HR Texture Pack not restored (Steam)

Hi there
I have FS2, Switzerland and HR Texture Pack installed on my PC. When i do a backup, Steam transfers 101799 MB to my USB stick. Now, when i tray to restore it on a 2nd PC, only FS2 and Switzerland are restored using up about 50 GB of memory space on the harddrive.
How can i restore the HR Texture Pack?

Thanks for answers
Felix

Felix,
you can restore your DLCs any time using the Steam client program. So please execute the Steam client on the new computer to get all your DLCs installed.

Thanks for the answer
The point is that a want to restore the DLC from my USB stick. The second PC is in a remot cabin, where internet access is very poor, it would take days to download 50 GB of data.

If Aerofly FS 2 is already running on your second PC then it should be sufficient to copy the missing files to the PC. We haven't tested this ourself however. But if the size of the Aerofly folder is greater than 80 GB it should be running fine with the high res images.

Hi
It worked! I copied all files to the stick. I had to reformat the stick to NTFS because there where more than 67.000 files to be copied which is over the limit of 65' files for FAT32. Than I copied all the files into the Steam folder on the 2nd pc, not overriding existing files. That did the trick.
