Hmmm. You might want to correct your thread title. This is a family forum :hehe:
First I thought I posted on a completely wrong website, until I´ve seen the Typo I made. I am still not sure what assest means, but it seems to have something to do with eating habits? I hope I corrected the right word now in the title :hehe:
Please don't start threads like this. Clearly you only want to have a thread with your name on it that gets lots of responses. Don't ask others to think for you. Do it yourself by exploring the DLS and the forum.
I´m sorry. I was not aware that the forum has a points system people are trying to farm for. It was not my intention to make an impression like that. The reason I asked is, that the DLS is very overwhelming with the amount of content for (what I think) various versions of Trainz it has. I already spent a few days downloading a single Session for Niddertalbahn 2019 which just made the game crash. As it turns out this seems to be connected to a bug in the Trainz 2019 Platinum Build which might get fixed in a future update. But nonetheless: After days of anticipation I ended up with nothing for now. This is why I included the game version I am using and was curious what DLS content other players enjoy. I could still end up with something crashing the game again, but at least I would attempt to download something someone else likes and has a good quality. And I can use this in the future.
Thank you very much for the link! Unfortunately it tells me I do not have permissions (yet?). Maybe connected to what wreeder tried to point out? I need more posts / points of some sort to unlock other parts of the forums?
You could do a lot worse to try out Bear Creek and Jackson by Horace Fithers, named BCSJ-507 but be warned, it might tax your GPU , i just had to pull all the sliders down on a 6gb gtx 1660ti , very high quality route.
also go on over to Trainz italia free section and try anything by Jango. Rollins Pass, Donner pass, White pass and Yukon.
be warned though ,a lot of their stuff may not display right on 2019 as much of it needs updating, you could have a big kuid hunt to get the routes to display without a load of bare patches.
Awesome recommendations! I put Bear Creek on the Picklist and wow! Trainz Italia looks awesome. I´ll look through that site after this post. Very, very interesting
My sentiments entirely. It's easy for us old timers to forget the time we have spent skimming through the Download Station every morning to see what new works of art have appeared overnight. And the difficulty we faced sorting the gems from the dross.

Anyway, I'll put my name forward. buedi, see here:

There are several more. Give us feedback if this is appropriate.
You are right. The amount of content in the DLS is overwhelming for me being new. I have over 4.500 Playtime in another game I play since many, many years and which gets new content every 3 months. I have no problem with all the game mechanics and content introduced during that time. But getting thrown into it now without any knowledge? Good lord!
You also mention some other good points. I really though that everything in DLS which has dependencies can only be uploaded if it can fulfill these dependencies. It is good to know early that this is not always the case. I have no problem tinkering with a game and doing some research to get something up and running. It´s just good to know what to expect. Thanks for that!
And excellent links! They are open now in my other tabs and I´ll be happy to read those after this post here is set
After a first look they seem to be focused on hauling cargo which, thinking about it a bit, is what I seem to enjoy much more than hauling passengers. Those routes look beautiful and like a lot of fun hours of shunting and hauling cargo
Thank you very much to everyone helping me here. I appreciate that very much :wave:
Also, Alikiwi has been making sessions for some of these routes, and Assets by Majekear and Davesnow are some of the best. And keep your eye on the Freeware Forum, people announce great routes and assets there all the time. Recently the L&A, the Eastern Kentucky, 10GB Romanian Route, if you can handle it, And Euromodeller is teasing us with a WIP multi-level route that has some amazing architecture! Plus locos and rolling stock by TrainzForge and others. And I know I am missing a lot!
