TRS19-only accounts = missing/unknown/faulty assets
I'd just like to understand things and it seems I always have more missing assets than others. I've always wondered if it's because I don't have any older versions. I have all six of the TRS19 routes installed plus many other freeware routes including some major ones like Cotton Belt, and others. But I always seem to have more missing assets than what others report....
For what it's worth, it appears that people with only TRS19 on their timelines are not allowed access to many assets that were built-in to TS12 and TANE (when the download process tries to access these KUIDs, you often get a "file not available on server" message, and the asset is then listed as an unknown missing dependency - or a faulty dependency - when you pull up the "List Dependencies" information for the route). Other times the asset will be shown as "Available to Download", but when you try to download it it will state that it's not available. If you pull up the information for the "unknown" KUIDs at the KUID:Index site, the majority of them are always shown as "built-in" to either TS12 or TANE. My list of missing/unknown/faulty assets clocks in at 54 (see below for the list). My personal cutoff point of assets needing to be fixed is 50, so I'll give UMR2019 a pass until a fix is discovered for "pure" TRS19 account holders (I suspect it would be some sort of account adjustment that N3V could make at their end for effected users when the Download Manager evaluates the account to determine what assets the TRS19 program has access to, but who knows?). BTW, my evaluation of this issue comes from completely anecdotal evidence and my personal experiences; if there are any Trainz gurus out there that can say, "Oh poor Little Grasshopper, just flip this switch in your Preferences and all your missing asset problems will be fixed", please speak now!
Thanks,
Michael
