    How to reach goal of building a route with no asssets that would be missing.

    Peter, you and I have diametrical outlooks on the game, the main differences being your almost predictable responses regarding loyalty and defense of most aspects of the company and their decisions.

    Microsoft announces a new threat to push people to Windows 11

    Ah the tired old argument that if I do use any technology I'm a hypocrite and should cut myself off totally from it if I advocate even the slightest bit of restraint. I didn't say I wanted it banned, I said I don't use it . Not telling you not to use it either , but you shouldn't make...

    Have you carried out a extended database repair ? Lowered the game settings ? Ive had that sort of issue with one route years ago , i did get it to function eventually by opening it with the lowest settings. I am presuming you are using a silicon based Mac .

    Some will , some won't , I have ones I've burned 15 years ago, they are fine , it depends on the media , gold maxells seem to be losing the top coat, a bad sign, and they were supposed to be better quality at the time, but I never just rely on one copy, I have multiple backups on both hd and cd...

    The Willunga Branch

    I've uploaded a WIP , only about 50% completed , of about 18 miles of this route to the DLS just in case anything prevents me from completing the work, the sudden deaths of Euromodeller and Malcolm (clam1952 ) when they both had yet to complete prototypical routes that were not on the DLS has...
