Let's drive side by side!
Still waiting on that finished Portland track ....
no great loss imo, took on too much stuff and never finished it
What happened to those 6 laser scanned tracks they promised this year? Did they ever release anything yet?
Knowing their track record, it still impresses me that people were so willing to dish out money to them.

and you see, I was at least partly right.
Going by this facebook posts it seems like "they" somewhat threat us with leaving AC modding for good. Maybe it's just part of internal issues, like the modellers of all the "beta" tracks asking for more money, and Mister Simtraxx threatening them with "aha, watch out, or I stop working with you altogether!" in the form of that facebook post. Or the RIP post was that and they came to no agreement.
Going by what we have seen of those guy(s) anything can happen, just bundled up in business speak. For all I know the entity that is Simtraxx, always speaking as "we", is a single guy managing and trying to profit from a group of modellers. And every upload in recent times, like the weirdly made Transfagarasan update, was just a straight pass through of whatever the modeller send to the manager, because he himself does no modelling or modding himself.
Of course, all of this is just pure speculation on my part.
...and if all of this 'RIP Simtraxx' nonsense was just some clickbait attention-grab then I rather think it's backfired, because newsletter subscribers now seem to be sharing the track links with anyone who'll have them. I mean, if the project is dead then it's very hard to annoy a corpse, isn't it..?
This appears to be some sort of LASER scanning taking place at Transfagarasan.. Hmmmmmm. I will gladly eat my words if Simtraxx releases a scanned version of Transfagarasan.

The task was not easy, because as in the mountains - the weather was sometimes capricious.
