In Configure trainz window as Roy mentioned earlier in the thread, my user name and password appear automatically. below that in the same window tag named Planet Aurran there are two buttons, Patch Trainz and Join Planet Auran. When I press patch Trainz I get Download failed in the window. Press the join button and I'm already a member.
Now my internet connection is just fine, here I am in the forum.
I don't use Windows fire wall and my security software has never given me a problem before on any game and advises me if it does.
I have the CD version of TS12, i just can't download any assets. Although I can see the assets i want, they don't have icon images in them and I get a message that the URL is not available.
Now you guys have had years to work this out but for a relatively new user, this really turns me off updating to the newer versions.
I don't wish to spend the next 6 months working it out, it needs to be simple for people like me and its not for what i have read on the forum.
Yes Roy, I am an aircraft and scenery model designer for Microsoft Flight Simulator and P3D.
Cheers, Mark
