I proceeded as described in your link and it worked fine until this stage: Now I am waiting already 20 minutes and the bar doesn't complete fully to the right yet there is a statement that the upload is complete? I am confused. However the link claims that it may take up to an hour. So I am waiting. BTW, ich spreche und schreibe natürlich auch Deutsch. Many thanks, vielen Dank, Pfalzbahn

Many thanks, vielen Dank, Pfalzbahn All right, this is the best solution knowing the language itself. I know the CS 2 is not the fastest, but so slow? Then it makes sense doing not so often an upload of pictures. Or buy a CS 3. It is uploading in seconds. Did it with my IC 2 Dosto cab forward car 43483, which has a mfx decoder inside which is handled by the CS 3 like a mfx loco, but is not listed in the database.

I never worry about where the bar is. If the check mark is not green then there is a problem. I believe you also need to shut the CS2 down and restart it in order for the new icons to display.

It partially finished the update and then it just hung, with me waiting on it and it waiting on me. The green checkmark was not functional (greyed out) so I clicked the "More" button which was basically my only option. That started the update process again and then it completed successfully. I have updated this CS2 numerous times and this was the first time that has happened. Perhaps the update process has changed and not been documented?

Sometimes this is needed when the GFP (booster) section also needs updating, although I don't recall it being quite the sequence you are describing.

Perhaps the update process has changed and not been documented? This is normal, when there is core/kernal/operatingsystem updates to apply that require/force a FULL reboot and update. Most of the time we have updates, they are only the component "Apps" that run on the operating system. Every now and then, usually at the same time as a major version number change 1.xx.xx -> 2.xx.xx but not always, you will get what you describe - i.e. you have to press the More button to "Shutdown and update"

That makes sense and that is exactly what happened, it rebooted and then finished the update. The part that was strange for me was that I don't recall ever having to do that with any other updates over the five years I have used this CS2. Of course the issue could be in the user's memory and not in the software. The other odd aspect was that I saw (what I assumed) was a new software version for the TFP but there was no sequence of requests and permissions to update the TFPs in my boosters, as has happened in the past. I have no idea why you would not want all of the TFPs running the same software or why you would need to grant permission, but that has happened many times in the past. All's well that ends well however and everything is working just fine. Maybe I am just jumpy from enduring the painful process of getting feature updates on my Windows 10 box.
