WS Scenario "Locomotion,Ballast to Brenner"

Hi all,
on attempting to run the Steam Workshop scenario, "Locomotion, ballast to Brenner". I found I had to D/L and install the BR-189-Academy-Repaint-Pack, from this site. https://rail-sim.de/forum/wsif…189-Academy-Repaint-Pack/. Having D/L and installed this pack. I checked the scenario via RWTools but was informed 189-996/917 and 918 were missing. But to double check tried to load the scenario with Train Sim, but again received the message cannot load the rail vehicles.
I have extracted the Railvehicles folder from both .ap files and also deleted all blueprints in an attempt to get over these errors, but no luck. find below attachment of the Acadamey folder and the Train Sim error pop-up.

I'm assuming that all that had to be done was placement of the repaint .ap inside and adjacent to the reident .ap within the "DTG/Academy folder.

Hi,
thanks for the response. Does not seem to be relevant if the "BR189_Engine.GeoPcDx" is present or not. See the attachments below. These show the engine folders for the problem vehicles, as installed from the D/L ( .ap file opened via 7zip). I am sure that I did try to insert the "BR189_Engine.GeoPcDx" into the engine folders of the vehicles that did not contain a version, but it had no effect.

Note the 189-917 as downloaded does have the "BR189_Engine.GeoPcDx" already within it's engine folder. But is still reported as missing.

Hi Matze,
On reading your spoiler, decided to start again. So, went into "Railworks\Assets\DTG\Academy.", deleted all of the contents - replaced with a copy from RWAssets back up on a remote drive and then added a new copy of the extracted "BR189AcademyRepaintPack.ap".
The result was as shown in the attachment below. On trying the scenario had exactly the same " Cannot load ....." error pop-up message as in my first post.

Hi all,
using the old "Poke and Hope" method of seeing if something will work. I mused on this bit of the repaints instructions:-
"Installation Advanced
NO support for this but of course it works fine ! If you are like me,
you don't waiste SSD space for dummy Academy. You don't have to install
Academy to enjoy this pack. But tyou have to take two file for the
original AcademyAssets.ap. Extract _.sbn.MD5 and _.sbn from the original
AcademyAssets.ap and paste them aside with BR189AcademyRepaintPack.ap.
Those two files are the keys to make the GeoPxDx works. You did it : Six
BR 189 for 66 MB !"
So I did " Extracted _.sbn.MD5 and _.sbn from the original
AcademyAssets.ap and pasted them aside with BR189AcademyRepaintPack.ap."
Deleted
the blueprints.pak and attempted to load the scenario yet again, fully
expecting the error pop-up. But the scenario loaded and started and ran
through to conclusion without any error pop-up.On checking later with
RWTools, no missing assets being reported.
I'll leave it to the Techies amongst you for any explanation as to why this seems to have cured/resolved the problem.
I'm
assuming that the attachment below shows one of the Lok AI engines, the
one on the right 018 being the original player's consist rear engine,
and therefore always appeared. The other attachment shows the two
additional files added to the Acadamy folder.

I appreciate everyones patience and assistance with this conundrum.

Hi all,
in order to reduce the amount of confusion now surrounding this subject. Can I respectfully suggest that any further debate be carried out using the thread on UKTS http://forums.uktrainsim.com/v…5&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=30. Particularly as the author of the scenario has made a comment which has some bearing on the post above.
Thanks all for the information and help given to date.
Regards JohnT
