Hi Peter, have you printed out and followed exactly all the instructions contained in the file below :-

Skipton to Carlisle 1920 - README FIRST [26112 bytes] - sc1920_readme_first.doc File ID: 16375 Date: 01 Apr 2007 - 2643 Downloads

It explains what to do and I did it easily and at present I'm going though all the Activities the route has attached to it.

Hi Bob i have read what it says but still confused can i unzip the files into My Documents Folder where i downloaded them or do ineed another Folder. Sorry for being being a slow on this subject. Thanks Peter

Hi Peter, I would create a four new folders in your My Documents folder say :-
1) Gsetup
2) Rsetup
3) Ssetup
4) Route
Into the Gset put the File ID 16372 and unzip it into the Route Folder i.e. number 4
Into the Rsetup put the following Files ID 16362, 16367, 16368, 16369, 16370, 16371, then one at a time unzip them also into the Route folder as before.
Into the Ssetup put the following Files ID 16373, 16374, 16363, 16364, 16365, 16366, then one at a time unzip them also into the Route Folder as before.
So now in the Route folder you should have the following :-
sc 1920_gsetup.exe

sc1920_rsetup.exe
sc1920_rsetup-1.bin
sc1920_rsetup-2.bin
sc1920_rsetup-3.bin
sc1920_rsetup-4.bin
sc1920_rsetup-5.bin

sc1920_ssetup.exe
sc1920_ssetup-1.bin
sc1920_ssetup-2.bin
sc1920_ssetup-3.bin
sc1920_ssetup-4.bin
sc1920_ssetup-5.bin

Then follow the instructions by Double Clicking on each .exe in turn and you will find a Route called Skipton appears in MSTS, one note is that this uses a tsection version 36 so you need to re-install the latest version again and overwrite the one installed.

Hi Peter, if it is downloaded and installed o.k., you could use the same folders again but delete all the files that are in each one, so there is no chance of error after all once installed you don't need them again.

Hi Peter,
As Bob says.

But, KEEP A COPY of the download outside the Trainsimulator Folder as a back up.

This could save all sorts of hasle, especially if anything is withdrawn from UKTS.

Hi sorry to be a nuisance, as i say i am new to this but getting there slowly how do i make a copy as you say. Thanks Peter.

[scampispeedway]

Hi Peter, highlight the file you want to copy and simply use the edit tab at the top left of your page and then select copy and designate where you want the file or folder to be stored, press the copy tab and then repeat this with the others.

I have set up a folder and sub-folder on a separate disk from my MSTS installation to store all my downloads. Under the top level folder, I've created a folder for each country, then beneath that one for routes (with sub-folders for each route) and one for stock (you can go on setting up sub-folders for each download site if you want). Below the top level folder I also have other sub-folders for utilities, tracks, etc.

Then just move your download files into the appropriate folder after you have installed it.
