New Aircraft

The A10 Thunderbolt Warthog is now available on the DLS.

Please read the description in the config file for operation. While the model will operate in TRS2004, the missiles and flare operation requires inbuilt script code not available in that version. These operate in later versions of Trainz.

If this fighter needs 2006 or higher to operate to it full potental, why is it listed on the DL as version 2004. This seems to keep it out of the CM in 2009.
 
Wow, the A10 looks really quite good! Honestly, I can't wait for the Spitfires and Tiger Moths. The Spitfire would be just ten times better with a Rolls-Royce Merlin enginesound, but if you don't have it on there, no need to change it at this advanced stage of building. As if you weren't pressed for time already!;)

Happy Planezing,
Scott.
 
Lewis,

The recent aircraft models were built at the request of some friends, some only have TRS2004. If I had listed the model as TRS2006 only (build 2.5) they would have been denied the opportunity to download from the DLS and to use the model.

I am sure they are happy to have it even if a function does not work in TRS2004. For instance, all the models use a tag in the config file to suppress the click clack track sound. Again, this is only functional in TRS2006, but does not stop the model working in 2004. I did intend to add a comment in the config description, but overlooked that, the reason I explained the limitation in this thread.

I don't understand your reference to keep it out of the CM in 2009. The models are accepted by CM and CM2, I test in TS2009.

Think what Lewis is trying to say that if it tagged as a 2004 the CMP 2 will not pick it up. People seem to forget that there is more than one way to install content into trainz these Days.

They seem to forget that you can use the DLS to download and then install the CDP into 2009. Do not strees at all over that one Ian.

As to uploads not working I have found that if I use CMP to upload and tag an item for TRS2009 it works fine - if I do it the old fashion way, manual upload via planet Auran and tag the same item as 2004, remembering its only a number in the config thats diffrent, the DLS chucks a spaz over the content.

Thanks bearcat,

I use the Planet Auran option to upload to the DLS, so had not noticed any problems if uploaded through CMP. Of course, my very recent uploads had been vanishing before getting to the DLS, but that seems to have been fixed by Auran last week.

There has been a problem with CMP finding older dependencies. I downloaded a map recently, CMP showed 156 items missing, with 76 on the DLS, which I retrieved. I then searched the DLS manually using the DLS webpage and found a further 53 items that CMP failed to notice (question marks), including my own creations. It took a long time to retrieve these items via ftp.

I asked Auran about it and the reply was that it had nothing to do with them necessarily being TRS2004 or UTC, but that they were very old uploads, and at that time less info had been entered into the DLS database about the items. The latest CMP could not find links to download. They suggested that the ongoing DLS update program should hopefully fix this problem.

Since the aircraft are modern uploads, I expect CMP should have not problems with retrieving dependencies.

I know you can use the DL station. I have used it plenty to get stuff that CM2 does not seem to be able to find. The problem with that is that you have to also search out the dependences as will since it is not done automatically like in the CM2. Just seems to be very time consuming.
 
Lewis if you load the main item into CMP via it being a CDF file - once CMP has the main file it will then look on the DLS for all the missing bits - try it some time.
 
Four versions of the DH82 Tiger Moth are now available on the DLS. Here are two of them:

Hi,

For quite some time now I've used Trainz Downloader Pro:-

http://www.huijelte.com/blog/index.php/downloads/

It finds & downloads all dependencies at the same time as downloading an item from the DLS. Also saves the CDP files to an archive location of your choice. Allows you to continue perusing the DLS content whilst downloading in the background. Once you have finished a session, you then click a button & the CDP files are installed. The archived copies remain. You can also opt to install only previously uninstalled ones, or all CDP files in the archive folder. Because you can change which is that folder, it's possible to use the program to reinstall CDPs from anywhere.

An excellent program, for TRS2004 etc. :)

I down load this some time ago but never used it. I will give it a try the next time. Thanks for reminding me of it.
 
For the Tiger Moth aircraft, two of the versions list a kuid 60238:53006.

This kuid is not needed for the aircraft, it was an early engine sound file I was trying. I removed it from most of the models but it looks like I still have it listed for the VH-WRL and ZK-BRC versions of the Tiger in the kuid table.

I have uploaded corrected versions to the DLS. should be there tomorrow.

The aircraft should still operate, you can delete the enginesound kuid in the kuid table if you wish to remove the dependency requirement, or wait for the version 2 model to be available.

The correct engine sound is 60238:53008 which is already listed in the kuid table.

Sorry,
Ian

Hi,

nbrettoner - how did you manage to install Trainz Downloader Pro ? or is your PC setup that ancient that Net frameworks V1.1 is considered an upgrade ?

Most people who have Net frameworks will have the latest version I would presume (V3.5) and the installer refuses to proceed unless you upgrade it to V1.1 !!!!:confused:

Hi, sorry for bumping, but could we please have an update on aircraft progress? I haven't seen much from you on the Download Station since the Tiger Moth updates.

Happy Trainzing,;)

Hi Scott,

I have been playing with another aircraft, a Sunderland flying boat, to see where I go with the development. It operates on track 3 metres above water level.

It will load passengers, so I could use my City Cat ferry landings for that purpose. They need some corrections done, and that is an opportunity to add an extra track further away from the dock for the flying boat.

This is an Australian Ansett version, they used to fly out of Rose Bay Sydney. The model is based on an original unreleased mesh by Dreddman.

I will then decide what order I finish the models, I thought to try to do the Beaufighter over the weekend, then perhaps the Spitfires.

Thanks for the interest Scott.

Hi Ian,

Although there's probably lots of other items/things you would like to be doing, you've continued on with your pursuits in the field of airborne locos. :D

I for one (of many I think) am excited & very thankful for you continuing on this track at present. :)

You are very generous Ian to do this work, as I gather there's quite a lot of 'fiddly bits' involved in the process.

I know that once they are ready & released, there will be some pleasantly surprised people out there, when they see the excellent results you are achieving. :wave:
