Actually I think I know where he is coming from. I used Trainz 2012 for a bit until my PC died, and I had over 400,000 assets available, but I had to actually download them. I dont have an internet connection on that computer AND NEVER intend to put one on it. Too much stuff going on with it. So even though I had those assets, I couldn't use them.
At least I hope that is what he is saying. I'm just throwin' darts.
By the way, I really didn't like 2012. It was only because I'm so used to using 2010, because I used 2010 for 4 years.
