Did you download all 4 files? I did yesterday and it all appears to be there - only got as far as creating a single train scenario and starting it up but no major issues I can see.

I'm having a similar problem. When I open Ann Arbor I'm in the middle of a field next to some tracks. I downloaded all four files and put the assets where they belonged. One question - this is shown as an update and isn't very large for a route file. Is there an original Ann Arbor route file needed.
Thanks

I have a similar problem. When I start the route I'm in the middle of a field near some tracks but no trains are in sight. The route file is only 5mb. Is there a larger file somewhere that this file updates? Thanks for any help.

[chrisreb]

The 4 files I mentioned are more than 250mb in all. The 5mb one is the route the other 3 are all the assets which is why you are getting a blank green area and nothing else. You need to download the 3 assets files.

I am also having Problems. I installed thw rwp and added the assets from the first asset downloaad. I could not locate rpk files in either the Asset 2 or Asset 3 files.
I have no scenarios except in Free Roam. Then the full file descriptions are not visable. When I open the files I only get a short section of track. The scenery and roadbed are visable, but no engines or rollingstock.
I am going to try downloading again.
I must be installing wrong. Are there any detailed instructions on installing the assets. The route itself is only 5mb. That does not sound right.
Thanks for any help.
I am not experienced at this. I tried downloading and installing again. No luck. Would it be possible for someone to supply detailed instruction for installation of Assets?
Thank You.

The only thing I have issue is the sky. The rest is good. Should've done a beta test before release. I might be wrong if he did or not.

Ann Arbor runs just fine.

Asset pack 2 and 3 should contain a 7zip file that needs to be unpacked. Do you need more information? The one is SMM stuff and the other is labeled Toripony. At this time all of the scenarios in this pack are free roam.

So Ive verified my cache, cleared the cache, made sure to install all the files. Reinstalled the files and the route. (Yes, I unzipped all 4 downloads. And even unzipped the folders in the folders. Which leads me to ask, why do we have to unzip a file, to get another zip file? WHY?)

But I still get invisible track in many places such as yards, bridges, or even a few random places. I can select the track, I can place and run a train over the train, but I cant see the track.

Every time I have attempted to load the "Ann Arber updated.rar" then try to run RailWorks, I get a SBHH. The only way I can recover is deleting the entire Ann Arbor route from the Content Folder from RailWorks. I have tryed several times with the same results. I have double checked that I have Ann Arbor Assets, Ann Arbor Assets Part 2, and Ann Arbor Assets Part 3 completely installed. Still No Joy...

I am running Windows XP Pro 32-bit O/S. Do you suppose I am having a Memory issue and should finally convert my computer over to a 64-bit O/S to take advantage of a larger RAM pool?

Because this was his first route and first upload and he is still learning how to do things. Other people have the route working including myself. So maybe you need to explore a little more on your end. Try running RW Tools to check the route to make sure you have all the required assets. Remember this is all free here. All it costs is your time to figure some things out.

Very well said Bob. I don't know if I have the luck of the Irish, but this fine route has operated perfectly since I downloaded it.
Might have something to do with the fact that I possess most if not all North American routes, I'm not sure.
Sorry some are having trouble, Its a well put together route.

Hate to ask here, but how do I go about that? Do I use the utilities program? If so then what? I'm unfamiliar with some aspects of Railworks.

If I think I am doing this right. I go to utilities. Then to Packager, then look at Ann Arbor Update and look at all the drop down tabs. If the asset is installed then its blue, if its missing its red. Which in my case, every thing is blue. But I could be wrong in my methods.

RWTools is a separate program that can be used for all kinds of things. http://www.rstools.info/rw_tools.html. It is pretty amazing for finding things wrong and fixing them.
