Help w/ 2006 SP1

[saintjimmy]

Hy everyone!

I recently d/l'd the service pack for Trainz 2006, and noticed sonethings different. (Read the following problems experienced)

1.)The main thing missing is the Driver selection in Driver mode (where you switch locos/cabs on the left of the screen). I've gotten used to it, but I sorta miss it.
2.)I believe this is kinda related to #1, but when I start Driver, any route with any loco, the thing starts with being on the #2 view on some invisible object out between abyss and oblivion, with not so much as a baseboard in sight!
3.)Another thing I found was that I lost all of my saved consists! (I had less than 10 custom, but I did notice)
4.)Also, when I'm in Surveyor, when I go to edit the session, none of the selections are available!
5.)What's time? Seriously! Time is FROZEN at noon, no matter what the time was (like on a nighttime scenario before, time is now at 12:00pm!)

Anyone else experience these things? Any tips? I was thinking about reinstalling, or removing the service pack.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Reinstalling the service pack may well fix these issues. It has been discussed on the forum before.

Yours is a common problem. SP1 must be installed onto a fresh installation of TRS2006 that has not been run.

In short:- save assets-delete Trainz-install Trainz-install SPI off hard disk-reinstall assets.

There are instructions that tell you in more detail what to do. A forum search will find them.

There is no short cut, you have to do it this way.

Thanks people!

So I just copy my local folder to somewhere outside the Trainz folder, then uninstall Trainz 06, then reinstall Trainz, then reinstall SP1 (w/o playing before), then retrieve my assets?

If so, then the hardest part will be copying my local!

Thanks for clearing the air!

That's right!

That's right!

Thanks for the help! Hopefully service pack works this time!

I just finished moving my content back over, I started Trainz, and everything is back the way it should be: none of the above stuff occuring, and with service pack installed!

Thanks again for the help!
