The 52779 assets aren't mine; if they are no longer available, there isn't much I can do about it. The P42s at this point are legacy assets, and I don't have any plans on fixing them.
It's also not fixing any content; it's just updating what is essentially a glorified spreadsheet that tells trains where all your content is & what it is. With a regular repair it's just scanning through everything & looking for places where the spreadsheet doesn't match your content collection...
Internet speed has nothing to do with a database repair, it's all happening locally. The typical factors that effect a database repair are your computer's specs & the size of your collection of content.

I'm working on a Metra Electric route.... but it's going to take a while before phase 1 is ready for release.
Very nice! I started making a highliner for Trainz ages ago, but since I don't know how to get it from the 3D software into Trainz (fully functional, I can do static things) it's been sitting in purgatory ever since.
