    Not sure if this has already been asked, but how do you add the AP Veg EP to other routes that don't have it already fitted?

    Cheers

    I don't have the pack, so maybe take what I say with a grain of salt, but wouldn't you just enable the assets in the route editor?

    Page 3 of the manual tells you which routes the enhancements automatically apply to. Page 4 of the manual tells you how to add the vegetation manually to other routes.

    I think you missed the point of the OP's question, they're not asking what routes are already supported (thus negating your "Page 3" part of your comment) nor were they asking how to place individual assets in the editor (thus negating your "Page 4" part of your comment).

    I believe the OP was asking how do you make an existing route that does not support the APVEP to now use it, the answer is not straightforward it requires lots of .bin file editing, basically finding what assets were used and bulk changing the paths to those of an already supported route, there is a few examples where a straightforward asset file swap works but this is only if the assets are of the exact name in the patient and the doner so to speak.
    This becomes even more convoluted if it is a third party freeware route that may have used vegetation assets from 2 or 3 or more DLC sources.

    I get the principle but have failed to understand exactly what needs editing to achieve it myself, the route in question I wanted to upgrade to APVEP is Speedypetes XC route (it would look amazing with the AP veg).

    Reference to Page 3 was background, and as I said Page 4 is the answer to the question "how do you add the AP Veg EP to other routes that don't have it already fitted".

    I think you are talking of replacing rather than adding, that's not what was asked.

    I guess only the OP can clarify

    I guess that’s what I meant - how do I replace the the DTG trees with the AP ones on a route that doesn’t use the vegetation pack

    That's what I thought mate, sooner have you clarify than argue needlessly with someone.
    I hope someone can share the process as I too want to have a go at this.

    Could you use TS Tools to globally replace each vegetation item, one after another?

    I've not tried it, but then I'm not a big fan of the AP vegetation pack.

    You were the one pointing out that John was wrong when he was not.

    Not at all Peter, I said I thought they might've got the wrong end of the stick and replied based on my interpretation of the query, not every reply is a challenge mate, don't try and make it so.

    The ap veg doesn't show up in all the routes listed for me. You can use search and replace in ts tools. Bit of messing about tho. Make sure you back up the route before hand.
