Hello Guys,
This is what I posted to Tony:
Having gotten a chance to beta-test TR09, I have made the decision to buy the product. Honestly, I never care for the classic series, and did not bought it. However, my time spend testing the newest version have given me an opportunity to "spin the wheel", in a matter of speaking...
I like the new design, very refreshing ... better on the eyes then the classic series.
I like how you can organize your content within the game, basically allowing the user to have CMP with you in the game.
I like track work and how it looks...
As of content, I have created over 1000 items so I can take it or leave it!
However I like the work on the baseboards...
Although I feel trainz can improve more, and perhaps in the next version they can implement more flexible features like adding a mini window with the view map in which the route creator can see the layout from an aerial shot while he/she is working on a layout in surveyor, etc and stuff like that. Still, overall, I am happy.
Also, the price is appealing as well ... but I ma not motivated by price all together...
Congrats Auran ... you have done a fine job, not perfect, but good enough for me to open my wallet, and I am sure Tony and Company would say, that's good enough!!
But don't get over excited either Tony -- Trainz can go even further, and that decision does lie with you!
Multi player, mini-window for layout creators, more industrial interactive, crane trainz where the user can hop on the cab of a crane and load his/hers supplies, more interactive with products both visible and invisible ... etc etc
BTW. are we getting any first class voucher with the purchase of TR09, as we gotten with previews purchases?
Thanks for readying
Ish
