Thanks for that Very useful

Thank you from me as well, I've actually taken a screenshot of it and saved it in my 'Important Trainz Notes' folder, it'll be a very useful reference aid.

EDIT: I think Trainz Build 2.7 also applied to the German Version of TRS2006, becoming TRS2007, which I obtained, I'm sure others did also.

Cheerz. ex-railwayman.

An update for your list 73129 - I've now found out information regarding a trainz-build 3.8, which from what I've gathered is Trainz Simulator 2 Mac (the second version/sequel of Trainz Mac)

3.8 is being used for ipad as well. See description in kuid100003.

Wondering if everything else being 3.8 could mean a final patch for TS12 may be appearing shortly?

[73129]

Updated

[73129]

I have added existing life-cycle Support cut off dates for everything that is theoretically "in date". Any probs please let me know.

[73129]

List updated with more New Era builds.

[Marky7890]

Updated Life Cyles and Added TANE SP2 and TMR2017.

[clam1952]

Life cycle has been amended and TANE extended until Sept 2020. http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/inde ... cle_Policy

Suggest people read the FAQ re unsupported uploads.

A nice gesture from N3V? I suspect there might have been a huge slanging match to say the least if they had simply abandoned T:ANE without fulfilling their promises (but then again, haven't they done that before? )

Cheers

Dave

[Marky7890]

Updated support dates and build numbers.

[JBVector]

Doesn't this need to be updated for TRS22 and trainz build 5.0?

[clam1952]

Not forgetting 5.1 for the TRS22 Plus beta.
