SD60M FA questions

[ossie]

Thanks very much Uli and Wade. That's a nice way to start my morning. It actually occurred to me last night that I (probably) had a solution right under my nose. When I was working on those MOW containers I messaged Tyler about using some pieces of one of his models to create air conditioners etc. By the time he'd got back to me I'd already worked out a way to do that with Andrey's model but Tyler did give me permission to use parts of his. His models are a re-skinner's dream the way he sets out his texture files so I'll be very surprised if I can't isolate a piece to cover the side of the step and re-do the logo. Keep an eye on the F/L.

Sorry folks! Tim got me just as I was turning off the machine for the night to say the upgrade was a downgrade. It appears I went a bit too hard with the vacuum when I was cleaning out the shape files etc and took blank.dds out by mistake. Hopefully the new upload of the blank file fixes the issues but I'll check in first thing in the morning to make sure all is good with it.

Open Rails 2025-03-01 11-04-30.png I was working on the UP set last night and realised the "step FA" I put together and uploaded for the CIT locos was incorrectly positioned. For anyone who downloaded it, I think the step FA would have looked like it does on the UP loco? 6034 now has the correctly positioned version on it. Apologies and I'll get a replacement uploaded soon.

The UP set, hopefully error free this time, is now in the F/L.

Hi Pete and all,

I installed your UP SD60M set and it looks great, thanks a lot!

Just one caveat: Since I had used the BN_SD60M_9201 shape file from the SD60M Coal Train set for your CIT SD60M set I tried to also use it for your UP set and it did not work for me. The upper headlight and the ditchlights of the UP repaints are blanked out if you use the BN shape. No problem for me since I have the UP_SD60M_2242 shape file from the UP on the Green River route. Everything looks good with that shape.

EDIT: I Just noticed that the repaint UP_SD60M_2334 shows as "2243" in game.

Cheers!
Uli

Thanks for the kind words and info Uli! I'll alter the info. Someone mentioned they'd used the UP shape file for the CIT locos fine so I ASSUMED (instead of testing ) that the reverse would apply. Thanks heaps!
