Download Station is one of the most important parts of TRS for those of us who love creating new routes. To some extent, it always was a bit of a mess because few people bothered to follow any kind of naming convention, but what I see currently is very difficult to use. One of the main problems is the lack of columns: previously, I was able to add extra columns, and the most important for me was the one that told me whether the item was a thing or a route. I no longer seem to be able to do this in either trs2019 or trs2022.
Most routes include, if not a number of cities, at least one large town, and to make this look realistic you need a very large number of buildings - I have found the European buildings prefixed AD extremely useful along with the City Block series created by Dave Snow, but type in "city" now and you find the number of items has multiplied immensely, especially with "City & Country USA", and, as far as I can see, a large number of these are routes and - much to my horror - unfinished routes. There is a block of items suffixed with "autosave"!
Is the no control at all over what is put into DSL? Finished routes are a different story, but I think it is a cheek for people to add their experiments here.
All the same, it would life easier if I could see at a glance which are genuine assets and which are someone's first attempt at creating part of a route.
