A Personal Please to content developers

This is a personal plea however i am sure this will be echoed by the majority of community members.

I have downloaded the fantastic Wales & Borders V3 BETA, luckily a member of RWTS community passed it onto me, however i am still unable to play it because of the "extra" dependants needed.

Now this is NOT a bitch at the route creator, Ghostcav has done a supurb job and is doing an very impressive update currently.

But this is a plea to the creators of "independent items" Now we have the wonderful system that is RailWorks package manager, where you can choose to protect or unprotect your work. PLEASE choose unprotected and write in the accompanying read me that it may be packaged up with any route or scenario with your Terms of use.

This will then allow members who use your fantastic items to simply pack them up in their RWP when done, and then write out the "thank yous" in the read me for that package.

That or please send your items to independent sites like RW-Trainsim, we are always happy to accept your items for RailWorks, we have no ques, no restrictions we just give registered members direct access to your content.

This rather annoys me as when you are strapped for cash it really dose not help when you have to purchase a membership to UKTS to download everything you need straight away rather than having to spend hours upon hours waiting in the UKTS Downloads que.

I know, i here you say "Well, 1 months premium is only £3" yes, ok, but to be honest i don't want to buy a ukts subscription for a month and have downloaded everything straight away and not use it again (waist of money).

you produced it for free, so why should i have to pay for your freeware?

So basically, Content developers (i'm talking more in the way of scenery builders ETC) please either allow your work to be packaged up with a route, or allow us to host your items on other free websites.

Terribly sorry for the way this post is worded, i am a little tired when writing this but i do know what i am talking on about.
