A gracious thing to do for the community, Mike, without this tool the vast majority of us would have struggled with the game for the last 8 years, huge thanks for everything you have done for us, take care of yourself and I hope your health gets better and you can enjoy retirement without the hassle. :wink:

I can only echo the the thanks of others for this invaluable tool & I have only ever used a small portion of its potential. I was selfishly rather hoping DTG would engage you to develop an integrated UE4 version.
Good luck for the future.

Thank you Mike, indeed Railworks (as I will always call it) would be impossible to use without your software.
I trust you will still hold the copyright and are "open to offers" !! I too am dissapointed that DTG havnt made you any offers, as it is SO vital to the success of their product.
Really sorry to hear of your ongoing health problems and do hope they do not detract from you having a happy "semi" retirement in the future.
Thanks again Mike you have certainly made a significant impact on this pastime.
Cheers John

Without RW Tools I would have found the game almost a waste of money as I believe almost 75% of my downloaded scenarios have needed changes in stock to make them useable.
Many many thanks therefore.
Here's to a long and happy retirement.

Mike as a user of RW_Tools & before that MSTS's Route Riter, I would echo the thanks posted above. We would have been in a right mess, or perhaps stuck in a siding with no way out! without your patience & expertise. So from me....many many thanks for your time, and your efforts. It IS greatly appreciated.

Mike,
I've been a very grateful user of your programmes since MSTS days and may well have given up on Railworks but for your programme.

Very many thanks, and good luck in your 'retirement'. I'm two years behind you and found already that retirement is harder work than I imagined!

Regards,

Geoff

Hi,

Just want to add my thanks, for many years of using both your utility programs for MSTS & Railworks. :D

I would like to extend my thanks to Mike for his work in creating this tool. I've found it very useful with my constant struggles to get this wobbly TS software to work.

Best wishes with your health.

An Awesome tool and I'm sure many routes and scenarios would not be able to run without it. Thank you Mike.

Thanks for all the kind words. I notice that the full version I uploaded here yesterday did not apparently upload correctly (was showing as zero bytes). So I have uploaded again and looks fine now, sorry about that.

I will continue to give help on the program to anyone who needs it, either in direct emails or on the RW_Tools forums here or at Railworks America.

I have no intention of passing the source on to others, as I did that with Route-Riter and it was not very satisfactory, so as long as I can manage I will keep fixing any bugs found, but there should not be a lot more.

Interesting that I have had over 300 downloads of the full version from my web-site in 12 hours, presumably from those who could not afford the minimum $2.00 for the earlier licensed version :-)

Thank you Mike for producing some great software.

I have learnt more from that program as to how TS works than I ever would have done. And whenever I have raised an issue or question it is always met with a pleasant and speedy response.

In terms of Railwworks/Trainsim, you are a true legend.

Thank you again
