In the "Search only file section", scroll down to find "MSTS Utilities".
In the "File Name", enter this; "combstuf.zip" (without the quotation marks).
Download the only file that is found.
After it's downloaded, unzip it. There is a read-me file included.
Simply put, copy the "combined.ref", and the "EZSTUFF3.BAT" to the main directory of "YOUR" route. Double click the "EZSTUFF3.BAT". It will take about 4 minutes for this file to run it's course.
Please note: By running the "EZSTUFF3.BAT", you will have all available objects to use in your route, but your route file size will now be almost 500mb in size.
Next, after running the batch file, you need to delete the "YourRoute.ref" (YourRoute, being the name of your route). You can also cut and paste the .ref file to another place on your hard drive, if you like, but I've found it unnecessary.
Before you delete (or move) the .ref file, take note of the name.
Next, you need to rename the "combined.ref" to your route name.
It "MUST" be renamed "EXACTLY" the same as the .ref file you deleted (or moved).
After having done all this, open the "Route Editor". You should now find a slew of objects to choose from.
Hope this helps.
Hawk
