Here's the scenario. I spent hours and hours modifying a route and creating a very satisfying session. All the way through, I saved my work at various intervals. However, last night, for whatever reason - it may have been a brain-fart, I saved it as a "New Route and Session" but with the...

Not experienced this in previous versions of Trainz, but in this 2022 version, on my computer, there is an appreciable time lag (about 5/6 minutes) when you click on a Portal to configure it - rather like the wait when you Edit the Session and go to Add a New Rule. I was assuming the game had...

In Surveyor, whenever I try to lay a Portal, it can be placed in position, rotated to the desired angle and track snapped into place. However, if I try to change the layer from Session Layer to Route Layer, the game freezes and the only way to exit is the time honoured "Ctrl Alt Delete" method...

Straight after the latest release install, after the Database Repair thingy had run its course, I have been prompted to re-download all my purchased content. However, I have a number of corrupted files and no matter how many times I have re-run the downloader, the same old files remain...

Within 48 hours of a Model Railway Exhibition being senselessly destroyed by four teenage vandals, people from around the world have donated £45,000 to help the hobbyists rebuild their handiwork. Sadly, one of the men is 80 years old, but at least it will help to get them up and running again...

I think it only right and proper to say how delighted I am with this latest Trainz Version. Even the older layouts and older content from older builds of Trainz seem crisper, sharper and more detailed. I'm like a dog with two tails at the moment! Thank you to the Trainz team for your...

I must be alone, but I have tried everything I possibly can and still cannot access the latest version of ECML. I managed to run ECML before by deleting it and reinstalling the stuff I had in T-ANE, but of course that was the old version. If I let the updater run, then it would overwrite the...

I have downloaded from a Dutch Train website what promises to be a wonderful route - netherlandswest 6.0 by barrie40 After emailing him for the two contents zip files, I found a whole host of missing files by a Content Creator known as "bort85". Now, when I search for these assets, I find...

When my ECML updated, I could not access it. The Content Manager shows all the required Assets as "Payware Not Active". I have completely uninstalled TRS19 and reinstalled it, ECML was fine initially. However, when I restarted it, it wanted to download the SC297 Payware Files and now I am...

For a few years now, the Download Station has been cluttered up by endless stupidity and people uploading rubbish multiple times. Have a trawl through the Routes/Layouts section - just how many copies of a "test" need to be uploaded before the author realises Auran's file upload system works...

I have build 61388 and I have a sneaking feeling that my "Surveyor" has somehow got itself corrupted. The Toolbars to the right of the screen do not show, although if the mouse hovers there you see the prompts "F5 Track", "F6 Objects" "F7 Trains" etc. If I press the appropriate Function Key...

Not wanting to get into discussions about the rights and wrongs of DRM, but can anyone tell me what the latest version of Trainz without DRM was please? All I want to do is install Trainz on an external hard drive so that I can make it truly portable so that I can run from Desktop or Laptop as...

We used to know them as the "Brew Crew" in the early days of Auran, now they are just known as "Developers" and often the subject of criticism when Trainz doesn't behave quite as we would like. At this time, I think it's appropriate to wish everyone at N3V a very Happy Christmas and remind...
