downloading problems

Hi shaw1 - it might seem a silly question, but your profile doesn't tell me what version Trainz you're running. Most of them require you to download from the Download Station using Content Manager and then go to "Open For Edit" and select the files and "Commit" them before they show up in Trainz.
If you download from other places than the DLS, then you will have cdp or cdp2 files. Open Content Manager and select "File" "Import cdp" - point the browser at the folder where you downloaded them and wait while they are grabbed.
You still have to go to "Open For Edit" and "Commit" them - don't ever forget to do that!
All the best

From memory, as TRS2006 was a long time ago for me, it hs to do with the .chump files. The file "assets.tdx" or the chump files become corrupted every now and again - it happens occasionally with all Trainz versions from 2004 upwards! It's just that TC3 and TRS2009 have a natty little thing in Content Manager that repairs the database itself.
Go into your TRS2006 main folder using Explorer (default location is C:\Program Files\Auran\TRS2006)
Once there, rename the assets.tdx file to assets.bak then look for a folder called "cache".
Open the "cache" folder.
Delete the entire contents.
Now close down Explorer and double-click your TRS2006 start up icon. Your computer will rebuild the cache files itself and churn out a new assets.tdx file (it may take quite a while to do if you have a lot of downloaded content!)
However, once it has finished, your Trainz will be fine again!

hi
i am running trs2004
i can't find the files in the content manager but i have found them in windows explorer
hope this helps
thanks for posting
What file have you found them in ?
They should be in :- Auran > TRS2004 > World > Dispatcher > Downloads.
To check for kuid errors in TRS2004 you need to get TrainzObjectz (TO) which is a free download from http://www.tafweb-trainz.co.uk/downloads.html
