All reasons you give are actually valid lackoo
this does not mean you cannot have fun with trainz
Playing trainz, never forces you to only have the latest version
Fi I have a full working TRS2004SP2 on my PC here
for TRS19 I use build 100240 (before any service packs)
very happy with that version and it does what i want and is stable
Kuid hunting, I hardly ever do and actually use more that is not on the DLS than on it
There is a forum part where people can help you "hunt" kuids,
here
Payware items in freeware routes is a BAD thing
SP4 makes that even worse, but N3v knows and will correct that
What i do here, i live with the knowledge i cannot get them and replace them on the Route
Why on earth would I want buy some rusty PBR shed, while there are 100's better replacements
Faulty assets, yes happens a lot, realize some assets were made over 10 year ago
and the original creator has long left the scene, has no motivation to come back and repair
Assets should not get faulty to begin with, it's called backwards compatible.
Anyway, find a version you feel comfy with, and have fun
If you need help or kuids, just ask, many here that can help
greetings GM
