Trainz Simulator 2 4+

I really love this game because not only am I able to drive trains, but I am able to edit routes like “City and Country USA” in my own image, as well as get new stuff from the new routes, and or sessions I downloaded, and being able to create my own sessions.

However 1 absolute major issue I am suffering through I that on some what of a (one could say) semi-annual basis, this app freezes on me indefinitely when ever a session I created is being loaded for me to play or when the downloading of a new session and/or route is completed be yet to be installed, often leaving me no choice but to delete the app, and then re-download it, and while there are some routes that probably will not edit again, the “City and Country-USA” one I have redo my hard work on all over again. Today I had to do it again on deleting the app and re-downloading it and all except now no matter how many times I try to re-download any of those sessions, or how long I wait for, they are not re-downloading. This issue has been plague me for years and I am getting and I am getting tired of it. I love this app. If this 1 issue can be resolved (permanently, preferably), I beg of you, please do so, as soon as possible? Thank you.

Have enjoyed playing with trains since I was a young boy. I once lived near a set of railroad tracks in a small town named Bradford, in Ohio. Had lots of steam engines go rumbling thru our town as diesel locomotives weren’t developed at that time and put to use. Steam engines were the name of the game back in 1947.
I asked Santa, one year, for an electric train, for Christmas. He granted my wish and Boy was I a happy kid. It was a Lionel (diesel) freight train. (Had the three rail track). It had an oval track that would just fit on a 4x8 sheet of ply wood. That was my first electric train.
When I got a bit older I begin noticing the HO scale trains. That was the right size for me. Not too big to take up a lot of room nor too little to be able to play with. In time I became a fan of the HO scale. To date I have numerous rail cars and track, plus a couple of engines but no place to try and set any of it up due to lack of space, (am retired now with plenty of time to take up railroading but no room to set it up).
So, I play Train Driver on my I pad, some times for hours, which is good enough for me. I can create different types of trains, to suit my fancy. It’s the best I can do, for now. Some day.....

This game is...alright. It’s a good continuation of the popular Trainz Simulator game series for PC and Mac. But there are a few things that I would improve. One for example, is the download station. It is gods, I’ll say. The problem I have is that the game has no content manager, or way to download third party content from websites. I know that you can’t always trust those websites, it’s just so annoying. Minecraft has been around for what, 10 years after the FIRST Trainz game was released, and the mobile version of THAT has way more functionality than this. You can even install mods and maps from other people. Why can’t this game have that simple feature. Another one is the Auran Planet account. I know, I shouldn’t call it that, since that’s it’s old name, but I’m still frustrated. There is no way to login with an existing account, and you have to make a new account. That is hard for me. Anyway, I hope this review is helpful for people who play the game, or are wondering about if they should by this, and I hope it’s helpful for N3V Games so they can fix this game, even though the last update was 5 years ago, and they don’t even focus on this game anymore, but still the PC and Mac versions. Alright, I’ll shut up with my ranting and say goodbye. Goodbye!
