The trainzbuild line ... an obviously stupid question

[cascaderailroad]

It seems that the trainzbuild line is what keeps an asset from not working in a lower trainzbuild (and possibly keeps it from working in a higher trainzbuild version) ... what would happen if the trainzbuild line tag was taken out of all assets config files ... is the trainzbuild line tag even necessary ?

I think it'll throw an error, as it should. I'm not 100% on this one. I know a mismatch between a TB version and the tags one uses generates errors itself.

I tested it on a junky trainzbuild 2.5 route (in TRS2006) ... it shows "No Map Selected"

I put it back in ... and the route shows up.
=============================
Another stupid Question: Why does a trainzbuild have to be so high of a numeral, what if all assets trainzbuild lines were 2.6 or 2.0

If the trainz-build tag is missing, it assumes trainz-build 1.3, which is Trainz 1.0 + SP3.
