IF I install My Trainz+ on my laptop using the same Username, will all my routes which are on my Desktop be on my Laptop , or will I have to transfer them.??

Thanks for your reply....You will have to transfer them
Navigate to C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\N3V Games open the trsxx folder or Tane if you have Tane. Then open the build xxxxxxx folder.
Back up the following folders
Local
Original
Packages
Best to back these up using WinRar or WinZip but don't use the normal standard .Zip file option. Once you have backed up in a .rar file or 7zip file whichever you prefer.
You can then extract using either WinRar or WinZip to the same destination inside the build xxxxxxxx folder, launch Trainz, click on Developer then Rebuild Database.
Log into Trainz before running the game
Edit: If you build routes and sessions ideal to back up the 'Backup' and 'Editing' folders, if you have anything within them.
it would not only have to update , but also do a update database as well , when finished copying.I don`t think so, but a little script that chooses which directory based on modification time ought to do the trick. Got any scripting languages available that are up to the task?
Sounds like the best IDEA so far.....With my laptop being a secondary device, I used to set up a duplicate of my desktop Trainz data-folder on it. When I came time to transfer the data back to the desktop, I would sort the data by date in Content Manager on the laptop and then export any new content to CDPs and copy those over the desktop via a network share and then import the content into the desktop copy.
When the data was imported, I submitted any data and overwrote the copy on the desktop since I already had backups of that version of the route and session prior to working on it on the laptop.
This is a KISS method without relying on some backup software to do the same thing because I managed the process myself and knew exactly what files I copied over and where. The CDP copy of the route and session also served as an interim backup too.
I really wouldn't know how to answer this question! Glad someone else helpedany easier way of keeping up to date, besides copying folders between computers.?
You mean 'content-archive.cdp isn't helpful? </snark>It would be nice if Trainz would tell you what pack the item was from when Trainz tell you it is packaged.
