In a software family of releases that have evolved over twenty years (and counting) there have been a few interface changes modifying the user Look, See, and Feel experience, to say the least. In truth, Trainz menu organization and screen presentations evolution in light of that huge period were remarkably stable; nearly static ignoring graphical wrappers and allowing equivalence for differing hyperlinks behind the buttons. Those too drifted a bit with different anchoring institutions and websites backing the specific applicable Trainz releases, these leading to updated and differing webpages for each generation customized to it's tech and of course, the superficial (albeit, noticeable—but unimportant) graphical window dressing changes such as color and button/link placement (and names).

Basically the same arrangements and button actions/effects established in 1999's Trainz 0.9 Beta release held steady until the TS2009 main menu incorporated linking to main page of the new TrainzOnline Wiki. The most major operational change after Trainz 1.3 TS2010 changed the loader menus style and operations offered the user. was updated by SP4 converted the last TS09 to almost full compatibility and featured Menus presented by TS10 and TS12.

Trainz's Driver Menus
[edit | edit source]Trainz Driver Menus are entered from the Main Menu and are in the TRS-era/JET2 based graphics engine releases nearly identical looking to the Surveyor Menu of the install, but selected using a different Windows button and mouse-click giving the selections a read-only protection, and eliminating any routes which do not have default sessions assigned to them.
