How do you install these? Thanks for any and all help!!

Good Morning:

After Railworks loads you go to the Package Manager tab and then click the install button and then browse to the .rwp file.

Hope this helps.

I have Rail Simulator not Rail Works, does this mean I can;t load these files? It would be so much easier and a lot more people would use this sim if there was a self installer to install everything to the directories that they need to go to. It's so easy to mess something up trying to manually install them. It just seems so much simpler to make a self installer for engines, rollingstock, routes and such. For people that know what they are doing it's not bad but for those of us that don't it's a nightmare.

The Package Manager in RS can only install *.rsp files, whereas RailWorks can install both *.rsp and *.rwp files.

I ran into the same problem a few months ago while trying to install the contents of a .rwp file into Rail Simulator. Believe it or not, this simple trick seemed to work: simply rename the file extension from .rwp to .zip, and then open the file using your default un-zipping utility (Winzip, etc.). Doing this allows you to extract the contents of the package, which you can then copy and paste into the appropriate location(s) within the Rail Simulator file structure. After doing this, just make sure to delete the blueprint files so that they get regenerated on startup, and start the game. The new content should be there.

Hope this helps

I renamed a .rwp to .zip and winzip objected but 7zip was ok.

installed to an RSC folder under ASSETS

Which blueprint file do you delete?????

I use 7zip exclusively, enables you to look inside the Asset file before you install. Also works much more quickly (for me) than loading through the RW interface. There are downsides, in that you need to keep track of what you installed if you want to uninstall it afterwards.

On the Blueprint, either use the button on the initial RW screen to clear all blueprints (Tools & Docs>Clear Cache - Clear the blueprint cache) or work back from the Asset you installed in the Asset Folder till you find a blueprint within the provider folder. If you have never used an asset by that provider, you will not have a blueprint to clear.

Actually it's *.rpk, not *.rsp, I think.

Sorry - Yes - *.rpk, and I meant "*.rwp" for RW (RailWorks Package).
