I'm hoping that the majority of content already on trainz will be compatible to use on it, otherwise Auran, oops I mean N3V are going to turn their old customers away in droves.
I haven't actually started content creation proper, as yet. Building a route or reskinning existing stuff is one thing but to build from scratch is another. I've toyed with it a few times.
While I like 'the other sim', it's for different reasons. I love using it for driving but I'd like to give session creation a bash at some stage. The driving experience is far more immersive than that in Trainz. Trainz on the othe hand is really intuitive for route-building (which I'm told is not the case in 'the other sim') and that's what I do most in Trainz.
I'm sure N3V will manage to ensure some forward compatability for TANE or there isn't going to be much content available at the outset, which may put people off.
Anyway, I'm not going to make this another pro this, anti that thread.
Fine weather is finally baking Belfast but I will be sitting in a hot committee room for much of the afternoon...
