The strangest thing is how easily some people share your email address with an Eastern European site. Good luck to them. Ignorance is the root of many problems.

Accessing a FCT is easy for people in the developing world (North America, Western Europe, Australia, Japan, etc.), but for people in South America, Africa, and Asia, it's not so easy because a bank card or PayPal must be linked to a bank card. Have you ever wondered why the Steam gaming...

This forum has the option to follow and ignore another member. Does anyone know exactly how it works? Does ignoring mean I can't see the ignored person's posts? Or, can that person I'm ignoring see my posts on the forum?

As I've seen, Trainz uses the main diffuse texture or albedo (kind: Ground textures) to place it on the ground with the scale dial at minimum on a 10x10 meter surface. As an example, if we create a classic cobblestone texture, we have to keep in mind that in real life, a rectangular cobblestone...

Does anyone know exactly what memory reduction is? What exactly does it mean when content creators say they have more time to reduce the amount of memory their resources use? Could it be one of these? -Reducing the number of textures an object uses from 1 to a maximum of 3. -Making those...

As a demonstration of what I've said, I created a terrain texture in a few minutes with a 10 x 10 square grid, or 100 squares. When I put that terrain texture in Trainz with the scale dial at its minimum, as you can see in the image, it shows 100 squares on the Trainz grid, which is 10 x 10 meters.

With all due respect to the creator of the texture, it is poorly made or designed. If we edit the texture in Explorer, in the main albedo texture we find approximately 4 rows and 3 columns of the cement cobblestones that can be seen in the previous images, so there are 12 cement cobblestones in...

4 years ago I made a list of about 29 Trainz content sites for Thomas, some links may no longer work, but they may be useful for new fans. https://forums.auran.com/threads/trainz-websites-with-content-from-thomas.164240/post-1878690

Sorry if I made a mistake. English isn't my native language. Even with the help of Google Translate, I sometimes misspell a word in Spanish.

I don't have the route, but my advice is: 1-Find the route in the Content Organizer and open it for editing in a Windows. 2-Just to be safe, in case you make a mistake, make two copies of the root folder in another location you can easily remember. After copying, revert the route to the...

I had already tried what I said myself. If you start downloading any object and close the download window before it finishes, and later select the same object and start downloading it again, it resumes where you left off. I guess the game has a temporary download file. Try it for yourselves...

A clarification on my previous answer: the download is not automatic again when you open the Content Organizer; you have to select the object again and click download.

To answer your initial question, if you download through the Content Organizer and suddenly close the download window without having finished downloading, and also close the game, and later or perhaps hours later you go back through the Content Organizer to download the object whose download had...

I don't know if there are websites for Swiss equipment. I don't think so, but perhaps someone could provide some information. Regarding vintage electrical equipment, there's an Italian website with a lot of material, in addition to steam locomotives. It's a very interesting site, but I think...

On the German website: https://www.trainz.de/download/ there's something from Switzerland, some electric locomotives, and some freight and passenger cars. Use the search engine with the keyword: SBB.
