In the Kickstarter campaign, N3V Games offered a 'offline' version that would never require going online unless the user wanted to take advantage of any online features.

This version has a check-box shown below . Simply uncheck the box to allow entry of your MyTrainz username and password to allow access to the DLS, multiplayer, chat etc. Note that you should shut down the game after changing your online settings and RESTART in order to enable or disable the online features.

While the box is checked, you will not be able to:

OS X Yosemite Simulator remix by ellistomas; Mac OS X Sierra (10.12.0) by -Apple-Inc; Mac OS X 10.7 by PigVenomPV; OS X Yosemite X Kirby Simulator by honnybean; Mac OS Simulator by ownh; What a mac does. By Youtuberfan153; OS X Yosemite Simulator remix by ZAWSZEANONIM; OS X El Capitan Simulator 2 by Jethrochannz; OS X Yosemite Simulator. Fixed a case where copy/paste would not work on Mac OS X where invalid UTF8 characters are present in the source text. Fixed a case where procedural junctions could trigger a crash during shutdown. Optimised SpeedTree to avoid passing high-detail geometry data to the engine until the tree in question is getting close to its transition point.

  • enter your MyTrainz Username and password
  • view any 'new' Download Station listings
  • download from the DLS (anerror such as; - Unable to search asset <kuid:252271:301>. Unable to contact server. will appear)
  • see or participate in multiplayer sessions
  • see or participate in Trainz chat

You will be able to check for online updates and installing any game updates will not change your build from the 'offline' mode.

  • Improve the performance of World.GetSurveyorSavedConsist() by short-cutting certain operations.
  • While validating assets, we now consider reading the whole tzarc into memory for faster file access.
  • Fixed a case where copy/paste would not work on Mac OS X where invalid UTF8 characters are present in the source text.

  • Optimised SpeedTree to avoid passing high-detail geometry data to the engine until the tree in question is getting close to its transition point.
  • Updated the Content List window, Task window, and TANE Log window to use modern UI standards for multiselection.
  • Prevent the ground from appearing transparent when the necessary texture asset is missing.
  • Added 'dependencies' and 'dependents' filters for asset searching.
  • Implemented full multithreaded script compilation.
  • Removed validation of spline preview mesh, since this is no longer used in T:ANE.
  • While the database repair is scanning folders, we now increment the counter per folder scanned rather than per change detected. Although less meaningful, this makes it more clear that the process is proceeding correctly.
  • Added protection against material/chunk count mismatch.
  • Reduce stalling of the user interface when attempting to open a game window while the database is busy.

  • Added missing support for texture wrap/clamp controls in texture.txt files.
  • Added support for LM.txt ':cull', 'attachmentCutOff', 'renderCutOff' mechanisms.
  • Prevent validation complaining about missing texture files when the asset is open for editing.

  • Prevent a crash which could occur when scripts attempted to manipulate the menubar in cases where there was no menubar.
  • We now prevent scripts from displaying gamebrowsers when there is no menu bar, because it tends to be annoying and unwanted.

  • Added a warning if the user attempts to open many Explorer windows simultaneously.
  • Fixed the centering of traincars in the Asset Preview window.
  • Added some new Stitched Mesh Debug window contextual menu commands.
  • Disabled rendering of junction overlays and similar systems while no data is present, to avoid interfering with the Asset Preview stats.
  • Don't consider meshes as contributing to LOD totals unless they are set as auto-create.
  • Fixed a case where all track vertices were incorrectly considered junctions for the purposes of superelevation banking junction avoidance.
