![]() At $200 for everything to get the Train Simulator 2014 to run, I probably would not have gone for a train simulator at all. For $40 I think I'll enjoy Trainz Simulator. I wish there was a duel scene or window option (there may be?) where I could keep the map open while running the train in the "3D" view. You were right that the graphics are not really as cartoonish as the simple game on my Android tablet. There is a lot to learn to use this game. Seems a coal train doesn't accelerate, stop, or even slow on a dime. Also married in there was the speed limit changes. It was hard to watch the scenery as a lot of effort was required to keep the steam engine at speed where every hill and dale required throttle changes. I ran one of the scenarios for over two hours to see how it worked. I got the tutorial to work after a couple of tries (a couple because of the funny english directions). The directions are written in some form of english I'm not use to and had me going in the wrong directions. Heres the link , may have to register though.ĪH, HA.I was right. I recommend heading over to the official trainz forums and checking out the MAC section and see what info can be had there. I'm not to sure on how that works for MAC users though. ![]() ![]() There is what they call the Download Station for us PC users of the game and its basically where all the users upload their created content to share. There are lots of different layouts created by others from switching too long haul freights. There are a variety of camera angles you can use from cab view, to chase view, and a few others. or simplicity to the likes of model railroad controller. As for controls wise you've got the option of running in Cab mode, with dynamic brakes, train brake, etc. Trainz Simulator Mac 2 looks to be the equivalent of Trainz 12 for PC. I haven't really been paying much attention to the project as I know without a doubt that it will be well beyond the graphics capability of my humble pc. In regards to the Trainz a New Era, I'm unsure of how the releases are going to play out. Some of the features I would like are a switch yard environment, realistic controls, aerial control views. I need to investigate the TRAINZ MAC version again and see if it would do for me. A review of their web page implies a new version (New ERA) that matches Train Simualtor 2014 for detail is in the works but is slated for a 2015 release. I don't want Train Simualtor 2014 that bad! ![]() Both versions make this $40 game cost for me between $150 and $200. The only way I can run Train Simualtor 2014 is with BOOT CAMP running the Window operating system or Parallels and the Windows Operating system. There is no MAC version of Train Simualtor 2014. But unless there is a MAC version Steam offers nothing for me. You buy it once and you can play it on both machine types and even some phone and tablet versions. WRONG! What it is is a source for buying the games which allows games which already have versions for both PC and MAC. I thought STEAM was an environment where PC games would run on a MAC. I eventually contacted STEAM to get the straight answers on using Train Simualtor 2014 on a MAC. I have learned a lot about all of this in the last few weeks. *** This thread duplicated from the O gauge forum for more responses*** Has anyone used both? If so could you give an overview of each with the understanding that I would have to run the Train Simulator 2014 in Boot camp (I think?) and buy a copy of Windows too. There is a Trainz Simulator that is MAC OS X compatible but is it at all like the Train Simulator 2014? Is it worth the money? It is an in-app-purchase application which can get expensive. I know it can be run on Boot Camp (PC emulator) but I would like only MAC OS X compatible software on my MAC if possible. But it is not clear to me if this one, Train Simulator 2014, is MAC compatible. I went to their Web page and they have a 5 HOUR (!!!) recording of Train Simulator 2014 with the Big Boy featured. They are about to move the Big Boy (4-8-8-4 articulated) to the UP steam shops in Wyoming starting tomorrow and are towing it through my area about noon.
