Revision as of 10:13, 17 November 2023
The information in this Wiki Page applies to T:ANE, TRS19, TRS22 and Trainz Plus. It describes how to set up one (or more) alternative User Data Folders that can contain different sets of installed assets from a bare minimum (built-in and base assets only) to various specialist installs. |
What is a "Clean Install"
A Clean Install is a User Data Folder that contains only those assets that were originally installed with your version of Trainz | |
There will be no assets that are Installed from DLS, Payware, Packaged or Modified but these can be added |
A Clean Install will create a User Data Folder that is identical to the one that existed immediately after you first installed your current version of Trainz. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
