INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Step 1: Copy the ‘Assets’ and ‘Content’ folders into your Railworks directory and overwrite any files if asked to do so.
• Step 2: Open ‘PortsmouthDirectAssets.ap’ located in ‘Railworks’ > ‘Assets’ > ‘DTG’ > ‘PortsmouthDirect’ using winRAR or 7zip.
• Step 3: Copy all folders EXCEPT ‘Template Routes’, ‘Preload’, ‘Input Mappers’, and ‘Rail Vehicles’ from ‘PortsmouthDirectAssets.ap’ into ‘Railworks’ > ‘Assets’ > ‘DTG’ > ‘PortsmouthDirect’ and overwrite any files when asked to do so.
• Step 4: If you own them, you’ll probably need to re-install your ‘AP Track Enhancement Pack’ and ‘AP Sky & Weather Enhancement Packs’ to ensure they will work on this route as well as any other third-party content that affects any other files you have overwritten.
• If you don’t know where to find your Railworks directory, you can right-click Train Simulator on Steam, click ‘Properties’, click the ‘Local Files’ tab, and click ‘Browse’. You are now inside your Railworks directory.
DISCLAIMER

CREDITS
• A massive thank you to ‘deargdoom’ who loaded the route up in TS Tools and found the file pathing issue causing the missing assets around the route.
• A massive thank you to ‘AH_Routes’ who helped me fix the track corruption issue that originally broke V1.4. This new version would not have been possible without his help.
• Thank YOU for downloading my route. My enthusiasm and determination to release this new version wouldn’t have been present without all of your amazing and continued support.
Hi, I’m having trouble installing this route. I have all requirements and I believe I followed the instructions correctly (copied the assets and content files into railworks, and opened the portsmouthdirect ap file and copied the required folders into same folder MINUS the ones listed) however, I have many missing assets and platforms. Could anyone assist?
Hi Dominik, apologies for the issue. A lot of people seem to be having similar issues so I’m looking into a fix for a future version at some point.
Hello there
Love the route and is very nice to see the south west finally get some love as its been neglected in TS for a long time
I was playing your guildford to Alton Scenario which is included with the Route and had an AI collision after departing Aldershot
can this be fixed please
Thanks very much! The South West got neglected far too much in TSC so I decided to take it into my own hands 😛
Apologies for the broken Guildford to Alton scenario, I’m aware it doesn’t work but if I do release a future version of the route all the current scenarios will be replaced with new ones anyway.
