Hi everyone,

I have started trying to install custom maps, I have tried doing it both manually and using the map shifter. The maps show up in the game under UserMaps, but it is greyed out and cannot be selected. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help

Try using this version of the map shifter: http://www.smrsimple.com/forums/viewtop ... =31&t=4253

I tried that version of the map shifter, still with the same result. I have attached an image of the menu screen

Thats not how you load maps. Custom maps can be played just like every other map. Which means you need to go to the new game menu and select the map that way.

This is how to install custom maps:

1. Delete the existing C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads! folder
2. Start a new game, that will create a new and clean C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads!\UserMaps folder
3. Copy the compressed (Zipped) file into the new UserMaps folder
4. Unzip it into the same folder.
5. Play and have fun

I just tried it, the map installs fine and is visible on the map select screen as it should be.
