Installation
First, backup your stuff !
Unzip the file in a temp location. There are 3 folders according to what you want to use :

Base required (Thomson Albula is required for platform characters) : Copy the content of Heidi Express folder into your Railworks folder.

Optional 1 : Lower max speed to 65 Km/h : Copy the content Heidi Express speed track folder into your Railworks folder.

Optional 2 : LGVmed platform characters (LGVMedSouth required) : Copy the content Heidi Express LGVmed folder into your Railworks folder.

Important note
Kuju.ap content some characters from Railsimulator which are provided with the Heidi Express in a sub folder of UMC (read the lines below).
You don't need kuju.ap if you have EU and US assets packs.
You can delete the folder Assets\UMC\AddonRhB\Scenery\Vehicles\Vegetation which is 100% useless, just a copy of Assets\UMC\AddonRhB\Scenery\Vegetation (which is used)
You can delete the folder RailWorks\Assets\UMC\AddonRhB\Scenery\Kuju_Characters, the patched route did not use any of those files
Rail-sim.de modder can use the patch to improve any route.

Uninstall
Reinstall the route or your backup.
