Vodhin's Girders N' Glass CS set is one of those truly magnificent essentials, which should be in every RCT3 creator's basic "must have" 101 tool kits! Personally I would judge this set to be in the Top 5 of The Greatest CSO ever created. So, "what does make a really great CSO?" - The answer is simply logical: For me personally, a truly great CS set has all of the following qualities: 1) Overall appearance, look and feel. (in eg. the quality of the textures used, quality of the icons, are the pieces in English etc.) 2) Functionality. How does the set pieces behave, function and work when used in editor, are the pieces recolorable, if they "snap-in", how they snap-in, are any pieces available in diagonal form, etc. 3.) Usefulness. Is the usage of the set limited to "just one thing" - or can the set be used in unlimited ways. Only creator's imagination will pose any kind of limits to this set. 4) Compatibility with other sets, especially in-game textures and other user created CSO. This set is more or less based on the model and look of the original glass girders found in-game, which makes this set even more useful - as they can even be used together almost seamlessly. 5) Extent of the CSO set. How many pieces there are, and how many of them are really useful, and how many of them are unnecessary. Luckily, this set has NO unnecessary pieces. Everything has a well defined usefulness and purpose. It has 68 various iron girder pieces, 32 glass wall pieces, and a VERY useful building set for creating a custom cast iron spiral staircase - Which screams to be used in spooky theme, and anything fitting for Victorian/Edwardian era scenery! This set is more than extremely useful! - If you think that this is only good for recreating a version of "The Crystal Palace", you're dead wrong! This set can be used with any other CSO in so many, various and versatile ways that it makes this set a true, genuine masterpiece. I have myself used this set with various sized arches and other pieces which allow non-collision items placed inside or on top of them. If you really want to see how many different ways pieces found in this set can be used, download Belotto33's Structure Packs - it's used in 22 of the 28 sets. Finally.... If for some unknown and/or weird reason you haven't got this set yet, you truly are missing something great! I attached screenshot of a conservatory/green house/orangerie built almost entirely exclusively using parts found in this CS set.

This is actually version 2 of this set. We know this because the root folder is "xistics2roadcafeitaly1" - and the first version's root folder is "xisticsroadcafeitaly1". Unfortunately this is yet another set where newer version cannot be used as a replacement for the older version. And the sad situation is that the first version of this set is now among the "lost" files, no known download available. If anyone does have the older version, please upload it! Both the original version and this newer version are required CS for many of Belotto33's superb structure sets.

The key phrase here is "seems so". If you only knew what I had in there which which is now beyond recovery! However, what comes to RCT3 stuff, the damage wasn't quite as bad as I thought, I lost maybe 25-30% of files in RCT3 storage folders, but almost 90% of the stuff in My Documents didn't make it. Biggest problem is that the MFT table was so badly corrupted, that even when a deep surface scan located at least some of the files, it's impossible to tell which files are 100% intact without testing every single file and folder manually - and this process is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooow.... -So, if this is the case, I will upload the recovered 2.1 version as soon as I can, it's 100% OK!

This is version 2.0 , May 3, 2013... I found from my old drive a version 2.1, released 2014, which I think is labeled as beta -version. I tested this 2.1 version and it seemed to work fine, and it has some features which are not in this 2.0 -version. Am I correct thinking that this version 2.0 is the last known stable version - or could there be some other reason I don't know about why the v2.1 is not downloadable at ParkCrafters? Anybody?
