    Maybe I took the wrong time to download. Because mine is on Cable not DSL. Anyway I got my download complete and ready to use.

    Smile,

      More important than download speeds, it helps to support the site financially.

          Done. Not very straightforward to delete messages.

          Oh well, anyway I am going to try downloading that file again today. There was a problem with my provider, but it was cleared up yesterday. Everything was rebooted last evening, so it should be back to normal today.

          BTW, I am a Paid Member and proud of it, as well I have Very Hi-Speed Internet (when it is working), they are doing a lot of construction nearby, so that may be affecting it at times.

          I will let you know what happens. It was strange that the other file, the Activity Empire Builder East just took about 12 seconds to download, right after I tried the cab download.

          ************************************************** **********************************

          Ok, just tried it again and same problem. So I went to search in the F/L and it does not show up there under a search in the "Cab" tab. See the pic for my screen shot. So I saw a cab I need, UP SW cab, so I clicked on it and 22 seconds later I have a cab. It is a mystery to me as well!?? That was about 1 minute after trying your cab.

            I am using your ORTS Evolution Cab for several of engines. I also have run 'MSTS Check' to clean up many errors in the cabviews. I have one nagging problem with ES44v3. All the .cvf files seem to be missing a .ace file name on line 698:

            Graphic ( "..\\..\\Common.Cab\\ES44v3\" )

            Its probably not important, but is the only item that keeps me from having a clean MSTS Check report for my Cabviews.

              Hello!

              Yes, there seems to be this line that points to nothing To be honest, I have no idea why it's there. I can't remember what I was trying to do with it.

              You can get rid of the error easily by adding this at the end of the line in question: "blank.ace"

              It should now look like this: Graphic ( "..\\..\\Common.Cab\\ES44v3\\blank.ace" )

              The "blank.ace" is already in that folder, so you should get no error messages anymore.

              Thank you very much for writing and using my cabs!

                Hi Borislav, when I found that error I added the blank ace to correct it. Not knowing anything about cab files or the construction of them I hoped this would work, never caused a problem so I just left it there. Nice to know I was on the right track.

                ES44v3 is one of my favorites. Are you at all interested in 3D cabs for OR?
                Regards, Gerry

                  Hello and thank you very much for your kind words, Mr Steele!

                  I must say I know nothing about 3D modelling. I prefer 2D Photorealistic cabs because those 3D cabs look cartoonish to me.

                  I would like to update all of my previously released cabs to ORTS specifications (Dash-9, AC4400, SD70ACe and SD70-M2), and those are the projects I have set for myself in the future. Unfortunately, I have very little free time, so I cannot say when they will be released.
