    Hey all,

    So I see several people are having problems getting timetables to show in the game. After several months of trial and error (mostly error) using Muff's cooking and packing fix (big shout out to). I figured the easiest would be create a complete timetable plugin that anyone can download and test with. The plugin can be downloaded from,
    https://1drv.ms/f/s!ApcjTh86q9jagXLQvg7N50NnvNuP?e=bjCHgm

    It is a very simple timetable on the ECML (figured everyone should have this route) with just one service running from Peterborough to Doncaster with a couple stops on the way. All info was taken from Realtimes Trains and is not meant to totally accurate. So what's included:
    • the raw plugin with timetable and bat file to simulate the timetable (edit this file for your editor location).
    • the parboiled data tracks for the timetable (note if you edit the timetable in anyway, it will need to be re-simulated).
    • the cooked timetable (ready to be served to your guests).
    • the final DLC pak entrée.
    For testing purposes I recommend working in reverse order,
    1. Copy Pak file to TSW (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Train Sim World 4\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC) and open game to see if test timetable is available.
    2. Copy plugin to PC Editor plugin folder (..\TrainSimWorld4MOD\TS2Prototype\Plugins). Open Muff's Easypaking tool (TSW4EasyPaking.exe). Follow prompts with plugin name THB_PBD_Test. Copy Pak file to TSW and repeat step 1.
    3. Open editor and verify plugin & timetable is visible in content browser (you can open the timetable but don't save anything). Select Cook Mod button and select THB_PBD_Test. Wait till cook process is complete (I have provided the log from my cook to compare to if required). Repeat step 2.
    4. Open and make a change to timetable. Save, close editor and run simulate.bat (after you edited it). After parboiling is complete, open editor and see if everything is okay. Repeat step 3.
    Notes:
    Every time you change and save the timetable, you will need to re-simulate before you cook the timetable. If the data tracks are out of date, the timetable won't work.

    I hope this helps

    I'm getting an error when I try to put the timetable in a folder, something about the uassest being unrecognizable?
