am I getting senile

[zuluking]

Trainz has again deleted all my content and trs22 backups all failed. I have checked for virus infections and found none.
the route I was working on was Dearnby and I do not know who to blame but Trainz is very infuriation at times. Eventually a but of persuasion let me get my stuff back.
On trial at the moment is backing up all important files like purchased locos to cdp.
A big bug bear is all free payware routes leave behind screenshot of itmem uninstalled.

You're not senile at least not yet. I do question my own mental acuity some days myself!

Stuff usually doesn't get deleted unless there's something wrong with the database and even then it's pretty rare. The only time I've seen that occur is when Trainz can't find my data-folder and the program creates a default empty one with built-in content only. My issue was caused by my external hard drive enclosure being disconnected from my computer thanks to my cat that sits on my desk.

One of the things that helps is placing the database on another drive or in another location besides the users/%profile/appdata/local/N3V Games/TRS22. I not only placed my data-folder on another hard drive, I called it TRS22-PLUS_DATA. By calling the folder something other than the confusing build xxxxxxxx name and in another location, I know when things are messed up and I can correct that immediately.

Isn't getting older fun? I've been wondering about my own mental acuity lately.

I feel fortunate that John and others are willing to help when I'm not finding a solution on my own.
