CHANGING COMPUTER

I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY OLD COMPUTER INCLUDING ONLY 2MB OF MEMORY. I got a new computer with 6MB and used a direct connection for all my files. The TRAINZ program is telling me that my assests are stale 47772 when I was at 49960 at the time I converted. Now I'm being forced to sit and watch items that I found I had on my computer along with data for other countries. Why is this occurring. Also how to get rid of everything other than U.K. and U.S.?

Don,

... <snippage> ... I got a new computer with 6MB and used a direct connection for all my files. The TRAINZ program is telling me that my assests are stale 47772 when I was at 49960 at the time I converted. ... <snippage> ...

I don't understand all I know about this; acording to the page at <http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php5/Trainz_build_versions>, 49922 was a TS12 patch, and 49933 and 49938 were TS 10 patches, but there has never been a patch released with build number 49960.

That sounds like a content version number, which is different from the build number (and usually stays the same unless altered by a patch).

Doing a search using the build number 49960 give no results, neither content, or code, relevant to Trainz that I could see.

Content versions are not shown on N3V pages unless it's DLC related. I happen to know it's that based on experience, and that's why I tell people to use the number on the Launcher not the one in Trainz Options.

Some say that to install Trainz, outside of C:ProgramFiles, is proper, as this avoids the UAC warning notices.

I would install everything you have ... as your PC has more than enough room for all US, AU and UK assets (you will never even know that they are there ... cluttering up your Trainz file ("Local" I believe) ?

Some of those foriegn country files are "Built In" assets, and deleting them will break some "Built In" routes.

I have a 2Gb Integrated Graphics Toshiba Satellite 105 that, plays TRS2006 very well (some choppyness of framerates).

Higher versions of Trainz will not play on my 2Gb Integrated Graphics laptop, as Trainz really likes a dedicated video card.

If you are bothered by all the foriegn country assets, I would delete them one at a time, checking that they are not "Built In" assets (it will take years) ... lol !

With my 2Gb Integrated Graphics laptop and, I downloaded every asset known to mankind, and my "Local" file in TRS2006 had hundereds of thousands of US assets ... and my disc was almost full ... causing my cheepo laptop to lag ... not to mention my Trainz "Railyard" scroll down list was never ending.

A 6Gb laptop is huge (enough to hold the contents of the Library of Congress).

I think Trainz will only use 2Gb-3Gb and possibly 4Gb maxed.
