Tucsoncoyote here, and I had a bit of a question dealing with routes that were unfinished by other folks and who have literally abandoned the projects to sit in the DLS for others to download.
The main question is this:
Is it okay to download an unfinished route that you want to modify or change to a more appropriate level of "Completeness". than what it is in right now.
Let me give an example here.. There's ont the Download Station a route by a creator by the name of Mousefart who created a route called 'PRC' that was initially designed for Trainz (SP3), and has by now had enough assets that are no longer available that it would be considered "Abandoned".
The question is basically is it okay to take such a route and bring it up to say TRS2004 or TRS2006 standards, because of the fact that while some of the older content might be "Outdated" and some of that content might still be useful with slight modifications, wouldn't it be logical to download the layout, work on it bringing it up to 2004 / 2006/ TC Standards and then re-releasing it?
It's just idle thought here, but if anyone wants to discuss this feel free to.
PS-- If I did finish this route, I still would give Mousefart the initial credit for creating such a route. But still the question remains.. are there a lot of Abandoned routes out there?
