Especially when it comes to downloads, the old system was, well, Complicated, members had to pass on downloads to us and wait for us to upload them add a picture ETC.
well see for yourself..!

As you can see it was all reliant on a post and a lot of messing around in the post to put it online.. so anyway that was a system i started up back in the days of when RailSimulator fan / help / download sites started to appear on the web for the UK when i launched "The Train Sim" and that system was only to be temporary.. nearly two years old and used by other websites (proves it was a popular system) we decided it was time to give the members control of their own content.
Introducing the brand new downloads service on RW-Trainsim.

A big thank you to Marshall who spent over 2 days setting it all up and getting it in a working state to launch for Friday.
So whats so new about this system i here you ask?
Well.. For a start you could never post a comment to downloads as there where multiple items in one post.
so in this system..
[*] Upload your own item write a description with a rich text editor, add a YouTube video of it in action, or a static image with your details on it using third party sites such as Photo bucket.
[*] Others can rate your item from 1 to 5 stars
[*] Other members can leave a Comment on your download
[*] You have complete control of your downloads* and can edit the description at any time.
[*] upload files up to 100MB in size and it is hosted by us!*2
[*] Once you have uploaded 5 safe items, you can apply for content developer rank which will give you the ability to upload your file without it being held in a approval Que.
[*] Tag your download for easy finding by other members when they use the "search Feature".
There's more I could find but I won't. I'll let you discover that for yourself.
We'd love for anyone who was put off form hosting content with us because of the downloads system to pop back and give this new system a try.
Never heard of us? well come on down register an account for free and you get instant access to upload your content, whilst you do so feel free to use the forums to chat with others and promote your work.
