Railworks Utilities

[GeneralSponge]

Hello! (and I really hope this isn't a stupid question)

I'm currently attempting to download a Caledonia works for rolling stock pack, it told me that I must go to the railworks utility page, fair enough, so I did. the next step was to go to the package manager and hit 'refresh' what does it mean by hit 'refresh' there is no refresh button on the utility page. The keyboard refresh I tried didn't seem to work either. I need to find out how otherwise that's 7 pounds down the drain.

Hello Monty - installing packs from third party sites can seem tricky until you get used to it. You've downloaded and extracted the pack from Caledonia works? Extract it to somewhere you can find it - perhaps into your downloads folder or even your desktop. Then you want to open Railworks utilities - it will be somewhere like: F:\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Utilities.exe

Though it might not be on your F drive, maybe C
Open railworks utilities.

when open you'll see five tabs across the top - click on 'Package Manager' and then the refresh button - give it a few moments and it will open all your assets - if you have a lot it could take a little while.
Then click the install button, find the file you extracted (will probably be a RWP file) and open.
Let it do it stuff and that's it - next time you fire up TS you should have your wagons.

As someone who has mastered this first step, it's worth noting that if the drive you have Train Simulator installed on goes bad, Steam Cloud backups do keep track of third party content installed this way, and when you re-download the game to a new drive they will still appear.

Now, I'm still having some trouble getting them to WORK, but as far as I can tell it did download all the files. If anybody knows how to give TS a kick up the rear so it realizes those assets are present, I'd love to hear how it was done. Re-downloading the files, uninstalling the content, and re-installing from the fresh download doesn't seem to work.
