Repository of Enhancements for Train Simulator

Unread postby AmericanSteam » Sat Jun 29, 2024 2:10 pm

Here is a link to a website that has become an archive of DLC modifications consisting of enhancements to routes, reskins, sounds, lights for rolling stock, and locomotives from various sites that have closed or a bit shaky. I have used several of these and most are well done and work "out of the box". Be aware they may be no longer supported by their original developers. Use at your own risk and make backups. Be sure to read the readme file and make sure you have all of the dependencies needed prior to installation of any of these enhancements.

Why not post them in the RWA file section?

Because they are not from RWA.

By posting a link we are not "hosting". If there are problems with permissions it is their website's issue and not RWA.

Only with the file owners' permission otherwise it breaks their intellectual copyright (in other words - it becomes piracy)

I see, must be a lot of work making sure you have the latest urls from the orininal download place and not an old link.
After some bad experiences the last 12 months I went back to steam only, but above Mod site seems to have lots of interesting stuff and the site certainly looks good. !!*ok*!!

This is at least some of the old TruRail crew who have loaded all the original files to Google so these are not just links to old url's.

Everyone can. But that's not the point. There is no need for the RWA library to replicate the content of all other libraries.
