you know whats annoying?

I still want OS2 Warp to run. But I was never able to get it going on my comp. :(

Warp is pretty cool. I remember installing it for some special actuarial applications way back when I worked for a life insurance company.

You could try Oracle's Virtual Box. www.virtualbox.org

Install the Virtual Box, follow the new machine wizard, and install the operating system. It's a pretty cool way to get things to run that you can't run on modern computer hardware.

As said previousley in this post, the items available for download are made by other trainz users and not the people who have started to charge for the downloads... if there going to start charging then it's only fair that the makers of the things being downloaded get a cut of that money, it's really that simple, maybe if they could be bothered to do that then it wouldn't bother me so much
 
You're not being charged for the assets, you're being charged for the upkeep of the program which stores the assets. They are still free but they are being held.

You don't know much about web servers do you??

Keep it simple Shane, you're confusing me a bit:hehe:

Be gentle with him. It's his third post.;)
And a free broken asset is about as useless as mammary glands on a bull.:hehe:
 
Only ones with unsupported versions (this is currently Trainz Classics 1+2 and earlier) have to pay to access the Download Station - if a user buys and registers Trainz Classics 3 or later, they can restore free Download Station access untill the end-of-support date for the version they register (see http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php5/Trainz_Life-Cycle_Policy for the date(s))

There have been numerous reports from users who don't buy a FCT that downloads are "iffy" at best. I have experienced that same situation. "Free" only goes so far. :(
 
I don't see the problem. I've DL'd stacks of stuff with the CM recently without a FCT no probs. Sure, I have a cup of coffee and a 'smoke' while I'm waiting but it's still free. Nice. Jazzzzz. Smooooth...

Trolls....now they're annoying little b*ggers, you have to finish 'em off with fire.:cool:

I think the issue is relating to users who are not able or willing to buy a supported version of Trainz - the old copies are cheap for a reason (reminds me of the old saying 'you get what you pay for')

I can understand that some users have older machines that may not be able to support TS2010/12, but TS2009 may work OK on said machines, as long as SP4 has not been added (which makes TS2009 look and behave more like TS2010)

I’ve been following the thread with interest.

A couple of thought provoking comments have been made whilst doodling in Surveyor.

G'day,

The programs I had on my C64 were 99.9% typed in by myself ftom books and magazines. I used to have a lot of fun adapting very old basic programs that were writen for use with a line printer to the C64 and adding sprites, graphics, colour and movement to them.

Have a good one,
E.C.

Ah, yes, the C-64. The running joke was that it was faster to type in the code for the program you wanted to run through the keyboard than it was to to load it from the floppy drive.

What version of Trainz is causing your problem?

You alone may be the source of your problem.

You don't appear to have a registered copy of Trainz. That might be the cause of your issues.
