Some websites don't alphabetize their listings. Some of these files' readmes are too vague in their descriptions. My experience so far has been hit or miss. Or if they got other sites they want let the rest of us know about then put them here.
However if someone's got info on something special or worth mentioning they want to share then by all means put it here. It's not possible to rate everything out there and I'm not gonna try. I don't know, perhaps I jumped the gun with these ratings. I kept at it and about the fourth attempt it was successful.
MSTS DOWNLOADS DOWNLOAD
Since it was a fast download I tried it again and it failed again. I did a download from some author's site and got a corrupted file. I had a problem at train-sim where one of the files was corrupt. Most of my stuff has come from railserve and I'm mostly happy with what I've got. I've only been able to download a few things from train-sim. Plus, like I said, train-sim is hard to get into if you don't have a paid account.
Well, I don't know about things like who's allowed to host what, but railserve has been faster to download than train-sim. We have had problems there with them hosting files that they were not allowed to have. At far a T-S.com, it is the best site out there for US stuff bar none. Not a good thing, it is basically to each his own. Installment (did it install? was the file corrupt? unusable? easy to install?)Īlso can anyone recommend any good Amtrak locos? I downloaded three: 1 didn't have a horn, 1 had a cab but the controls were invisible, and 1 just didn't work (I'll go into detail about these later). Performance: (bells, whistles, noise, handling, views, etc) Looks: (accuratacy, detail or lack there of) Overall: Advantages out-weigh the disadvatages. Smaller selection than at train-sim, but faster downloading makes it worth it. The other downside is they limit users to 25 downloads a day. The downside is you can't see any screenshots of what you're getting. The upside is downloads using a dial-up usually take 3-5 minutes for big files at the very most.
MSTS DOWNLOADS FREE
Requires free user registration, BUT if you're not a paying member it takes forever to access the system. One downside is that with a dial-up it takes forever to download one file (10-20min each).
The upside is you can see screenshots of most of the stuff available. Some excellent locos and some poor locos available, but a huge selection of everything you can think of. Preview of download: yes, most of the time
MSTS DOWNLOADS REGISTRATION
Right now here's my review of the websites I've used:Īccess: free member registration required subscription membership also available very hard to access if you're not a paying member (they limit bandwith usage) Please add your website and download recomendations or ones you avoid, provided you tell why. I know I shouldn't complain about freeware, but I think it would save downloading time and installing frustrations if people knew what they were getting. Later when I get my files straightened out I'll come back and rate those. I'm going to begin with rating the two websites I've had luck with. I'm just now learning and using the free downloads available and some were awesome and some were junk. I'm starting this thread to inform people of what I think about websites that offer free add-ons for MSTS, rate the downloads that I have, and hopefully get some feedback from others on what they like and what they avoid.
