Old JR content in TANE

I figure I am not the first to ask this but I guess I am being brain dead when it comes to my google foo.

I haven't been Trainz'ing for a while, I haven't seriously been into TANE yet. I am just getting back in and have installed and updated TANE to build 81296. I have a bunch of old JR content that date back a long ways for use in T2012. For example my BN SD70MAC dates back to a download date of 14/09/2011, so about 5 years.

I am not at all surprised that it didn't work when I tried to import the content, though I did try to download the latest dependencies and things.

My question is, am I wasting my time on these old assets or can they be updated?

I don't think I had to log into JR to get these back then, though I probably do still have the original receipt emails if that helps. I don't care much if they are just too old, I just don't want to spend the money again if I don't have to, I would rather by something new.

Thanks for your time.
 
Your best bet is to re download all the dependencies, various service pack fixes AND the content all over again from JR instead of importing them. If you don't have your account login details, shoot them a note and they can probably help you out. Once you are signed in, you can go to a list of all your downloadable products and get them there. Almost all the JR content I've re downloaded has worked in TANE without errors or needing small fixes. The few that don't work seem to be caused by something on my end as most people report that the items that don't work for me work fine for them.

That is good to know.

The problem with that would be at the time you didn't have to have an account to download the original files so when I log in there is nothing listed. But since I know it works I guess I can work on getting it sorted.

Thanks.
 
I'd still shoot the guys at JR an email, if you have any info like an order number or something like that, they still may be able to help you out.

I did, with all the receipt e-mails attached, and they added all the content to my account.

I am very pleased. Thanks for your input and thanks JR for the quick and helpful response.

****UPdate****

And they are all working. I found that I had to download even more dependencies, I wonder if the old downloads would have eventually worked. No matter Issue resolved the the downloads show in my account now.
