    Sd- 40-2

    I like what has been done in this version seems to work pretty good but, my sd 40-2 will not show up? I don't know why? has any one had this problem. the only thing I could think of would be the night cab I downloaded but it only lights up the dials. Could someone help please.

    Can you be more exact as to which file is "my sd 40-2"? I have 260 SD 40-2s in my trainset.

      He's talking about the Default TA SD40-2 I believe as I have experienced that myself but don't use those anymore.

        I use Luke's Scenic Sub replacements for my default SD40s, but I didn't have any trouble with the TA version either.

          I don't have an ENG with the file name of "Default TA SD40-2".

          BUT sd402.eng in folder SD402 runs fine in OR.

            Yes I am sorry about that. The default sd402. It has the cab view but in # 2 view outside view they are invisible. these are the ones that came with MSTS. The only thing I have changed on them is I added the night cab view from long ago. The one that just makes the gauges light up at night they made one for the dash 9 and the acela , hhp ect.

                He installed a new cab in it, I think.

                  Should have no affect on the external view.

                  What happens when you open sd402.s with Shape Viewer?

                    I don't know. I took it off because I deleted MSTS but, Reinstalled MSTS because of OR multiplayer. I L-O-V-E Run 8. And I have had MSTS since day 1 so, I guess I will reinstall it and see. Get back to you soon on that but, has anyone run OR in multiplayer yet?.

                      Ok it would not open the shape in conbuilder which I use the shape program in. It says error 5 invalid procedure call or argument. Could the cab lighting thing cause it to fail? It is the sd402nt file that I used from the files section. it is kind of old but looks cool. Should I redownload the sd402 file? Thanks

                          I see that open rails does not still work correctly. Maybe the next release will fix things. The sd 40-2s are invisible. I see the smoke exhaust but that is it. I guess no one one knows the fix yet. Hey run8 is great. Later.

                            Where can we get the units?
                            Multiplayer in the experimental release works well and we have seen sessions with more than 30 people working without a problem. You can see some pictures here https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showth...er-Screenshots

                              If running the default sd 40-2 from MSTS. Insure the shape file is corrected per this link from steam4me http://msts.steam4me.net/tutorials/fix_sd402.html .
