1. Go to the Auran forums, look under whatever version you have, and look for the most up to date patch. If you have never patched before, and your current version's patch is SP4, then you NEED to download all the patches before (and including) the current version, which in this case would be SP1-4. Once downloaded, simply install. It's relatively easy.

2. No, because it is no longer needed/used, hence the term "obsolete". Look for a newer version on the DLS.

3. A nuisance I've run into with new content is that sometimes the content filter in surveyor is set for "5-star" content, whatever the hell that means. Usually, if you go into the content filter in surveyor and clear the fields, everything should show up. Also, check the "open for edit" tab in Content Manager, if there's anything in there, it won't show up.

4. Yes, for most objects. Usually it's a config file typo/error, a texture being the wrong size, or something else that is making it faulty. 2010 is really strict on what it lets through, and previous versions were much more lenient. Right-click on the faulty object(s) and select "View Errors & Warnings". That should give you a list of things that are wrong with it, and need fixing. If you're unsure on how to fix a specific problem, then go to this thread: Listing of Errors and How to Fix Them. It covers almost everything--it is long--so PLEASE take the time to look through it carefully before posting on here that your problem isn't listed. 99.99% of the time it's there, but people like to skim and will obviously miss it.

You need to patch the hell up.Listen to me closely
http://download.ts20...03_to_44088.exe <----Thats the patch download it
when its done CLOSE ALL PROGRAMS,DISABLE ANTI-VIRUS and INTERNET
RUN the patch and DO NOT OPEN ANY PROGRAMS or PRESS ANYTHING if u do the patch WILL be DISRUPTED and you will HAVE to REINSTALL Trainz ALL OVER AGAIN!
The patch will take at least 1 hr 30 minutes I patched straight from 42203 to 44088 and it took roughly almost exactly 2 hours.

All you are doing is downloading 1 patch.When its done MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS CLOSED besides the patch INTERNET OFF and ANTI-VIRUS DISABLED and let it do its job!

Lol i did that but it was taking to long and i wanted to play Trainz so like the fool I am i disruped it and like u said I had to reinstall the whole thing. I was so mad lol.

I know i have been asking a lot of questions but does anyone know where i could get Magicland Subway Splines for example...

The Pillars that separate the Tracks from eachother like this:

Those are not separate. They come as part of the object.

[TrainzLover]

Oh Ok well i figured that out after i went on Trainz to check it out , Magicland is a genius but his Cars are having error in Trainz. The trucks/wheels/bogeys for Magiclands cars aren't loading their legit like invisible except they have a shadow of what the Trucks would normally look like with the shoe and all that electrical type stuff

[GreeneggsnPelham]

The answer to your question about faulty objects will help you in repairing Magicland's cars to work in 2010. Also, use compatibility mode. I have a friend who re-worked them for me in '10, so I can use them in native mode, but I'm not allowed to distribute.

[2 Train Master]

If you patch your Trainz 2010 to 44088 thr latest patch then you wouldn't be having these problems it eliminates Native/Compatibility mode which has Trainz run smoother.I'm just having problems with the R-62 other than that his trains are error free its just a shadow mesh but thats not an issue.
