I decided to make my own horseshoe curve modern route without coping so I can Release it. How can I upload google earth in to the game?

Before starting a route, you need to read a few things.
From the Railsimultaor.com support section, get the developer's docs. It will install several PDF documents. Also read the wiki.
From RSTools.info, read the RW Tools docs about setting up a route.

1: Someone is already doing a modern HSC.
2: You can release a modification to an RSC route without breaking any copyright laws.

Lol you are! I just looked up the posts I'd seen earlier and they're yours. So why don't you just release the one you were working on?

Noooo. All that talk of copyright infringements is just hyped up hearsay from people who wish computer simulation creation was more dramatic and exciting. Trust me, RSC isn't going to prosecute a 13 year old for sharing some modifications with other members who have paid for the original product.

Lets clarify something... you cannot alter or distribute their geometry files.

Well I got RwDecal download then got the RS document then I got confused. Do I put all those files like Addon1 and Addon02 and Addon03 do I add all the other files into those?
