Starting Trainz for the First Time

When you start Trainz for the first time, there are a few steps that you will need to complete before you can start driving.

Performance Configurator

The first thing you will see is the Performance Configurator. The preset Performance Configurator options allow you to choose the best settings for your hardware specification. If you want to benchmark your hardware against other users, please visit our Help:Performance Configurator page.

Launcher Screen

After the Performance Configurator, you will see the Launcher Screen appear. This is your main page to access the various functions of Trainz.

See TRS19 Launcher for information on using the Launcher Screen.

Signing into MyTrainz

Before you can start Trainz, you must first enter your MyTrainz account details into Trainz.

On the Launcher Screen, click Trainz Settings, which will open the Settings window.

Starting Trainz!

Installing TANE Content and DLC into TRS19

All the TANE built-in, Deluxe and Platinum content, as well as your TMR2017 routes and TANE DLC items can all be downloaded in-game. Just log in to TRS19, and download the assets that appear in the Asset Download window. For more help, please check In-game Downloading.

You cannot install Built-in or DLC content (e.g. From TS12, TANE etc) using Content Manager or manually copying files. You must download the new packages for TRS19 using the in-game Asset Download window.


Installing Locally Modified into TRS19

All your files downloaded from the Trainz DLS, from 3rd party sites or created by you in Trainz can be imported into TRS19. For guidance with this process, please check Importing Content.

You must not set TRS19 to use the LocalData folder for Trainz: A New Era or any other version of Trainz. Doing so can cause Trainz to become unstable, or cease to function correctly, and may damage any content in the LocalData folder.

What's new in TRS19

TRS19 introduces many new features or changes to Trainz. Many of the new menus and features can be found on the TRS19 Home Page
