Not fully, no.
There is an ongoing cleanup process to bring it up to TS12 SP1 standards, but it will take weeks if not months or even years.

No. As I said, it's an ongoing process which crops up each time a major update is released,

lackoo, you can see for yourself at https://www.auran.com/planetauran/dls_cleanup_list.php?Mine=0
As of this morning, there are over 354 pages of assets. At 20 assets per page, that's over 7000 assets!
As Shane said, it will take a while until they are all upgraded.
I've taken a crack at repairing a few myself. I think it's a good learning experience.

The ongoing process for repairing assets has good intentions for the community, however, beware as I and other have found out. Make backups of assets, frequently.
I found this out last night with missing bogeys on GE 44tonner locomotives. They reference a built-in asset that is now broken in TS12 SP1 HF3. The asset shows no errors, but does not appear in game.
The asset mentioned above references:
<kuid:38304:52010> which is now obsoleted by <kuid2:38304:52010:1>.
It would be nice if people test the repaired assets before putting them up on the DLS.

I think the problem is more that it works in their setup, probably as whatever dependency was fixed in the past and forgotten, not helped that if you import a saved local / Original folder even if the originals were downloaded through CM from the DLS, everything is to show as locally modified, so pretty much impossible if you have fixed a lot of stuff anyway to tell what's untouched or modified without starting with a clean install and re-downloading all the bits. Or it may have been fixed in 2010 or pre SP1 TS12.
A problem I found with one item that after selecting for repair, I couldn't download the original from the DLS, may have been a one off but wouldn't help if that is a common occurrence. Solution in that case was send back to list, download then claim it again.
I'd like to how many and which of my items are on that list but I can't seem to find a way to rapidly move thru the list. I suspect my items are towards the center and at 20 items per page it would take too darn long the click thru the list page by page.
Anyone know of a rapid method?
Thanks,

Well poo - I should have thought of that. Brain rot no doubt, lol.
Only had 2-1/2 pages. I thought it would be more like 25 pages. If I fix them will they automatically come off the list or do I need to claim them? Seems a bit odd claiming your own items.

Not sure about that, I'd be inclined to play safe and claim them. They get accepted very quickly doing it that way.
I just looked at the first 5 and I've already fixed them. The SP1 compatible versions are on the DLS. Looked through the rest of the list and I recognize them from my faulty items list.
Perhaps claim them and do nothing since the fixed versions are already on the DLS?

Probably a good idea in case someone else claims them and uploads them again. Perhaps some N3V input needed as to what happens when items in the list have already been fixed?
Ben,
I'd contact the helpdesk and let them know about your already fixed items. N3V should have sent you an email telling you about your faulty assets before putting them up for public repair. That would have been about 2 months ago.
I've claimed a few assets only to find that repaired ones had already been uploaded quite some time ago.
With regards to testing a repaired asset, I put the trainz-build at every version from 2.9 to 3.7 and make sure AssetX and CMP is happy about each version. Next I test in my route in TS12 SP1HF3. Then I import them into another computer with a virgin copy of TS12 (sans SP1) and make sure that any dependencies are easily gotten from the DLS. I hope that is enough of a shakedown.

Like a lot of folks I got a faulty list about 5 weeks ago (300+ items). I slogged my way through it and with 4 or 5 exceptions repaired them, brought them up to TS2012/SP1 standards, and uploaded them. The problem with the exceptions is in the mesh and I don't seem to have it anymore (even though I supposedly have them all archived on 3 external hard drives). There are only around 51 of my items on this list. If the other 250 or so were on the list and were removed - my haven't these?
Think your right - N3V needs to look into this.

These updates make me leary cause a lot of em go back to just being upgraded to 2.9 and still defective....
basically confusing is say the cpl signals upgraded to 2.9 but is theyre script also fixed to that standard also?
also a lot of rolling stock that I basically over the years upgraded myself new bogies,commodities, etc.......
One would have figured to follow suit on that or is it just the built in stuff thats being upgraded?
I guess other option is to clone em and avoid the upgraded stuff that i would have to rework again anyways...
