1. I think it’s the switches that make the trains derail.
2. You can straighten the road. You just need to click on “straighten spline” on the track menu. The road spline is in the “spline” section in the “objects” menu.
3. You can change the haze in the options settings when you click on the game icon on your desktop. Just lower the “good weather fog” in surveyor, and driver in the menu. This is NOT in the game, but in the menu before you play.
4. The railroad crossings in this game are in the objects menu.
5. You can change from realistic mode to DCC mode in the settings when viewing routes. You can also enable and disable autopiloting on trains.
Here’s something that I’d hate to brag about:
I actually managed to get UTC, TRS2004, TRS2006, TRS2009WBE, TRS2010EE, and TRS2012. I got Trainz 2012 off of steam, 2009 and 2010 in a 2-pack, and an extremely dated 3 CD-ROM disk collection named Trainz: The Complete Collection. The 3-pack contains 2006, 2004, and UTC. I don’t plan on getting 2019 or A New Era, because I like it simple.

3:55 That's because Ultimate Trainz Collection never came with free roaming camera. That wasn't a thing until Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 became a thing. The closest thing you can get to watching a train go by at a static perspective would be pressing F2 to view the junction at a static display, and pressing 3 for some camera views which may have a static perspective.

2:45 don’t worry all you have to do is buy trains 2004 or any later version like I did
(Edit) 4:02 also, don’t worry, just do the same thing
(Again) 5:54 for that you just have to place extra splines
(Same) 6:23 this, you have to place the crossing down like an object
6:47 get a newer version just like the first too 4:49 it also helps with this too
10:37 don’t worry it is at least as far as I’ve seen on this website

2019 lacked content at the time. Content wise and editor wise, Trainz a new era is still your best choice atm overall.

0:36 when that image came up on screen i instantly has nostalgia, i had been searching for that game for YEARS

[the_autism_express]

I wish that the mobile version of trainz had as wide of a selection of engines and rolling stock as this. But at least it has a single steam locomotive

[doanster]

Loved this game. Thanks for bringing back old memories.

Also, the quick test mode wasn't a thing until the 4th Service Pack for Trainz 2004 came out in January 2005.

jesus christ, the grammar in this comment section is out of this world

5:13 I’d say that your statement is contradicted by the new Trainz 2022 release. The new surveyor has a lot more complexity to it.

[shanestrains]

Hey man, I really enjoyed this review. This version of the game seems to be really really buggy compared to the newer ones that have been released recently. I think you'd be happy with Trainz: A New Era. I subscribed to your channel.

[TankEngine]

Cool, the main reason why I like Trainz is because most if not all trains are real and it's a fun game, also if you want steam engines you should get the newer titles like Trainz 12 and TANE(Trainz A New Era) or download some trains in the DLS or any other Trainz train site (there's not really that much for UTC)

[TrainsForNSWVlogs]

9:50 On newer versions eg. 2009 on the top left corner there is a licture of a conducter. Click on it and then you get to test the map!

[Wasplin_Official]

Trainz a new era is way more convenient and most of your "annoyances" will be gone

[kaseyleitchnextgen]

We’ve never seen the all the trains in this game yet. They never showed us the entire railyard!

[kaseyleitchnextgen]

“Distinct lack of steam engines” could definitely be fixed by using the DLS.

Trainz A New Era is on sale for $2 on Steam

[thevideocamman]

in later versions. you can test your maps

[mrmilesplotagon]

I think I first heard of trainz at the age of 3 or 4 maybe from watching the videos of the game on YouTube but my first game as a little boy was train driver journeys which is the same thing as trainz but for mobile devices even though at the time we had trainz driver for mobile devices as well
