Ok, Here's the deal. Currently I have 09,10, and 12 installed on my PC. This seems redundant to me and a big waste of space. 09 I rarely use anymore and the patch for it turned out terrifying results so I let it sit idle. TS10 is great but loaded with faulty content and errors and have had numerous issues since I bought it a few years back. Now there's TS12 and I haven't had a day of trouble yet (about 6 mos now). Completely error free. Plus I generally like it better. So before I take the jump and hit the uninstall button on TS09 and TS10, I want to make sure I did this right:
I want all my downloaded assets from the previous 2 versions in TS12 as well as all the 09 and 10 built-in stuff. (My favorite routes and sessions are already saved CDP's on an external hard drive and are already transferred to 12)
I went to CMP3.6 clicked file/ import content and navigated to the two auran folders marked ts2009 and ts2010, one at a time.
I didn't go into any subfolders in each game cause I don't really know what most of it means plus I didn't think I had to.[ie. cache, trash, scripts Base.ja,etc.] It took quite a while as it scanned each version, so I assume it did its thing.
I did go into the Builtin folders and copy all the .ja files and such I read in somebodys tutorial or post. That worked after a EDR.
I also have the serial # CD keys for all three versions plus other add on stuff I bought in the "Configure Trainz" list from the "Options" of the launch menu.
All the routes and sessions seem to be there in surveyor and driver safely in TS12 with no errors.
Bottom line: I want to take 3 games / versions and consolidate them into one. TS12.
The question is, Can I safely uninstall 09 and 10 now? Or are they somehow cosmically connected to TS12 and I screw everything up. ( I bring it up because if i remember correctly, TS10 is actually an add-on pack to 09, and 10 won't run without 09 installed).
Any help would be great, or if i missed a vital step, please let me know.
Clearly I am trying to simplify my life here. Thanks
