    Is it possible to get back the saves if you need to reinstall the game/computer?

    I mean if I need to reinstall the game I lose the the saves of the scenarios which I have not finished or is there something I can do so I can continue the scenario after reinstalling the game?

    I hope you understand what I mean?

    When I create a scenario and am happy with it, I copy it and put it into a back up file on another separate disk. That way if I have to reinstall (which I have just done) I just copy and paste it back into the route.
    Is that what you mean?

    I mean when I am driving a scenario and saving it before it is finish and something should happen that I need to reinstall the computer.
    And then I want to continue with that scenario and not have to start it all over again.
    Can I continue from the save or I have to start it all over again?
    Is there a save file in Trainsimulator that I can copy it back after the reinstall of the computer?

    I have never done that before (mostly because I never save a scenario) but don't see any reason why you can't save it, as long as you note the file number of the scenario and copy it to a safe location (portable HD?).

    Where would you see the file number of a saved scenario?

    You just copy the Scenarios folder for the route to an external drive

    Each Route has a numbered Folder in railworks\Content\Routes\
    Chatham Main Line is 00000066-0000-0000-0000-000000002016
    In that folder is a Scenario Folder railworks\Content\Routes\00000066-0000-0000-0000-000000002016\Scenarios
    In the Scenarios Folder are all the separate numbered folders - if you have 57 scenarios you will have 57 folders
    Part finished Scenarios are stored in the same folder as the normal one

    How can you tell which folder relates to which route ?
    For example, which folder would contain the scenarios for Norfolk Southern N-Line ?

    On my back up drive (I have it on a separate portable drive) I have a folder named "My scenarios" and in it I have a folder with the name of each route. I simply put the scenarios into their respective folder. I also have a typed list of all the scenarios I have created for each route together with a record of the route reference number (see Peters note above) and the scenario number. That way I can keep track of where everything is.
