Thanks to Racedepartment.com we have one wonderful central place to fuel our racing addiction - I love it!
Particularly I am a big fan how the download section is organized and presented na dhow quick and easy it is to download mods.
There are only two small niggles I wish could be changed in the download section:
1) many mod makers do not name downloaded mod files in an easily recognizable fashion or include a small version.txt file or the version number and date in their file package.
My workaround is that I download a certain mod file and clip a pdf screenshot of the race department.com download page for that file.
This way I know at a later time exactly what file package it is and more importantly which version of said file package (I do collect tracks and cars and versions are quite important to keep track of).
Could it be possible that through some algorithm the downloadable file package on RD will be automatically packaged with such a feature (a pdf of the download page perhaps or at least the file named as the headline in the download section). This would make organizing downloaded files and keeping track of them a lot easier.
2) I always find it very hard to search the download section for a particular race track or car model and mostly do my searches therefore through an external search engine.
Could there be more advanced search options (with filters) so specific tracks can be searched for?
Maybe I am overlooking something here (particularly with the search) - any hint is much welcome.
