Do I have to be a computer wiz?

[johnwhelan]

One problem with searching for items on DLS is that similar items are often named differently making finding hard. For instance level crossings are labeled as, xings, crossings etc. Sometimes items are in the wrong categories which does'nt help like a signal cabin in loco category! Most DLS assets are error free about 80% maybe? Items showing as faulty can be hard to correct for novices I guess and unless it's something you really need probably better to delete it. Have noticed that each new edition from TR2006 finds new errors in assets that didn't show in previous editions. IMHO versions later than TRS2004 are OK if you want to do nothing more than run whats in the box, but to do more than that, build your own routes with DLS items and run trains on them requires a lot of stuffing around with CMP, error checking etc. Delete files when CMP wont open and all the rest, all this takes a lot of enjoyment out of it for me.

The signal cabin is actually a loco to Trainz it allows you to do cab views or look out of the window.

Much of the TRS2004 content on the DLS has errors in that TRS2004 basically would get confused about cauing performance problems or try to ignore. It's only with the better error checking in the later versions that these are becoming apparent.

Yes, Trainz, all versions are less user friendly than it could be but that is not due to lack of effort by the Auran folks. However try any other Train sim to see how bad it can be. Still, some times I wonder why. I Don't recall Pong being this much trouble.
