Asset Use between different versions of TRS

[RouteMaster53]

Hi all - I'm a noob and was wodering if it is possible to use the assets from say TRS 2009 in TRS 2006 or vice versa - just wanting to save time from waiting to use DLS - sometimes it can take a while to download.

thx in advance

TRS2006 items should work in TS2009. All of the Builtins should be in the newer one already.
TS2009 items and some included from Classics probably need changes to work in TRS2006 since items from the first two may use new standards TRS2006 doesn't have.

Oh I see - ok what about a route that was created in TRS2006 how can i get that into TRS2009? cant even find it in the TRS2006 folder on my HDD??

appreciate any info -----thx

If you just want one route, there are multiple ways:
1. Use Content Manager to save the route to a .cdp file (or archive) and import that using the TS2009 Content Manager.
2. Open the route for edit in Content Manager and use the TS2009 Import Content menu item (assuming it has it) and point it at the route folder inside the TS2006 Editing folder.

If you want to import everything you added to TS2006 (either via download or by creating it) then use the TS2009 Import Content menu item and point it at the TS2006 Local folder. Then go find something else to do 'cause that'll take a long time I'm sure.

With some of these methods you may need to manually commit the items after they've been imported, check the Open for Edit tab. (Launching Trainz from CMP might also commit the items.)

Little note: You might need to use Compatibility mode in TS2009 to get everything to show up. Not sure how good it's error checking is compared to TS2006, but I assume it's a bit stricter so some items might show up as faulty and not work in native mode. Though I think Compatibility mode may be the default in TS2009?
