RTA MODS

[hutch]

I have read about RTA truck mods,where does one find them to pay for them?
I down loaded a MACK from ATS mods and some say it could be stolen
from ATR MOD MAKER. I hope I`m not using a stolen mod.

https://rta-mods.net/ That's their website, the Mack Superliner did get leaked and you may have that version.

Fairly certain that RTA isn't paying any licensing fees on the models for which they charge money. If they had one leaked to the public I wouldn't lose any sleep over using it.

No definately not Ryu.

The only caveat about RTA's mods is that they are very high poly models, so a low end system will struggle with running them.

That's probably the Superliner that got leaked. I have that mod but I didn't pay for it; don't believe in paying for mods. Playing other games that use mods, modifications will always be leaked to other sites so don't worry about if it's stolen or not. Cheapest mod I have seen on their site was the Renaut Range T for ETS2 which was 10$ then the CAT 660 or whatever it is which was like 16$ for ATS.

Yeah I feel the same way.

I have a friend who works for a well known European truck manufacturer. He has been talking with Kenworth Australia. Their legal department is fully aware of this infringement, but wasn't sure who/where to find the people selling it. Said friend gave them full details of RTA and KenAus legal are now looking into them.

Whether they decide to take any action remains to be seen, if they do take action, I'm not sure how that will go for people who purchased the model. Under UK laws this would fall under the group of IP theft, PIRACY, and counterfeiting. Not sure how the Aussies view it, or if they could take action against a Russian guy. But thought it might be wise to put it out there.

With it classing as piracy, buyers could be subject to fallout if anything was to happen.

It's also worth noting that said friend reported them to other companies where they are selling their copyrights for profit as well. Even TurboSquid was pulled into it for selling the models RTA buy too.

Personally I am not sure what I want to happen, I am against paid mods so I would love to see something come of it for that reason alone, on the flip side, as a modder, it could have negative fall back on the whole community if they did take action.

Nothing wrong with paid add-ons for trucks, but if you don't have permission from copyright holder your going to liable legally. Most likely RTA will be told to stop selling these add-ons if don't they will be sued.

It's a sticky situation. Personally I love their trucks but not the way they're producing them.
Hopefully an out-of-court agreement can be made, if it comes to that, and RTA can continue producing models but with manufacturer's consent. That'd be great.

It's not merely add-on parts. RTA is making entire trucks that nobody else is making.
Although, they've dropped the ball here I think because they're now selling Volvos in addition to the Renault they released earlier.
Maybe messing about with one manufacturer's product didn't really bat anyone's eyelids on the "fifth floor", but several labels.. well.. that's different.

The main issue I think is the fact that they're selling them. You really just cannot sell someones brand or trademark for profit without permission.

This is right. I heard that BMW is looking at TurboSquid (who make the blank models) as well.

could any fallback from this perhaps hurt scs in their pursuit for licensing?

What is the point in paying for mods? if it was Third party DLCs or addons, then fair enough, but for mods that ANYONE who has knowledge of how to make mods could make, is reddiculous, i for one will never pay for mods, not now, not ever, especially seeing as you can geet plenty of superb free mods if you just search the legit websites.

Not only that, but if Truck Manufacturers catch wind that Random people are using their vehicle models and brandings, free of charge and then seeling them FOR A PROFIT to members of the community, they could easily sue all mod makers and potentially pull the plug on any relations with SCS now and in the future.

So please, refrain from BUYING mods from these scammers. Just download free mods from free sites that will not get anyone in trouble.

Nothing wrong with Payware if someone wants to buy rare truck for $20.00 with all bells and whistles and developer went thru the proper channels to get okay to build it see nothing wrong with selling it. When you pay something vs getting it free kind of expect higher qaulity and support for the product . With experience with flight sims payware is 80% of the time better in qaulity than freeware mods.
