Installing an activity

[PGH60]

I have downloaded and installed two acctivities for the Evesham Route using MSTS unpackager another file for a fix to the Tender says in the upackager Failed To Read Info .How can i install this please .In My Documents where it is saved it says Con File . Thanks PGH60

The tender fix was merely a new consist file to replace the original supplied in the first two activities. It doesnt need to be unpacked by the tsunpack software, just unzip it and put the consist file in your consists folder, overwriting the original

Hi,
The Consits Folder is in the Trains Folder

Your Drive/Programe Files/Train Simulator/Trains/Consists

Back up Trains first (as with any change you make)

Hi Sorry to be a nuisance i unzipped the file to where you said but no luck the tender is still the same . Anyway i guess i will have to stick with it because i don,t think i am ever going to succeed,but thanks for your help dare not ask for anymore. Cheers

did you overwrite the original consist file i supplied with the original activity file?

If you are running Vista chances are that it was blocked by Vista security. Try right clicking on the con file, picking properties and see if there is an unblock button down the bottom right hand side. If there is click on that then copy the file into your consists folder again.

Just copy the consist file from your doccuments and paste it into the Consist Folder of MSTS. You should get a message saying do you want to replace this file with this one, just answer Yes and it will overite your existing file.
