A tip for everyone who lost their platform/model data

Get the original 1362 files, and install the game somewhere else on your drive. I've found that not only does the game allow you to run multiple copies of itself simultaneously, but you can also run multiple versions as well. Both versions of the game will look to the same save file to locate your cars ,so open up 1362 and 1408 and you can rebuild by visual comparison much easier.

First, download the Launcher Setup, and run it.

When you get to this step, do not proceed yet. Change the installation directory to something that reflects its use. I changed mine to C:\ProgramData\Automation1362. From here, proceed as you normal would throughout the rest of the installation.

The launcher should automatically update the game to B1362.
