Sound file transfer issue

--- Quote from: G8B4Life on May 03, 2021, 11:20:58 AM ---Not enough memory is the error you get when there isn't enough free space on the LM for the file your trying to copy to it to fit. If the LM does only have the default files on it then the 567 Ult should fit. Unfortunately there isn't a way to actually see how much memory is being used / how much free space there is; you just have to start copying and hope!
Anyway, deleting some files from the LM that you know you won't use (like Diesel Engine, as your copying a new diesel sound) should fix the problem.
At least it looks like we solved the Could Not Verify problem.

Tim I read one place that the new file will overwrite the old file, then I read another place that it would not. On the ones that worked it apparently overwrote the standard file. I'll delete the diesel engine file and see what happens.
Thanks, Joe

I deleted the engine sound file and it's now downloading the ULT file. It's weird that some will overwrite and some won't. Just another idiosyncrasy of Rings files I guess.
Thanks again everyone,
Joe

Files will only overwrite if the file name is EXACTLY the same. So if you have "EMD 567-16 ULT" on the locomotive module, it will be overwritten if you upload another copy of "EMD 567-16 ULT".
The only time this will be helpful is if there is an update to the sound file from Ring, then the old file will be overwritten when you upload the new. This has happened several times in the past. The 567 ULT file was one of those that was updated (tweaked the shutdown sequence) so if anyone had the old file it would have been replaced with the new if they happened to download it again.

Things are going somewhat better now, EXCEPT when I download an engine file I can use it all day, but it won't stay in the HC Sim overnight. The first time this happened I had shut the computer totally down. Since then if I have a file that I've been upgrading engines with during the day, I'll leave the computer on and turn off the monitor. The next day I go down to start up again and the engine file is gone and I have to do another download all over again.
I save the file after I get it into the HC, but it won't last overnight. What am I missing?

KPack:
There is no "saving" files that get downloaded to the HC....they are just there. There is no user input to save them. So I'm not sure what exactly you're saying there.
When a file gets transferred (downloaded) from the RPA to the HC Sim, it saves in the HC Sim automatically by virtue of the file being transferred. As far as I know there is no possible way that the file will be deleted from the HC Sim unless the user goes through the normal steps of deleting a file from the HC.
To check and see what files are actually on the HC Sim, go to the same page where you transfer files from, tap on "Delete Files", tap on the HC Sim, then scroll through the pages to see what files are actually there. Also look at the "% Free Storage" to make sure your aren't almost maxed out.
