Bug Description

When OpenBVE is opened and the "Get Add-ons" button is clicked, the program displays the message "Can not connect to server".

That happens because the main programmer left the project and abandoned the trainsimframework.org domain that was used to host the addons repository. Its new location is now railsimroutes.net.

The hardcoded URLs should be changed to prevent the error message from being displayed and to allow add-ons to be downloaded correctly.

Waiting for the Debian patch to be approved so that we can sync the fixed package.
