Broken trains tab in T:ANE SP2 HF1

[flattenedfunnel]

So, today, I opened T:ANE, I went into quickdrive for a route, then I opened the trains tab, and there is noting there. just a loading icon. this error happens with the trains tab in surveyor too. How do I fix this?

The most common cause of this (and other similar issues) is basically incorrectly saving and/or opening your work - I am not saying that this is the cause of your problem but it would be worth looking at. For example, you have added your locos, railcars, etc into a session (via the session layers) and then next time you have loaded the route, not the session, so the trains are all missing. They are not missing, they are in a session file which is separate to but dependent upon the route.

Here is some advice I posted in answer to a similar question in another thread.

When I create a new route and save it, I give the route a distinctive name and the session a distinctive name (NOT "default"), From that point on, whether I am editing only the route material (track, trees, etc) or the session material (consists, industry properties, etc) I always load and edit the session.

If I have altered something in the route only then when I select save Trainz will ask if I want to save the route and session. I select both Overwrite existing route and Overwrite existing session because it is possible that I may have altered something in a session - in a long editing job anything is possible. This will not create a new route and session but will overwrite the previous versions with new versions.

If I have altered something in the session only then when I select save Trainz will ask me if I want to save the session (not the route). I select Overwrite existing session and only the session is updated.

Of course, if I have altered both the route and the session then I select both Overwrite existing route and Overwrite existing session.

Try the above suggestion with a small sample route and session of your creation.

Another cause is the database is being validated and the content hasn't loaded up yet. This can occur if you've recently done a database repair, either automatically due to a crash, or manually.

To verify if this is occurring:

1) Click on the Launcher,
2) Click on Settings
3) Click on the Dev tab and check Enable Advanced Debug Tools
4) Close settings

At the Launcher again:

1) Click on Developer on the menu bar
2) Click on Show Logs

What you will see is information scrolling by with lots of yellow warnings and other information. If this is ongoing and not stopping, then you'll have to wait for this to finish before your trains will appear. The issue will be the same with other content you have installed such as scenery objects, track, etc.
