A few weeks ago Mr.H posted a list of languages and the progress for each one in translation. I seem to remember Italian was one of the least translated so far with French and German being more advanced. There were none complete so I guess pegaso is right having sacked their translators they are now deeply mired in we know what.

N3V have now realised that they had forgotten to upload the update for the Platinum edition and corrected that minor omission. I am about to download and install it so wish me luck. Bob

The reply to G.M. is very clear "test everything" because N3V do not understand "if it isn't broke don't fix it" and they always break something new or fail to fix what has be broken for years. Everyone knows that!

N3V have now released the "Final Final Release Candidate" for SP5 and I read what Mr. H had to say. I am afraid I took exception to his narrow minded understanding of the number of versions us users still use and so I replied to his post and this was what I said Final-Final SP5 Release Candidate now available (auran.com) I have not yet updated to this release but I will let you know what I think after the update.

remember your post and the inane Reply from Mr. H, his answer was complete rubbish. ave tave TZIT as part of their signaturebsolutly agree everyone who is a TZIT member should hATHE I absolutely agree all members of TZIT should have it in their Auran signature. I have and I know from PM's I have had on that forum, it is noticed. By the way I have left the mess in this message to show what happens when I try to answer in this thread. the first line of my reply should start with "I remember" the I is turned into THE at the end. The second part of the message should be what I have repeated using notepad and then cut and paste with the underline.

Bob found it all by himself. I have seen this issue raised on the N3V forum and I am sure (if my memory is not tricking me) that Mr. H stated there was a fix due in the next update. I cannot find the thread now so I am not sure what update that would have been. We might still be waiting for it. What is a good Idea is to create a bug report, not a ticket. The bug report goes directly to the development team and seems to go over Mr. H's head as he often contradicts the Dev. team on the forums. If you would like me to submit a bug report in abusive Ozzy I am happy to do that but I will need to know what version you found the problem, the version you are using now, your Trainz ID (like mine is DennR) and any kuid numbers of the assets affected. I do enjoy making N3V work for their money. To any Admin, I have had to write this message in notepad and cut and paste it here because when I try to typed directly into the message it corrupted the text.

Another update, this time it was heralded as the "Final Release Candidate" but I discovered that it was blocking access to the authentication servers so my account was not recognised although the Trains setting said my account was OK. To fix it I had to log out and reset my details . Others reported it on the Forum but as I like to poke them I sent in a bug report and N3V have not replied to the BR and the "Final Release Candidate" has not been released so maybe it is not a final release candidate.

N3V QA Team replied to my bug reports and given that the name TRS2019 is a give away as to when the version was released the replies are a little bit of a concern although not a surprise. First reply "Hi Bob. Yes there are quite a few things like this on our list to fix. I'll see if it can be raised up the priority list." Second Reply "As with my earlier reply - there is a task open and it's on a [long] list of things to fix." I did not add the [] around the word long and that is what concerned me!!!! The bug report form requests the current release and the release when first identified and for both of those the release when first noticed (and in my case reported) was TANE SP4 and they are still not fixed. There is now clear evidence that the TRS19 SP5 update and the TRS22 Beta updates are being developed in parallel and that when somthing is broken or fixed it appears in both versions so I assume that means that all the [long] list of broken parts in TRS19 are also broken in TRS22 The Joys of Trainz, Bob

Another Beta and many of the same issues from the earlier SP5 Beta releases. I have now tried 116210 and there are some improvements which get us back to how SP4 worked before the integration with TRS22 Beta code. Unfortunately, many more issues have not been addressed and do not appear in the list of known issues that accompany this release. So, while Carlo runs away, I walk forwards, and I have sent is a batch of bug reports for the boys to have a look at in a few hours’ time when they arrive at work. I did however miss one bug which I have just posted a message on the Auran forum about. If the message fails to get a reply from N3V I will have to send another bug report because I refuse to give up. After all it took, them 10 days to make their minds up to deport the number one tennis player from Auss so Trainz bugs will always take a long time.

I have posted several messages about issues with TRS22 on the Auran forum and The CEO has never replied to any of them. Yesterday I posted this "I am pleased to see that the latest Beta release has addressed some of the major issues I have seen and reported from 115628. and I look forward to the next public release. I do not have a subscription because I took advantage of a first class ticket for life several years ago and it still has over 5400 days to run and I don't think I have that many days left to run. I also do not want any additional DLC packages so I simply cannot see the value in a subscription for me. That is why I watch with great interest the progress but do not participate in the very valuable Beta test phases of development until they become open to us mere buyers of the Trainz updates." Over night I got a reply "Hi Bob - you get a $24/yr discount on your membership with your lifetime FCT. Also the TRS22 update shouldn't be too long Tony Hilliam" So today I have made my point very clear for Mr Hilliam, lets see what he thinks of this "Thanks for that Tony but I had already factored that in to my calculation and it goes like this:- TRS22 purchase $69.99 less $20 discount. $49.99 Paid Trainz Plus $69.49 less $24 discount. $45.49 Nett Cost to me for Year one would be $ 95.48 with an ongoing cost of $45.49 per annum at todays price. I am sorry that simply does not add up for me, I will live with the exclusion from immediate Beta access but that won't stop me from reporting issues as and when I do find them."

