Can you use __MyTrainz>Profile>My Account__ to correct your email address? Usually when a vendor has an incorrect email address for me it is because I made a mistake entering it. Or perhaps I changed my email and neglected to update it at their site. Many years ago I had a different username...

While I was downloading a session, there was a 4 minute pause, then it resumed. I believe it was caused by heavy traffic on the ISP, but have no proof.

Wow. 3ft gauge is getting into serious railroading. I've yearned to do something in 7.25" or 15" gauge but it's not cheap. Even with those smaller sizes you need to pay strong attention to the weights of cars when dealing with grades or bridges.

The extended database repair won't work when the servers are down. But I've read that the servers are online now, so it should work today.

An extended database repair (where it compares assets with what is on the DLS) won't work if the servers are down. But a quick database repair would work without the servers. Another thought: if you do forced shutdowns via Task Manager in Windows, the database can be corrupted. (Also possible...

I'm curious why you think that you have errors because the servers were unavailable. Tane and newer versions can run just fine for nearly a month without contacting the N3V servers. Of course if you were downloading right when the outage began you might need to re-download after service is...

Just tried again with no success.

Drat, I was thinking about visiting the DLS today. I haven't tried yet, so I don't know if it is up or down.

My intro to BNSF train symbols came from web pages written by Al A Krug, a (now retired) BNSF engineer. Who usually operated from BNSF's Sheridan WY yard to MRL's yard in Laurel MT. Tales from The Krug I don't have a scanner. I'd have to drive nearly 100 miles to find decent RR action anyway...

The naming of trains on the BNSF system uses shortened versions of the towns that the train originates from and the destination. Sort of like what airlines use. I like that the BNSF train names aren't just a series of numbers that mean nothing to me. But you still have to find train names from...

In 19, I find that fuel consumption is often ignored in driver's easy mode but might work in driver's realistic mode. I didn't get to finish my testing on that topic.

Some Linux distros adopted the System-d boot software so that they would have near identical services avaliable on boot up that would be available to programs. Some distros refrained from adopting System-d as it represented a very un-unix like approach to coding as it wasn't really Open Source...

Aww, I was expecting Clarabel and Annie too. Oh well. :)

Here is a tip written earlier on the forum. It may help. https://forums.auran.com/threads/other-assets-being-deleted-while-redownloading-reverting-assets-to-run-a-multiplayer-session.181904/post-2061849 Seeing a value of 127 makes me think that somehow an 8-bit register in the cpu got maxed...

Spammers cause a certain amount of difficulty for Roland, so he tries to make it harder for them. Also, he's in Germany so his schedule is different than ours. But he will respond when he gets a chance.
