The old computer was stuck at 2010, my goal is to recreate an historical route, the Boston and Albany, circa 1955.
Trying to update assets through 2010 content update left 1600+ items that "were not found", 427 faulty dependencies, etc. You get the idea.

So the question is, is downloadable content for 2019 platinum reasonably up to date?

Thanks in advance.

Trying to update assets through 2010 content update left 1600+ items that "were not found", 427 faulty dependencies, etc. You get the idea.

Owing to the lack of response, I am not sure we have. Are we to understand you thoroughly updated your 2010 asset library using the 2010 Content Manager with the modern DLS inventory? Usually in that scenario, one filters out the DLS assets whose game version exceeds their content manager (in your case assets exceeding game version 3.2 to 3.4, depending which of the 4 service packs you applied) or that process renders their older game somewhat useless.

So the question is, is downloadable content for 2019 platinum reasonably up to date?

Seems like a rhetorical question: There is nothing to compare it to that could deem it inferior, so how could it not be?

While pondering what's up to date, lets take a moment with regard to this, concerning terminology. As of TANE going forward "download content" (DLC) refers to premium content available through the "Store" module of the game and is discrete from the free DLS content. Think about when you use the term "downloadable content" if you are referring to this premium content or the DLS. In either event, it does not change the answer. What comparative measure is available to access whether the latest available is unreasonably out of date?

Thanks for the reply. In neither the in game "content updates" nor content manager 3.3 build49933 do I find an option to limit the search to build 3.3. things like the PRR steam expansion I bought are totally full of faults. Some of the updates had 'rules' that broke the tutorials.

Between OS re installs and ill health, it wasn't until recently I had the opportunity to reinstall 2010 and remembered how much I liked the game. Reduced health costs made the purchase of a new computer possible.

I guess the best course of action is to wait for the custom built system to arrive. and see how well the base 2019 fits my goal of recreating the B&A.

In TS12's CM one can create the logical qualifier to limit the progression of assets : "And Not" "Minimum Build Version" "3.4". Not sure about 2010's CM. Otherwise do a "asset versions" listing of each component and delete assets with build versions 3.4 and higher in favor of 3.3 and lower. You can also try TS12 in the interim for small money to get you to 3.7.

and see how well the base 2019 fits my goal of recreating the B&A.

We are on SP2 ready for SP3 to release. In fact, they will not let you install the base 2019.

Best wishes for your rapid recovery...
