Ultimate Trainz Collection Screens #2

23rd October 2002 We're pleased to announce that the Ultimate Trainz Collection "gold master" disks were shipped off today for production. Ultimate Trainz delivers new scenarios, new content, a new look and a host of new features. Of course, it also includes the full edition of Trainz Paint Shed which now boasts almost 400 loco reskins and over 500 rolling stock items available for download from the Trainz Download Station (http://www.auran.com/trainz/downloadst.htm). UTC also introduces Trainz eXchange, a new mini-browser that sits within Trainz itself and offers a window to new content, news, reviews and more. Utilising an automated search, download and install function, it is now possible to download all the missing custom contents for a route or layout with just a couple of mouse clicks. Ultimate Trainz searches your Trainz directories, identifies which custom objects you already have installed and offers you the option to download the remainder. The items are then downloaded and installed automatically. In a similar fashion, you can download a new loco and place it on the rails without even leaving Trainz. Other exciting new features include the new in-cab cameras which allow you full freedom to move around the cabin. Check out the latest movie (http://www.auran.com/trainz/moviez.htm) which shows the SW7 switcher in action, with in-game footage from one of the new scenarios "Blue Sky Steel". Also, visit the Screenshotz page (http://www.auran.com/trainz/screenshotz.htm) for four new UTC shots. The full list of content has been added to the UTC page (http://www.auran.com/trainz/ultimate.htm), including the full feature set and list of improvements. All registered Trainz and Paint Shed owners (i.e. people who have added their Trainz or Paint Shed serial numbers to their Planet Auran Profile) will receive their 22.5% or 45% discount vouchers tomorrow. These discount vouchers will be added to your Planet Auran profile and can then be used at any time up until November 30, 2002 when purchasing the Ultimate Trainz Collection. You will also receive 3 months free membership for the new First Class Ticket download service which commences in mid-November. Simply visit the Auran Shop (http://www.auran.com/trainz/shop.htm) from tomorrow onwards (October 24th, 2002) to make your purchase and apply your discount voucher when checking out. Fax and mail order purchases can also be made using the form available from the Shop page - please read the instructions carefully. If you don't already own Trainz, the full purchase price for UTC is AUD$89.95 which is approximately USD$49.95. Ask the existing Trainz community, and they'll tell you this equates to about 10cents per hour of enjoyment :) We expect to commence shipping in early November and delivery times to the US and Europe range from a few days to 2-3 weeks, depending on your location.
