I'm using Linux as OS for modding.
So I would like to know if there is a PCS2 version for Linux.
-
There's no Linux version of FRED, so you're not going to get far with modding anyway.

There is a version of PCS2 for Linux, but it's notoriously difficult to compile (iirc, a binary release of PCS2 doesn't exist for Linux). The Windows version, however, seems to work passably in WINE.

thanks for the information

I've got PCS2 running on Mint13 & Centos6 without too many dramas. See here for some details:

Only issues I've had are
1) it crashed a fair bit with certain POFs (like the mediavps_2014 Artemis), but not all the time
2) I don't see any textures, but I don't know if that's how its really supposed to work or not (not a modeller! :))

there is a whole complicated thing for loading textures IIRC, you might have to configure it manually.
