Never has there been a bigger "Service Pack" update in Trainz history than TANE SP1 and it will be finally ready for all to enjoy from Tuesday, January 12, 2016.
With a massive line up of fixes and enhancements, this is the upgrade for all Trainz fans to get their hands on! (The full list of hundreds of updates, enhancements and fixes included will be released as soon as we have time to catch our breath).
What we can tell you for now is that our Beta Tester community and "Early Access" customers have been leading a groundswell of appreciation that TANE is now close to reaching it's full potential.
Just listen to some of the community already enjoying the best version of Trainz ever.
Happy to say that the TANE Patch Installer worked perfectly and upgraded to 80276 with virtually no intervention. Another success for the Trainz crew! And what a build it is - after bringing over my routes I have been testing for a couple hours with ZERO fail. For those in the community concerned about the future, don't be. This is and will continue to be THE standard for virtual railroad world creation.

Remember the original video and target graphics. Seems the game looks better than that.

This is it! Ran "Fossil Fuels" all through to the end - runs perfect with draw distance 8000 m, shadows high. Not a jerk anywhere, smoooooooooth to quote Bob Hope! Very well done Dev Team!!!!! This is also my impression with my "polygon overloaded routes". Works tremendously well.

For all our Beta Testers and "Early Access" customers, you can get a jump start by updating to the very latest SP1 Edition - build 80330. This version is then just one small (35MB) patch away from the "Offical Release" version.
To update to 80330 if you have not already, simply open the Launcher of your TANE version build 79947 or higher, and choose the "Public Stream" option.
If your build number is below 79947, then you haven't got long to wait to experience this great new version of Trainz!
Many of the Trainz community are enjoying the built-in and 3rd party content available in TANE and are creating some truly amazing images. Here are but a few stunning and unique shots we have selected from the thousands our Trainz community has put together.
These images, as well as feedback on the latest update to the "New Era" of Trainz are proof that TANE SP1 is our best Trainz version ever! We hope every train fan has the chance to experience "SP1" and see how far we have come in 15 years!
Now had a chance to run 2 of my routes with 15,000 draw distance. Each route ran over 30 minutes with no hesitations or pauses - previous builds had these hesitations every 10 minutes or so where the sound was still there but the train hesitated about a second or so. That issue is completely gone now and the trains run very smoothly. The pre-caching has made a huge improvement, at least for me, in letting the trains just glide along. There can be no more improvement for me in this area.

Patch worked 100%, all I had to do was start Tane and the patch installer started. No CTD and have used many features in surveyor where I was having problems before, with gradients, smoothing, and rotating camera.

Looks great, performs well and appears to be another step closer to the dream of a fully functional and totally immersive railroad simulator that allows you to build the world of your dreams.

Thanks N3V and all those Beta Testers for SP1; through Build 80276, Trainz a New Era is now reaching its potential. Extremely well done all.

T:ANE is already vastly superior to TS12 IMO- we just need more T:ANE quality content to really make it shine.

As the sun sets slowly in the West, we would once again like to thank all our hundreds of testers, content creators and fans who help make Trainz the best hobby in the world!
