“Auran, the developers of Trainz, a railroad simulator, are seeking beta testers to help them shake the bugs out of a forthcoming Mac version. ‘We are looking for committed people with the right stuff to test, test and test some more,’ said a company spokesperson in the Trainz discussion forum. Minimum system requirements for the game call for a 1GHz or faster processor, 32MB VRAM, 512MB RAM and 1024 x 768 screen resolution,” Peter Cohen reports for Macworld.

C’mon guys! The PC users in the Trainz forums are asking where are all the MacHeads?? Are we up to the challenge?
Heck, I submitted my request to beta test. If a girl can do it, so can you.
The challenge is on. They’re waiting for you.
First post? Not possible. Must be somebody else awake in the rest of the Mac World.
MDN MW: act
Sometimes I don’t think these MWs are coincidences.

What’s a railroad and why would you want to simulate one?
MW: “really”. really!
“what’s a railroad…”
just something that helps deliver food to you.
Obviously there are some deprived people who haven’t experienced railroading or riding on a train and such.
I’ve submitted my helpdesk ticket to help beta test. I’ve been waiting for this oportunity and this game. It’s about time a good train sim came to the Mac since there really hasn’t been one period.
I think my new Dualcore 20″ iMac would be a perfect test machine for a brand new game for compatability on the latest hardware.
Anybody that wants to port games for the Mac is someone I’ll help out. Sent in my request today.
I’d like to beta test it. But my Mac’s toooooo slowww.

I’m with you Macsweep. Leaves out my system too. Something tells me that current software is too bloated.

I would love to beta test trainz. How do I do it?
its either going to com in 2011 or fuck it and mess with the pc version to go on a mac. that means make any pc game mess around with it untill it works on mac. plus if they mean what they say and they dont do it, the fuck it and sue them. ok. i wanted 2 game for the mac that are on pc. (sid meiers railroads and trainz 2009 or 2010) ok bye. Z
trainz on mac thats what we need. it wont come out untill we talk to the person ingarge. and how do u get a pc game and make it work on a mac without coss over or via parrales or vmware or bootcamp and play the game without crashing hats the only thing we can do.
trainz is coming to mac finally it said Q1 of 2011 its march so its coming in april if not the problem starts over again.
i hope its exactly like 2010 edition and trainz 12 is coming out. i hope thats for mac too.
