Why are routes downloaded from the DLS incomplete?

[rwk]

There are hundreds, nay, Thousands of routes on the DLS that should be removed. Just plain junk. A couple or three blocks, many times unpainted, several strips of track with no real plan. Maybe a few buildings and the "creator" uploads it as a route. Has some kind of silly name like "Fun Route" or "Big Train Crash" or whatever. Blah.

They look like they were designed by 10 year olds, not experienced route builders. You have kids, and you have Approach Medium, Scratchy, etc. with very detailed routes.

The people exhibiting their artwork has been around for years. You can usually spot them without opening the posted route by looking as the size of the posted file. A small "kb"number usually means a "test" posting. I can quickly skip through the listings that way.

Look at the size of some real routes to get you own minimum size target

have lost track of how many routes i have downloaded that had so many missing stuff i could not even use the route, last one was even missing the track. There seams to be only a few good uploaders out there.

Missing Textures, white colored objects shown.
Just a thought are there missing Texture.txt files in the kuid downloads from the DLS ?
Surely the TRS 2019 Content Manager would display any faulty red assets.
