TransDem and TrainzMac

#1 Post by Dralex »

Hello!

Will there ever be a TransDem version for the TrainzMac? Recently I decided to switch to a MacMini, and Trainz itself runs like charm, although on TS2010 level, with its built-in routes. While I don't need it often, I would have to ask somebody to do it for me and send me the resulting .cdp of the raw work. Or I look for a ready-made map. I believe that Fishlipsatwork has done some, but I might want a different area (Austrian).
The problem will probably be that one needs a Mac to do this conversion. However, I would be glad to be the guinea pig for testing.

Greetings,
Dralex

I'm afraid there won't. Their only product I ever worked with had been an Apple II in the early 1980s, quite a versatile machine at that time, with its open hard- and software architecture, even more versatile with a third party Z80 expansion card. The only thing in common with Apple's current line of lifestyle products is that both are driven by a CPU. Other than that, target market or company attitude and culture are so totally different today that an old-fashioned IT-pro like me can find nothing attractive in casting even a quick glimpse at whatever they offer for developers.

Dralex,

I am a Mac user, and have MacTrainz. I also use geophil's tool on my Mac via Parallels. If you want to you can always use a virtual machine to create a DEM.
