Downloading content via DLS

[pelti_s]

I am currently using Trainz 2009.
I have recently been downloading new trains, station etc successfully via DLS.
However some vehicle and stations are downloading without error but when displayed are pitch black or in the case of the stations just a black block with tracks (tracks look normal).
Can anyone advise me what is happening here and what I can do to resolve this.

Thanks!

My first thought is to try tweaking the visual settings between native & non-native mode, and between openGL and directx.

Have a look at the assets involved using content manager, and see if any warnings/errors are mentioned there. Sometimes an asset will look just fine until it's been committed to the game, then the error messages will start to show.

If you've already figured that and are still having an issue, give us an example of an asset that's not looking right and we'll take it from there.

Peace,

This is a common issue.

What you are seeing is a texture compression error.

Follow the following instructions to fix this issue. Note that some assets do not always respond to the fix, and may need reinstalling.
