Is it just...

Is it just me or is there a gigantic glitch in Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006 that i can not put any custom content in my game?

its just you - a more specific querie will generate more helpful replies.

Firstly - have you insatalled SP1 following EXACTLY the procedure outlined here http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=80

Secondly - are you running Vista?

1.Vista doesnt allow me to change any settings because it changes it back to default
2.yes im using vista

for Vista, make sure Trainz2006 is not installed in the Program Files directory. that should solve the custom content issue

then:
under ..\TRS2006\Bin\
for each .exe file
r-click, properties, run as administrator, OK.

that should solve the settings issue.

*slaps forhead*damn it!it IS in the progam files folder no wonder that happens

trainz2006 was never meant to adhere to the Vista security restrictions and thus you have to work around it. this is one way to do so.

oh ok now i understand why it acts up like that...any idea what folder i can put it in?

Any folder you want I have Trainz 06 and 09 in c:\Auran\xxxxxxx folder.
I install all my games out side the program files folder. Been doing that since Win98.
