Trainz A New Era SP2 (TANE SP2) is the latest and best ever version of Trainz. With an all new graphics engine, TANE takes advantage of the latest hardware technology and brings new levels of realism and visual "eye candy". And the brand new Service Pack 2 version delivers 2 full years of updates, improvements, enhancements and fixes.
Based upon 15 years of developing the world's favorite railroad simulator, TANE has more features, and more content than ever before. Over 95% of older Trainz content is compatible with TANE meaning you can import your routes from any previous version.*
Trainz is much more than a driving simulator. You can set up your own complex operations involving interactive industries and dozens of trains utilizing "Artificial Intelligence" drivers and a range of custom scripted driver commands such as Drive To, Couple To, Load, Unload etc.
Carry out passenger or freight runs, interact with industires, shunt the yard, drive in-cab or flay overhead, set up your camera tripod trackside or find an even wider variety of operational options when you climb on board.
The Surveyor world editing tools included are the exact same tools used to create the built-in content you can enjoy from the moment you install. You can lay track, sculpt terrain, lay down vast forests, create lakes, towns, streetscapes and much much more. And then of course you can create your own custom session with one train or literally dozens and dozens of trains operatin all at one time under your control.
