Don't delete trainz from the apps. N3V are not good at labelling trainz for windows.

The old one should be easy enough. By default on a new install it will put the data file under trainz or somewhere. I normally install trainz to \N3V away from program files and the data directory under \ts22data. The defaults aren't good.Can someone please tell me how to get to the trainz directory in Windows11 because after users and my name the other directories aren't there that we used in Windows10?

App Data/local/N3V Games/TRS22/Build************
It's there but hidden, but it isn't necessary to put it there and you can rename the folder to something else such as TRS-PLUS-DATA, for example. You can then select this folder in Trainz settings and everything will work just the same. This is actually a bit easier for when you need to edit content or perform other maintenance.Ok, if the app data is not there then here is what you do. Open file explorer/ click view/ show/ hidden items and then you can access the same as before. hope this helps someone else out.
If you want to put the folder in App Data, you need to do this first.
Open Explorer.
Open This PC.
Click on C: drive.
Click on View
At the bottom, click on Show.
Click on Show Hidden Items.
If this doesn't work. I'm not sure if the option above is available if the settings are not set here.
Click on the ... to the right. This is the same view as it was in Windows 10.
Click on Options
Click on View tab
Click on Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
Click Apply to Folders at the top.
Click Appy at the bottom and then OK.

Ok guys here is what I did, so instead of making CDP file I just copied my folder under N3V to my SSD that took over three hours on my old rig and today I copied to my new rig that only took less than a half hour. So, my question is if I get rid of my first install and just keep my files that I copied over then I should be good to go. I tried it on the old rig before I made a copy, and it worked fined.
That should work. Your data-folder is all you need.Ok guys here is what I did, so instead of making CDP file I just copied my folder under N3V to my SSD that took over three hours on my old rig and today I copied to my new rig that only took less than a half hour.

Don't delete anything on the SSD in case something's missing. There's always that just-in-case factor to keep in mind. Once you're satisfied with the operations and the data has become stale on the SSD, you can clean up the drive, or repurpose it for something else.
Download the Plus installer from My Trainz.Ok, that didn't work because even though it's my data it's not showing my build number on the startup screen it's still showing the build number for the one I downloaded off Trainz my downloads, so how do I get it to show my build number?
Install that as you normally would.
At the graphics performance screen, skip that step.
Don't bother signing in because you'll have to do that again.
Once installed, start up again.
Go to Trainz settings on the Launcher.
Click on Internet tab.
Click on the ... next to the bar.
Browse to your data-folder you copied over.
Select that folder.
Trainz will restart.
You should be all set.
