The WebDisk gets a unified set of rules
As usual with other platforms, WebDisk is now - after a long preparation - also getting a set of rules. We want to create uniform rules and clarify what is allowed here and what is not. We are open for feedback. In this article we describe the further procedure.

A few legal notes about modding
Recently we often get questions and messages that are of a legal nature. In this article we go into some of the most common topics, these are O3D files, modifications to payware/freeware and what to look out for in collaborations.
However, we do NOT GIVE BINDING LEGAL ADVICE here (of course we are not allowed to do so), but only state how things are handled in WebDisk by the team. Errors cannot be excluded.

What are Release questions and how the Webdisk handles them?
Today let's see a somewhat difficult topic: Recently, there have been more and more release discussions in the forum. Basically, requests for a release date or the progress of a project are not welcome in the community; they lead to frustration for the developers and the users.

Moderating reviews
From now on, we moderate also reviews in the filebase, after numerous problems and complaints in the past. This means that all reviews are manually checked by a moderator and activated. In this article we set some things right regarding reviews and give a short guideline.

Review of the year 2020
2020 will go down in the chronicles of the OMSI WebDisk as a year of changes. The closure of the official OMSI Forum (OOF) demanded a lot from everyone involved, especially the technology. The team was expanded in May to include the experts who provide quality support and take care of the Wiki. The next big change followed in October with the departure of Tatra and the formation of a new team. Finally, there was an Advent Calendar again after a year's break. Probably this year will be the one with the most and biggest changes in the entire history of the OMSI WebDisk.

Mail addresses, double accounts and VPN
We get a lot of messages about returning e-mails and double accounts. Please make sure that your email address is up to date and inform the team if a second person in your household has a WebDisk account. We also noticed that many of you use the VPN provided by the Opera browser. The use of VPN is not allowed in the WebDisk.

Every day in December an exclusive download is hidden behind a door and there are also raffles with many prizes by AEROSOFT and HALYCON!

Changed rule: File structure
Today a new rule comes into effect that simplifies the packing of archives and provides clarity about the folder structure that is required of you when you upload files. We want to remove the confusion about different OMSI paths.

Information about changes in Team
Tatra, previously co-project manager, is leaving the team. We would like to express our thanks for the work of the past years and look forward to a great future with the new motivated team members r2d2_2, Lµkas and Schleswig-Holstein. In the future we will try to enforce transparency and equal rights for all at the top of our agenda, but we still have to work through some incidents of the past months.
