Searching using ContentManager

[krausyao]

I have Trainz 2009 and when I search using ContentManager it does not seem to work.

In the middle left under Search I click Clear, enter es44 and then click Apply. Only one item is found, ES44AC Horn 1-2011.

There must be more found for es44. What am I doing wrong when searching?

Heya Jeff! :wave: Nope, I get the same thing in TS2010 CM. Not sure what an ES44 is (I'm an elderly geezer who likes GP9s and Alco RS-11s) but "dash 9" turns up some Dash 9-44s.

It's a GE Evolution Series 4400 hp locomotive. Jointed Rail have some in the store (payware). Leadfoot866 has some skinned for the AWVR at http://blawnoxlocomotiveworks.blogspot.com/. I also have one by sporbust that probably came from his old site, though I'm not sure on that one. There are probably more, but those are the one's I know about.

I just checked WCT (http://esporbust.com/trs-2006-locos.html) and the ES44ACs are on the new site as well.

Heya Jim! :wave:

An ES44 is a locomotive by GE, http://www.getransportation.com/rail/rail-products/locomotives/evolutionr-series-locomotive.html

I tried some other searches and the ContentManager appears to function as intended. I was expecting that there would be some freeware locomotives of this model.

Jointed Rail does have some payware models which I may try, http://jointedrail.com/index.php?pa...tegory_id=13&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=544

I had thought that all content for Trainz was distributed through ContentManager. I don't know how to add content from another source. Looks like it is time to read the documentation for Trainz. I know how Train Simulator works but Trainz is quite different.

If not downloading from the DLS you may wish to download from where ever and place the asset into a folder on your PC. You may then use "Import content" or "Import CDP" found in the Content Manager under "File" to bring them into CM.
