What constitutes an 'existing iPad Planet Auran account'?

One that was created prior to the fix being implemented.


I am wondering whether it is for people who own another Trainz product with a serial number.

Those people have never had a problem. The problem with downloading is specific to iPad-only users.


And does one have to purchase one of these tickets to download that I have noticed reference to?

No.


There is soon going to be an unmanageable list of mediocre experiments there that people have to wade through.

We'll have to wait and see :)

kind regards,

chris

I am pleased to report that I have successfully downloaded some content, so thanks for your perseverance and patience with us newbies.
 
I have Trainz for iPad - it works good (i have buy it from iTunes).
But:
1) Can you say me how to register Trains for Mac? I have buy it from Apple App Store and can not register in Auran. Game options wants they i register new account in Auran, but i have account. Why not to add Apple App Store Trains to my account?
In Auran i not find contact e-mail that to ask, because write here. It in not possible to connect with support.
2) In game from Apple App Store there is no content and impossible to use Trainz for Mac.
 
Downloading content works for me now :)!

As for the long list of uploaded content, maybe a way to rate them and then they show in order of highest ratings. That's just an idea anyway :P.

That's an excellent idea, maybe rated both by user satisfaction and number of downloads.

I have downloaded a few routes. One of them however downloaded, or went through the motions, and then disappeared.... Don't know what happened there.
 
I tried uploading a new route but it says it failed because there was no thumbnail found. Are we supposed to create them ourselves somehow? If so, how xD?

One of the sessions available at the moment has no corresponding route. It's a simple mistake made by the original uploader, and something we'll be trying to improve the user interface on in the future.

With the current version of Trainz Simulator iPad, they should be created with the route- however I believe that you can create a new thumbnail by using the 'edit session' menu in Surveyor.

I can't seem to find it on there :(.

In my limited experience, the route and session thumbnails are created when first saved. I have discovered it easy enough to change route thumbnails, by (1) positioning yourself when in route editing (surveyor mode) in the route where you want the new thumbnail to snapshot, (2) go to route editing from main menu and after getting the keyboard out of the way, click the set thumbnail button below the existing pic. You rename and add route info here also.

As for changing session thumbnails I haven't discovered how to do that yet:(.
 
It doesn't seem to save it and continues to show no thumbnail. I've tried editing the route and also the session, doesn't work for me on any. I clicked the 'set thumbnail' and it came up in the box, but after saving and then exiting its no longer there :(.

It sounds like your route file may have got corrupted somehow. Has it created an autobackup copy of the route. You could try duplicating the route and see if that is the same. Or merging it with another simple route, maybe.

Did you upgrade to v. 1.1.1? Mine was doing very strange things before I did that. Unfortunately it means deleting your present copy with all its routes as they have not made any facility to store routes outside of the app. You could also try quitting out of Trainz completely and restarting your ipad.

I'm working on a larger route at the moment anyway, so I'll see if it works for this one :). (I am on 1.1.1).
 
Just another quick question, do the AI drivers always go at exactly half the speed limit, or can you get them to go faster (eg 3/4 of limit)? Eg on my route there's 60mph/70mph limits and the AI goes at 30mph/34mph :P.

Upgrading to 1.1.1 does not require deleting anything. Just use the App Store to install the update.

Have updated and see I can upload end users stuff. I presume like locos and carriages, custom planned routes for Driver etc. Is that the case? There seems to be only 1 or 2 in the extras section. Is there a place to get more and download them into the iPad version? i Have an iPad 2. Kudos to the developers the new lighting and weather is amazing.

I am interested to know how the speed limits are even set. Is it the type of rail used? Can they be edited?
I know that the topography gradient can alter speeds, and I suspect the consist weight.
I know one thing, the AI drivers are better at staying on the rails than I am:'(.
