, real-world train characteristics can be matched perfectly. (It's a bit like running a virtual dynamometer car).If physics aren't your thing, don't worry. You can leave the fine-tuning of your favourite locomotive's performance to the experts whilst still having the choice between 'Realistic Mode' or 'Easy Mode' driving options.Procedurally animated spline junctionsAn updated set of track laying tools are provided in Surveyor to automatically adds frogs/vee, blades, and checkrails in the correct place on the tracks when making a switch, turnout or junction. The blades then animate as the junction direction is changed.Realistic cab sway and external train motionUsing a new suspension modelling system and additional track and traincar parameters, cab sway and "car rocking" from both internal and external perspective provide more realistic train motion visuals. When running on rough track, cars will wobble and shake independently.Smoke and weather affected by world objectsNew particle effects and collision systems will prevent rain penetrating a tunnel, smoke will billow out from the underside of a bridge or the top of a tunnel and all particle effects will change velocity, direction and flow more naturally.Tons of Extra ContentAccess to over 250,000+ free DLC items via The Download StationIn-game downloadable content system for both payware and freeware optionsCreate your own routes with powerful in-game level editing toolsConfigurable control schemesNever lose your way with the in-game navigation systemOpen multiple windows to view and compare items in Preview Mode while creating your world in another windowIncl. 250 page digital user manual - a digital PDF providing detailed information on every aspect of TrainzStandard Edition Routes and SessionsTrainz: A New Era provides a variety of high quality routes - built-in to the core edition, available as Downloadable Content (payware) or from the DLS (freeware).

Do you find the idea of searching for missing assets (labelled as "KUIDs", consisting of 20-ish numbers and characters) by typing their KUIDs into a third party site (that you have to register to use) so you can figure out what they are on the "free" download station? Then, do you enjoy a "free" 10kbps download speed UNLESS you pay $3.00 for the "high-speed" two day pass on the download station? Here's a better and CHEAPER solution- break a mirror and try to put it back together. You will have more luck in that, plus it will seem much simpler than trying to get seemingly ANY route, locomotive, or session to work properly in this game. Even the payware stuff. YES, THE PAYWARE ROUTES ARE RIDDLED WITH ISSUES! Missing textures, invisible track... all to the tune of an EXTRA $40.00! That's $80.00 to run your trains on thin air! I've been trying to fall in love with Trainz since I first had it on a Windows XP computer with TRS2004. Now, 15 years into the future, the game looks VIRTUALLY THE SAME. Sure, some trees are better. Yeah, there are some better locomotive textures. But I still see 2D track, 2D textures, more missing assets, and trains that look like something from Microsoft Train Simulator- yes, MSTS, which we would play on our Windows 2000 machines. I'm done with N3V games. They are money-hungry, lazy, slacking developers who can't even deliver a payware route with freaking ground textures. Nope, all you get are grey and yellow gridlines where rivers and meadows are supposed to evoke the Rocky Mountains of Western Canada. But hey, maybe if I throw another $40.00 at re-downloading their payware, those textures would appear and function. That isn't a $40.00 bet I'm willing to make. Save your money, both on this game and Excedrin, and buy yourself something nice- Maybe a jigsaw puzzle of a train, which would have better graphics, be more enjoyable, and be completed faster than a 500kb boxcar will download from their download station. Or buy it and begin to invent new cuss-words to take with you to your next company meeting or family reunion. The choice is yours- choose wisely!. the usra light pacific is cool. Ummm. Looked promising, loads quicker than DTG effort. However default settings are terrible and ultra are unplayable. Even on medium settings the environment is more stretched 800x600 and it shows. In the 21 minutes I took to get just out of Kings X, made my mind up that the game is just a re hash of earlier versions - I played Trainz 2012 on the PC at that was bad. It seems I am just playing the same game with a bit more digital improvements in colours, the engine noise is terrible and the draw lines of the graphics are slow. Sorry but this one is going back to Steam for a refund.. S-L-O-W and choppy frame rates, even on a 2080ti.S-L-O-W downloads unless you pay out for a first class ticket.This is 2019 not 1999 for heavens sake!Badly needs optimising and the ridiculous download speed and cap needs removing.Until then it's a no from me!3\/10. I am still unable to get this to work I can hear it running in the background but I can\u2019t see a picture of anything. I am running Windows 10.When I first installed it it would run a little bit but it was very jerky and now when I try to play it I can hear it running in the background but it\u2019s not visible on the screen.Please help.Mack
