How to download content for T:ANE SP2?

[Big Griff]

I want to download third party content and the free DLC for T:ANE, but I don't know how. I think it involves the download manager. How do I install the download manager, and install third party content and DLC for T:ANE?

Hi


Third Party:
1.Third party content you download off 3rd party sites does not use the Content Manager.
2. It get's downloaded normally.
3.You go to the download location on your pc and manually drag the file ( .cdp) into a window of the Content Manager, which will then automatically install it.

Content Manager:
1.The Content Manager is on the Trainz Launcher > Manage Content
2.This can be used to download the free content from N3V's/Auran's Download Station
3. You need to register at MyTrainz with the same username and password that you have put in Launcher > Ttainz Settings > Internet.

4. When Tane is launched it will then verify the username and password with Auran's server
5. Start the "Manage Content" utility.
6. Change the heading "Installed" (next to "Filter") to "Download Station" by clicking on the small down arrow.
7. A list of headings will show up

It may all seem a little bit daunting to start off, but just have a play around with the CM utility.
Right clicking on content will also show lot's of other options.

There is a pdf manual for trainz on the Launcher > File > View pdf Manual

Has been years since I've gotten outside vendor content for Trainz, long enough ago that it was for 2009. Just got some payware from Jointed Rail for TANE & was trying to find something which said clearly what to do.
So, if I'm understanding this correctly:
> Download files in to the PC's Downloads folder.
> Open Tane Content Manager window from the little TANE window which offers buttons for various things you might want to do, play game, et cetera.
> Take mouse and drag files from PC's Downloads folder to the content manager window.

Ah, in the Content Manager's "File" tab is a thing where it says "Import content files", did that instead of dragging icon.
And ... hmm, a new little window says, "Done. 0 errors and 5 warnings."
Okay, now what?
EDIT: I still don't know what the warnings are about the the locomotive and cabooses are in there and they work.

Warnings are aimed at the content creator to let them know of things they can work on to improve the item. You only need to worry about "errors".
