I downloaded Layouts Brandon bay and Brandon cove all seemed ok until I tried to open them in surveyor, I got screen saying I had no map ? I don't understand this so could someone enlighten me please.
I'm running TRS2006
Thanks

PJ, these routes were made using SP1 on TRS2006, if you aint got it installed yourself you won't be able to view any layouts from these creators I am sorry to say.

Thanks guys, not the answer I'd hoped for but ....!!!
I have tried many times to download the correct SP1 for my Trainz build but it just will not work so i'm stuck with TRS without SP1. Is there a way of knowing if the layout requires you to have SP1 before you download it ?
PJ
 
Not sure I got it from Amazon on the internet so I suppose its Just Trainz, why do you ask ? does it make a difference ?

Yes it does:o ,becuase there are different builds of trainz and different SP1 versions:eek: .The right patch for build 2773 would be 2773-3092.:)
 
Hello again PJ, you asked "Is there a way of knowing if the layout requires you to have SP1 before you download it ?" In short, I'm afraid the answer is no. There is no facility on the DLS to help us non-SP1 TRS2006 trainzers in being able to sift through layouts built by creators using SP1, AT THE MOMENT. I am personally hoping that the Auran heirarchy, may help us out in the future by implementing such a scheme, but at the moment you are on your own buddy. I will not name names, but there are a lot of clues given by forum members who are prolific route creators as to who is now using SP1 and as such I now steer well clear of their uploaded routes for TRS2006 as I know that I personally will never be able to play them, which is a huge pity, as they nearly all look excellent layouts, and the man-hours spent creating them has been somewhat wasted if not EVERBODY using TRS2006 is able to download them. Of course, there are hundreds of routes pre-SP1 on TRS2006 on the DLS and all of those for TRS2004 and UTC, which are downloadable and offer you loads of suitable alternatives.

Cheers. ex-railwayman.
 
Hi Ex
Thanks, I was afraid of that and to me its a simple job of putting in a line that says SP 1. but what do I know !!!!
Yes there are some very good non SP 1 layouts and I have downloaded quite a few, its just a shame that through no fault of mine I'm unable to enjoy the DLS in full and wasting my time downloading something I cannot use, it would be nice if this problem was addressed.

dzien, a way to find out if it's from Just Trains would be to start TRS, then on the lower right-hand corner it tells you the version and build number. Memerize the build number and show it here. Another way would be to describe the box art. Another much easier that I'm suprised no one here's posted is to tell us if if it says Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006, or Trainz Railway Simulator 2006.
 
Hi Moojgoo
Its Trainz version 2.5 build 2773. The box says " Railway Simulator "
I have been onto just flights website and got the correct version SP1 for build 2773, but no matter what I do ( and I've tried at least 6 times ) it will not download. I have follwed there instructions to the letter as I have installed Trainz on a new computer.

download or install?

What error messages does it come up with and are you trying to install it off their server?

Can you also describe the steps that you're using to install the patch?

regards

Harry
