Dear Members,
When we say, you need a certain payware route or product, that is based on when WE, the "repainters", create our creations. We expect those payware routes or products to always be the same for all time. "BNSF Scenic Sub Route 2.0" should contain the same items for as long as any customer can purchase "BNSF Scenic Sub Route 2.0". Even through the Internet Archive.
If you were told to buy a certain payware route or product, in order to use one of our creations... AND if a payware company has since decided to change the contents of the payware route or product, AFTER WE, the "repainters", made our creations... AND the payware route or product no longer contains the required shapes or other files...
What payware companies do with their payware routes or products behind our backs, is beyond our control, since it is their right to do so, since they own those original creations. Unfortunately, they are also under no obligation to inform us of their payware route or product changes either.
Most companies usually identify changes by creating a whole new version number for their payware routes or products. But this does not always happen.
If you make a purchase of a payware route or product, that no longer contains the necessary files to use our creations, We deeply regret, that there is NOTHING that we can do to rectify the problem.
There is no way for us to know that payware routes or products have changed, unless we are made aware that there has been changes to those payware routes or products. This may not be immediately known.
When we do know that a certain payware route or product has been changed, without changing the version number, we will make an announcement in our forums, noting what product has been changed and what shapes or other files MAY no longer be available. Please make sure to check that list, BEFORE you make any purchases. We will do our best to keep the list, up to date.
If we find out that a certain payware route or product has had shape and file changes, but the version number is the same, we will make sure to note in ALL NEW creations, still requiring the ORIGINAL release of that payware route or product, that you will need the ORIGINAL release. Any EDITS/UPDATES to existing creation will contain this notice as well.
Hopefully members that do not have the ORIGINAL release will still be able to purchase these payware routes or products through the Internet Archive. According to SLI, all of their products are still on the SWREG server, and most of the "discontinued" items can still be purchased. If not SWREG will let you know you can't. As I recall that product becomes "Disabled"? PLEASE NOTE: No one has tried to purchase an original version, instead of the repackaged version, at this time. You may NOT get the original version, but instead get the repackaged version.
Thank You for your understanding.
