How to play?

[guerranico2000]

I would like to buy trainz, because I play transport fever 2 but the only problem is the limitation of the size of the map, so I ask you since I don't know trainz if the game is similar. Do I create cities and transport people and goods? I have money like in transport fever 2? Is it like running a business?

Trainz is a lot different to TF2. We can drive real-world routes or fictional or even model layout maps, some routes feature the ability to drive other vehicles such as planes, helicopters, cars, bikes, trucks, buses, boats or ships depending of the route not all feature this exciting feature but it can certainly be added to existing routes

Trainz also features a route builder called "Surveyor" which allows you to create or edit routes, You can also use Surveyor to create your own sessions or edit sessions. The ability to merge routes is handy

Surveyor 2.0 is a new version of Surveyor, this only comes with a Trainz Plus Subscription with TRS22/TRS22 PE and TRS22PE without a subscription

There are a lot of freeware routes and trains available on the Download Station "DLS" Trainz will come with a 30 day First Class Ticket "FCT" upon purchase you will need to create a Trainz to activate your FCT and be able to download content from the DLS

Trainz also have payware content available that can be purchased via either the Trainz Store or Steam

I hope this information is helpful, there are also tutorials available on creating content for Trainz if you get stuck the Trainz forums has users who has been there for over 10 years with excellent experiences

Umm where those "Heart symbols are" it's supposed to be First Class Ticket = F C T

If you buy Trainz 22 Platinum Edition it comes with a free 30 day First Class Ticket. You can buy more, but they won't activate until the first one expires (one first class ticket at a time)

Also Trainz has a pretty cool feature in that you can choose any of the model railroad scales for your build (G, O, HO, OO, TT, N, and Z). The one called Real Scale is a true 1:1 ratio which means 5280 feet is a true 1 mile in the sim. I have a section that is 10 miles and at 40 MPH it took just over 23 minutes to go from dead stop to the end of the route. The only other train sim I know of that is also true 1:1 is Run8.

Trainz Railroad Simulator game series is a simulator of train drivers and dispatchers. As a side effect this game can be used as a world generator, but this is neither a business game nor construction simulator such as Sim City, Transport Tycoon, Transport Fever and others.
