From time to time I run Tafweb's DLScount on by content to get an idea of what is popular and what isn't.
Currently it tells me I've had 3,764,847 downloads or an average of 3,783.8 per item. It doesn't tell the whole story as there have been some updates to correct errors and the old versions don't show up in the display.
I tend to be lazy so if I can reskin I tend to reskin. Thank you to all the content creators who've given me permission to reskin or update their work. I know that textures are a problem so often I've used photographs with permission for textures. Unfortunately there aren't many colour photographs from my favourite time period. Creating complex steam locos is not a particular interest by the way.
Also I tend to play a little so the Slater street terrace housing came from an attempt to keep the resources down whilst still giving a reasonable set of houses that weren't all identical.
My own interest is probably focused on 1920-1948 or pre-BR. We have some coaching stock from that time period and more recently there has been some activity on coaches there are certainly some GWR ones expected shortly on the DLS. There is also a fairly good range of steam locos available these days.
Making content for TS2010 does take more effort especially with the extra detail and the new texture features most of which I have still to get to grips with.
I recognise that asking the question is an invitation to a lot of people to say all sorts of things but are we lacking anything major at the moment?
Thanks John
