Is Natvander Still Around?

I don't know if I already made a thread about this, but I have been wondering if Natvander is still around. It seems that Natvander is an Moderator, but I've not seen any posts from him. The reason why I made this post is because I've heavily modified one of his routes to convert it from having an Australian-theme to having an American-theme and I would really like to release it on the DLS. I've spent literally years working on this route to get it to the point it is at now. All I want to know is if Natvander's still here?
 
The fact that a couple of new assets have just appeared today on the DLS under his name would seem to indicate that he is still around and kicking. Try sending him a message.
 
They look more like repairs of his TRS2006 assets as they are a V1 kuid.

Cheers.
These were on the DLS Cleanup but are no longer listed:

If I want to release a modified version of someone's content under my name, I make sure to contact them and ask for their permission before I release it, if they give me permission. This is the most important reason why I want to find out how to contact him because I don't want to get into hot water by uploading a modified version of their content without their permission. I have tried PM him, but got no reply. I just need a way to contact him where I can get a reply from him.
 
A quick Google search shows a website and a Twitter handle. His email address appears to be his Trainz name at yahoo.com. I'm not going to write it out to prevent him from getting spammed.

What are the licence conditions included in the config.txt for those assets? While it is always preferable to obtain personal approval, comments in the config may indicate that the originator would approve of changed versions being uploaded without the need to contact them.

I ask for permission regardless of whether the config file shows that you do or don't need permission.
 
I will not speak for Natvander, but he is unlikely to approve a release of a remake of his route or content. Natvander didn't even allow screenshots of re skins of his content to be shown.

I finally got in touch in natvander and he said as long as I put an Australian flag somewhere on the route, I can upload it to the DLS. So I've got to download an Australian flag from the DLS (I've already picked one), find a place for it, and see how it looks. Then, if I'm satisfied with the route, I'll upload it, unless I find something I'm not happy with.
 
Oh well done. I didn't think you would get permission. Shows you how much I know. :)

Looking forward to seeing what you have done.

regards
 
Hope you use this one, it's animated
