What happend to all of the 3rd party routes on steam?

[mapitts66]

There used to be a place were there were quite a bit of add on scenarios for DLC on Steam. A lot of them were excellent. I am unable to find these routes. Anyone have an idea?

Check out the RWA library under Route Collections and Scenarios. You can also go into the Community section of Steam and then Workshop, click on page 2 then on Train Simulator.

I think they are still in the Steam Workshop, but there was a change in the Workshop user interface and now it's incredibly difficult to find anything. Or I'm just stupid.

Well i'll join you in club stupid too then
I gave up using the workshop a while ago as it stopped making sense and i struggled to find anything.

I'm not seeing the confusion here with the Workshop. I select DRIVE/Workshop wait for the decompression to complete and it installs all Workshop content, Then, if I go to Browse I get the same old Steam window I have gotten for years which seems to work flawlessly. I am not sure where the problem is, can we get a better explanation?

I think they're talking about finding stuff (not yet installed) in the online Steam Workshop, not finding Workshop items already installed on their PC

Having said that, I find that the search box works pretty well with the careful and thoughtful use of keywords. It's also easy to keep your eye on the latest items

I remember the workshop web page used to show workshop items in the main window and a selectable (with checkboxes) list of DLC. I would check "Horseshoe curve" and the main window would show only scenarios for HSC. This worked for me, although the list was unsorted and unsearchable, which made finding a particular DLC difficult.

Then this list was replaced with 4 drop-down lists (still is), which didn't work for me. I would select "Horseshoe curve" and the main window would show "No items matching your search criteria were found. ". Nothing worked so I quit using this page.

I just checked it again and it works sometimes and somewhat. Filtering several times with the same DLC yields different results. I select "Horseshoe curve" and the main window shows anything from "No items matching your search criteria were found" to 1393 items, most of which have no relation with the HSC. So it's pretty much useless, at least on my computer.
Ah and of course the lists are still unsorted and unsearchable, and the latest route is "Norfolk Southern SD60E loco add-on".

It looks like the brightest IT students get internships at Google and Microsoft, and Steam gets the residue.

The drop down boxes don't work for me, so I bypass them and use the search box. Try to balance the search term between too general (route) and too specific (Horseshoe Curve eastbound daylight scenario using the default gp7).That should narrow the pages to search to a manageable level.
