Trainz/Trainz Simulator 2009: World Builder Edition

 * TS2009's Driver menu is styled as a recognizable variant of that introduced in Trainz UTC. This version has no scenarios installed, so the Scenario button is missing (compare to TRS2004's for example) with it's similar layout that went a decade with little in major changes to the look-see-and-feel of the menus. TS2010 and all other N3V menu's after have a very different layout.]]

Trainz Simulator 2009: World Builder Edition is the first Trainz fully developed with significant changes by N3V Games. It introduced a new data model and imposed stricter fault testing standards for assets. It was actually co-developed along with TS2010, when the full panoply of promised improvements proved too tough a nut to crack in the time period allowed, so served as a bridge version, incorporating important and useful technology changes, such as allowing Trainz to exploit the newer multi-core CPU's (when present) yet initially falling short of the eventual capabilities of the eventual TS2010-SP4; such that even up to service pack 3, it was sort of a superior TRS2006 with a different skin. TS2009 also had a fourth service pack, and excepting the two Beta trial hotfixes available only on TS2010, the 'base' twin and final fourth service packs have the same technology built-in, but TS2010 has more built-in contentPer former N3V Versions manager, James Moody by email Q&A with editor Fabartus, October 2014 The first four of eight JA files in TS2010 are 15-25% larger, mainly due to internationalization translations, but are the same JA's as the (only) four in TS2009. These in fact were a re-release of upgraded TRS2006 and the TC1&2 spin-off, including European routes not part of either North American release. The remaining four JA's in TS2010 are the all new content, excepting the updated TC3 content which was also in the last four JA files of TS10.