That is because you are still young enough to run .

I am happy for anyone to laugh at me or with me and when I see a new trainz Beta I must laugh or I might cry .

I think there is a common issue in the Trainz program that is causing several of the problems we see in the latest TRS19 Beta and the TRS22 Beta release. There are reports and my experience of derailed AI and Player rolling stock , then there are repotes of consists being displaced off the maps. There are then other reports that when people try and use the new surveyor 2 that the different layers are not independent of each other and that consists in the session layer influence the tracks in the route layer. I suspect that the converse is also true and that adjusting the tracks in the route layer can displace a consist that is placed on that track spline. I now think that whatever has caused the basic issue with interdependant layers is the fundamental or at least a major factor in causing all the diplaced consists I and many others on the Auran forums are experiencing. We eagarly await the next Beta or Release Candidates of both versions of TRS.

I have the best of both worlds, in TRS19 I have the Beta Route and all the original sessions. In TRS22 I have the Beta N3V release with the modified sessions. Sadly any passengers who used the Fraser stop in the Beta sessions we made are now stranded in the N3V sessions because the Fraser stop is no longer part of the Ski Train sessions.

Over night I have a reply from the bottom of the World and it reads "Thanks for the report. We've reproduced the issue and will sort this out in the next update.Kind RegardsN3V Games Support Team" Note there is no mention of the problem with the bug report! Today I have sent another Bug report and this time the new Beta versions have been added so clearly a kick in the right place has some effect.

gigi-mimo. I did see your report, I thought that Tony's reply was worthless and I fear he had not read your message but simply assumed your issue was the basic installation problem others have had. I do agree with you we need a stable release for years to come not a rush release just for Christmas.

Carlo don't loose faith, this was only a release "candidate" and you know how many cnadiates usually stand for election but only one wins. I just hope it is not this candidate that wins because no bugs were reported!

We now have Release Candidate build 116009 and I spent about 1 hour testing it and the good news is that this fixes the derail on coupling. The bad news is that ghost rolling stock can be created and if you try to edit it in surveyor TRS19 build 11609 crashes to desktop. If you couple to it in player and then try to move it, it will derail. Worst news is I cannot report this with the bug report form because it does not recognise this build number so I had to submit it on a ticket. I do hope they can release a new and better Release Candidate.

I have update an install of TRS19 to the latest Beta release and there are some good fixes in it but there are still some updates to DLS paid for routes and sessions that have not yet been fixed. And sadly I noticed on the Auran forum that others were reporting a derail on coupling error. I tested it and in several DLC routes and sessions the session will run until a coupling is required and when you try to couple the whole train derails. I suspect that this happens because the track is displaced by a pixel or two and the stationary consist is already in jepordy. The problem also occurs if you set up two consists and set a couple command. I think SP5 might still be chick trying to break out of it's shell with a blunt beak.

Hi It is me again. I have now got both sessions of Tankers over Tehachapi updated and working in TRS19 SP4 so If you would like to test either your own or both I can send you the cdp files. It is worth doing because I have been stamping my feet very hard and giving N3V a headache. They assure me that Mojave route is in work to fix the tunnels and make the crossings work. If they do that I guess the route might feature in the next version of trains. Please let me know because so far the sessions have only been tested by me. In your part 1 when you couple all the empty tankcars and set them out ready to run around them I have added an extended signal rule so you have two choices. either split the consist to clear the road or move the whole consist past the road as the signal is now permissive. I did have to replace every Un-Portal because the rule has been updated and our old version was corrupted in TRS19. Very Best Regards, Bob

For TRS22 you need higher percentage, even Sherlock would need mor coke.

I have updates both desktop and laptop to Windows 11 and the work well. I have TRS19 installed on both and have had no problems that have anything to do with Windows. There are still many fixes required for TRS19 SP4 but I guess only the ones that cause the biggest problems will get fixed. I am sure TRS22 is now the sole focus of the N3V team. I do get TRS19 freezing in Surveyor but it was doing that in Windows 10 so definitly not a Windows 11 issue.

Thank You Dear Friend, I hope those two sessions can live on in TRS19. I also tried Euro Truck Sim but I could not get my head around the London to Rome trip only taking one hour. If you can cope with the supersonic freight transport good for you. I have been giving our friends in the land of Oz some things to think about today both in the forum and by tickets because they seem to be making Mt Vesuvius out of a mole hill. Ciao

My good friend, I have updated both the Tanker sessions we uploaded to the DLS for TRS2012. They both run well in TRS2019 SP4 and I would like to upload they to the DLS again. I understand you hate N3V with vengeance, so do I but I still annoy them at every chance I get. I do hope you will grant me permission to upload your session with mine. I have not changed the functionality in any way all I have done is add extended signal commands at several points where the new logic in TRS19 has changed from TRS12. I will try to remember how to change the author back from me to you so it will have the same kuid. I have not used that trick you taught me since we worked on those sessions, but I am confident I can do that. Very Best Regards, Your Friend Bob
