    Hi,

    NO, mate!!
    All the folders, which are within the route's own folder, MUST stay there!

    Sorry, Eric, you just beat me to it - but I'm not so sure about the track shapes !! They are in the GLOBAL/SHAPES folder and used, as required, by all the routes in the ROUTES folder.

          Thank you, Eric. Your suggestion of loading in that, truly made a difference. So now I can feel relief

Payware Routes install everything in the proper folders once directed to where you want it installed, also refer to any 'Readme', or 'Install' .txt files with the routes, "Payware" or "Freeware" for any additional instructions.

            Edit - Okay I missed the prior posts regarding this.
