Maybe this is beyond you.I really don't know but could you please state what route your activities belong to before posting them.You also have a way of posting what models are needed to make the activity run but you never state the zip name.All of this would hope when it come to downloading your activities.I for one don't download your activities because your readme file is very vague as to what is truly needed and what route the activity belongs to.If you're reading any of these post you'd see that this has been brought up before.Please take note of the descrepencies and make the necessary corrections.

I also have the same problem with the author's activities. I am not going to download an activity that doesn't clearly state what route they are for and what zip files, and where they are located, that the activity requires to run properly. I have chosen the same path as Claude, I just don't download the activities, even though many of them look very interesting. I would just say that since you take the time and effort to create these activities, which I do appreciate, spending just a little more time on the read me would be well spent.Ken

How did I survive before MSTS
