Suggestion for <in-game/forum/teamspeak etc.>: In-Game
In detail, explain your suggestion:when you join LL you download addons to help you see cars my suggestion is to add them to the steam collection to help people when they do /content to find addons easier.
Why should this be implemented?
it makes it easier to understand what addons are needed to join LL

If I remember right, FastDL was not working properly for a long time, resulting in people (me included) timing out 4-5 times before they could finally join the server. It should be far easier to just tell players with less than 10 hours that they should use /content using a pop-up window.

I didn't think project Understood what I was trying to say.
The vehicle models are in the content packs already, thus already added in the steam workshop list.

When you first join the server you download almost nothing anymore as FastDL has been disabled and instead all content has been moved into content packs in order to avoid issues stated above.
The models you are talking about are in content packs that you only have to install once and then they update automatically every time a dev updates the pack. Am I missing something here?

When I joined the server I got force to FastDL addons
Could you help us
With fastdl/understanding
I believe we do have a FastDL however, I believe it is only for the VERY, VERY minor stuff, most likely like Fonts.
We do have a FASTDL but it was disabled in 2016.

That would be a fabulous idea, unfortunately this is not possible due to some restrictions regarding the Steam Workshop Agreement and copyright. We are not allowed to host foreign addons/content without piror permission. Many authors don't want that either.
I think what Gamer is saying is not add them to the fastDL but when you do /content all of the external addons LW, TDM, CW, etc can be viewed. Therefire making it a lot easier for new player to play without errors. I understand that the models from the addons are put into the packs, but it seems to not work because you still see errors if you don't have the specific addons. This however is not a problem for me because i download almost every realistic car on the WS. Also addons such as the photon engine must be download to see things properly. I hope I am understanding this right. If the content pack collection are used in FastDL and you don't want other addons in there, just make another collection with all the other addons. Make it so when you do /content the one with all the addons shows instead of the one that is used for FastDL, but to my understanding, FastDL is not used.
