Confused about dls in September

I was wondering if I'm able to access 2004 download through trs 2010, can you run trs 2004 routes, cars, locos... on 2010?
 
Yes, it can run older content. Some content will flag with errors and you will need PEV's software to fix them. Most can be fixed, the ones that can't should work alright in compatibility mode.

I guess that may be the way to go if you want to guarantee to have access to all 04/06 content (kinda wish it wouldn't be that way) is by running the content on 2010. Although I do like the idea of an exchange sight/ gateway...
 
I still don't understand their reasoning for this. Is this simply Auran's way of "promoting" their product? Sorry, but if you people would actually come up with something new and innovative, I might actually buy a new release of Trainz. So far, every release has been a "patch" to an extremely outdated engine, tossed in with a couple of new Surveyor utilities and features.

You guys at Auran must be thanking your lucky stars that MSTSX was cancelled.
 
Most of this topic and debate has already been covered in at least 3 different huge threads.

The reason why the 04/06 DLS is going to be unsupported is: The cost of maintaining the (3)...Auran 04 (Black Pages DLS), the 06 Game DLS, and the 09/10 DLS. Requiring 3 banks of separate servers. And too, many of the creators in 04/06 have made typo errors and mistakes in the config files, and many assets no longer work, or have irrepairable missing dependencies. And too, the idiocy of creators naming assets with foriegn language, and names that do not describe the asset at all, and have no thumbnail picture at all. Example: "Koleje_Drevo", "Extremente Voie", Paintshed Reskin, or "People"...etc...etc...

The main point...Download your assets while you can...before September...there is no debate...Git Er' Done !

Buy a 6 month FCT and: "Git Er' Done" faster ! Your choice: 3.75kbs...or 375kbs download speed.

I downloaded 17.6Gb of assets on a 7 day FCT...I now have every car and loco known to US & Canada. (Of course my PC is almost locked up now...I wonder why). My Auran program measures 37.8Gb:hehe:

EDIT: An apology to foriegn language users, but English IS the major global language, that should be a learned as a second lanquage to all non-English speaking Countries, or you will be left by the wayside. It doesn't make much sence to upload an asset to a Global community, with a non-descript asset description of: " تبديل آلة كهربائية "
Ocemy is an extemely learned man, with great talent, and he even provided an English translation page (until the Chinese National Government stepped in, and shut down his site).

Kind of harsh there Cascade. I'm sure English is foreign to those creators.:)

Whatever they decide to do, there's nothing left but to upgrade or move on. I'll be staying with my chosen version until something better comes along. Not counting Trainz out but not going to reload 09 just for the DLS. I have TC 1 & 2 so will be good for a while. Kind of useless though, I have everything I may need from the DLS and with nothing new going up I could use, no reason to stay around here.

I hope they reverse the decision, if only to keep content here and properly checked for the new comers. If third party sites take off it could keep the error problem going and affect the new guys.

Oh well, it is what it is. I have plenty to keep me entertained for a very long time. Open Rails is shaping up nicely and my time is split between MSTS and Trainz. Might take another run at the route editor in there.

My gaming computer never goes on line (don't get bogged with anti virus that way) so it's been a while. The options are in the settings pop up under miscellaneous i believe.

Dave......

I went looking for a way to shut off the CMP, but I couldn't find one. Does anybody know how to shut the CMP off?
 
In CMP, click file and then Settings.
In the miscellaneous tab there should be an option that says something like "suppress update database on start up". Tick that box and CMP won't try and call home when you start it. I don't have 06 loaded anymore but that is how it is with TC.

I hate to say this, but there nothing like that. I have disable sounds, confirm deletes, suppress asset warning, there are some options for committing. That's about it. I looked all over and there is no option that I can find to shut off the CMP from contacting the DL Station. This can be a BIG problem for anybody using TRS2006 come September.
 
Been awhile since I've had 06 loaded. I was taking a stab at it as it was. I did do this in 06 just can't remember off hand how. Keep looking, it's there.

Just remove your login details from CMP, then it cannot contact anyone.

Not sure why you are trying, your sig proclaims your retirement from Trainz. :eek:

IKB.
 
Have Auran said anything about the continuation of FTP access after September (assuming we do own registered copies of 09 or 10)? I would like to assume that if FTP is still available the use of FTP-based programs like Trainz Downloader Pro would still be possible. As we keep trying to remind Auran, some of us do not want to connect our game machines to the Internet...
