Hi
Have you also installed UK Finescale tracks and the latest Tsection.
If the answer is yes, then you probably need to make at least one path in AE.
Cheers

Hi James, I have today just installed the latest version of Tsection Build 38 into my computer due to a CD Addon route just downloaded changing it to an earlier version, if you follow what I did you should succeed.
Download and save the file as shown in the main front screen, I put all my downloads from UkTrainsim in the My Documents section in the C: Drive and as in this case into a folder where other Download Add-ons are stored
Close everything down and open this folder using the Start Icon, click on My Documents and find the right file location and then right click on the Zip file and then click on open the file which is at the top of the choices presented.
When this done you are presented a new screen with, on the left a Readme file which explains all about the file to its right, I then clicked on the file on the right to highlight it and click on the copy option in the file menu to the left.
Click through the various sections of the following path to make sure it is stored into the correct folder :- C:/Program Files/Microsoft games/Trainsimulator/Global/ once you have opened the Global folder, press the copy icon in the middle of the choices and hey presto the file is copied.
You do not need to open this file at all and just close everything backdown again and rerun either MSTS or if loaded Trainstore to select the route and activity you wish to run.
I hope this answers your question and you get under way again.
Yours Bob

Bob,

I may be misreading your excellebt advice, but should it not be to press "paste" when you have got to the Global folder?

Tony, I use Paste only when I am saving or moving any files from one source to say another folder within the C:Drive or external storage device using the file icon in the top left of the screen, by following my method you only get the option of copying not pasting, but either method will work.
I know my method worked as I had done it that way earlier and solved a problem running MSTS via the Trainstore which generated an Microsoft Error report which of course I did not send.
