Enabling nearly everything

[ssbobz]

Hypothetically, what would be the likely result of turning on a majority of ones assets when building a route? Long load times, more frequent crashes?

[buzz456]

Yes.

[trev123]

Short and sweet.

And a nightmare trying to find stuff in the picklists!

And all your payware would also be in the list.

How do you separate the payware from the freeware?

[artimrj]

Don't activate the payware.

I make scenarios, not routes, and activate as few assets as possible on a strict basis of need. So, I'm puzzled about why a route maker would want to activate "nearly everything".

To have the scenery assets available when building the route. I try to have only freeware assets or the standared routes/assets enabled, but I don't understand or can't keep track of what is a 'standard' asset that comes with TS2017 and previous versions of TS.

Right now I just have the terrain ready and I'm trying to decide what track and building sets fit the route. I'm not very familiar with the assets yet so I don't know which route(s) are going to have the majority of the things I want to use. I've been loading them separately and looking around the world editor but I was thinking it might be faster to load up several and poke around that way.

Just a FYI we built the Lafayette route using NO payware. Everything you see there was default of free stuff.

[davedingler]

Don't activate the payware.

Guess I should have asked how do you identify the payware? The listing of the assets that you select from is by creator but I haven't seen anything that identifies PW from FW.

Well what payware did you buy? Don't turn that on. You can see all the DLC you purchased or won in the little black box on your game section of Steam.

Doesn't that only show payware purchased from DTG?

Yes only payware, it does not show freeware. Another way to see what is payware is in the utilities program. Do a refresh and payware should have security showing for it. So you can not upload it with your route.
