Hi,
I'm new to OpenBVE but I am an experienced user of desktop Linux operating systems. On an app centre called "Ubuntu Software Center" under the page for
OpenBVE, one or two of the feedback comments complained that many add-ons for routes and trains were unusable .EXE files for Windows, and couldn't be used
in Linux.
While these .EXE files were intended for Windows users, they can be opened by Linux users, because only the first segment of the file is an .EXE, the rest is the
Zip file. It won't be an automated process like it was supposed to be, but at least the files will be extractable by the user.
To open the .EXE in Linux, download the file, then right-click on the file and select "Open with Archive Manager." If the Archive Manager produces an error, then
that particular .EXE does not contain a standard Zip file inside it. But I have tried some, and most of the time it will work.
Just in case anybody comes asking...
