CMP Troubles.

[abarten]

I've found CMP to be at the same time great and frustrating. For the most part it works as advertised and is a great boon to downloading/installing/removing assets and looking inside their config files - even modifying the configs. There are times when CMP freezes and can take as many as four or five reboots to get TRS and CMP properly working again.

I'm still studying this beast, but have discovered that if, after a few days of non-TRS use (I have it on several machines) CMP takes too long to update its database, I just shut down Trainz and restart it. Then CMP usually updates right away. I also find that if I try poking around in CMP while it is still in its updating mode, or otherwise not fully settled with itself, I can be in for a long cycle of reboots. I can, often, still import CDPs while the updating is going on - but not always. (I usually DL CDPs to file, so I can save and label them for future reinstallation. If a particular asset, such as a locomotive or a route has lots of dependencies, I just save the main asset and let CMP DL/install the rest. It does this very well.)

Its CMP again

I will not give up using CMP, it does make editing and keeping control of content easy. BUT!! downloading is as many posts have been in the past a joke. Yesterday was one of the those days, it would start then give up and freeze. But today is different - no matter what or how much I down load it works every time, so whats changed???
I do not know - certainly nothing to do with my PC, but may be its the time of day (mid morning in the UK), may be Virgin have suddenly given me extra band width? Could it be that I have just activated a new download ticket?
There is one change on CMP that I have noticed, then I down load the speed graph now goes a solid blue whilst down loading - is this a clue????

Interesting this. CMP is behaving well for me too, and after a long period of tedious dial-up speed (with a FCT!), it now rocks along. I'd say that something's been fixed or adjusted at the server end. Nothing to do with Virgin -- I'm with BT.

New twist today - I was working on a layout update when I went into the CMP to check on an asset the layout had not been commited!
I think I may have to do a reload of the whole 2006 and see if that fixes the problems.
