Hey H, I'll take a 220 on the Oxford if you can or the 390 on any British electric track. Anything! lol..

I need to find this 220. That looks like one fantastic unit.. I have been wanting the Virgin train specifically.. (envy here for that train).

you got it
you have given me a lot of happy moments with your creatioms
the 220 is just trains

Man H, massively appreciated.

I just found the 220 at Just Trains. Downloading now. Looks like one awesome train.

H, if you can just tell me how to drop the trains Assets into the Editor section, that would be fine. I find it interesting to know how that thing works. Once I saw the tutorials at YouTube, I saw how easy and a bit fun it is to move things around.

That antique A-4 is looking pretty good. What a nice bit of model work on that thing.

Great job on finding that Bill..
Theres a couple mods for it out there too.. The one on Art-Train doesnt work though. besides, i think its pirated.. The other is the Grand central livery which is a Black with Yellow design and looks quite nice ( and works too ).. I just cant remember where i found it :( :( .. The top speed of the 221 is only 127 mph, but she reaches it effortlessly..
I Attempted to find the Acela liveries for it and found some acela liveries, but since they didnt work, they must be for a different model.
i WISH we had these trains out here in oregon, but for some god awful reason unknown to me, amtrak chose to go with a Talgo DMU..
Will let you know if i ever get the graphics formats figured out enough to do some liveries..
 
Thanks Pam. I'll check that out.

I think your issue is that paint schemes might be for TS instead of RW. (What ever the first version of RW was called). I could be wrong on that though.
 
Rail Sim, and yeah, thats a possibility, even though supposedly, railworks is nothing more than rail sim renamed and reboxed. I dont really believe that, but it is true from a historical and business standpoint. The name change happened when RS.com took over the product from EA Games..

Another possibility is that i have the wrong version of the product the paints are for. Instead of Joe blows F-7 for example, I have sally soccermoms version..

The reason the acela livery doesnt work is something completely different. I did some poking around in the railworks folder and found the installer for the acela livery ( as opposed to the rpk file ). IT wants a serial number and registration, so, it seems pretty obvious to me that this is a rip off someone did, and god only knows wher the original came from..

eeeeks! Roger that..

Sorry to hear that on the Acela. I would like to have the Amtrack also. We need a good Amtrack route.

They must be pretty dang difficult to make if none are coming out, or at least not alot of them are coming out. You would think with all the Editing equipment (software) out, that tons of scenery would be flowing out of everywhere....


I think that RW, from bits and pieces I have read, has some updates to it over Rail Sim.



On the DUM 220 I got last night.... (yes, the saga continues)

Seems I picked the only one single Scenario that works with the 220, lolololol.... LOLOLOL.... ARRGHH!!!!!

Alll the rest crashed on startup. Had all these warning messages, no connections ahead, etc, etc... Only 'Exit' or 'Edit' as my options into scenarios.

I must need a update or something.

At least one of the many Scenarios worked. :d I am glad for that. Awesome train. Thanks Pam for the heads up on it.

:ernae:


I might slap some Amtrack paint on the side of it. :d
 
Thats not the 220 doing that.. As soon as you said the words Edit and Exit, i had a cold chill run down my spine and a hollow pit in my stomach..
I've been having a "few" issues with RW since i completely re-installed it.. The first issue ( and tell me if this sounds familiar ) comes when i load the cotton and northern route on a free roam scenario. It reports broken consists at these GPS coordinates that are like, a million miles away from anything developed on the route, and gives me the option to edit or exit. IF i edit, and simply open the editor and save it, rw reports and extra "2" broken consists for a total of 4 and gives me the option again to edit or exit.. Mind you, up until this fresh install with the newest update, colton and northern worked perfectly.
I Finally got the DD-40X to install ( after at least 20 tries) by downloading a fresh copy ( which makes three copies on my machine now ) and installing it ( now to figure out how to make it WORK like a DD-40 can. seriously, at the moment, it cant pull a twig off a tree)..
I'm telling ya, I think someone broke something in this last update. Something serious and not fun at all.. You have two trains right now that are both exhibiting the same problem with scenarios, and i have a scenario which i know for a fact once worked but no longer does.. And i dont think we're the only two people having these issues.. :(..
 
I'm gonna put the 220 through its paces and run every scenario it came with.. May do that with all my routes.. I want to find this bug and lock it down.. Will keep everyone informed..

In regards to the 220's paint kit, its quite confusing. there are four main files, and they are all identical, not to mention that everything is a rectangle and finding the nose of the train is downright mind boggling.. And these guys couldnt keep it simple.. After you paint the psd files, you have to convert them from psd to another format and then possibly convert that into yet a third format. i dont know, i'm very confused there.. I'll learn what i can though.. :)
 
I'll be glad when they start doing routes with american names, like from mules Ass ( Wyoming? ) to Hell ( michigan ) ...

lololol....

I learned a long time ago to make proper paint kits. People love to paint their own skins on things they get. If you make it difficult, less people will make them, and less enthusiasm grows....

Welllllllllllllll, i succeeded on the DD-40 for the rock island livery, but, so far have failed miserably on the class 221..
Now i gotta edit the dd-40s performance ( couldnt pull a booger out of its nose ) and sounds ( sounds like a chipmunk convention played in slow motion ).. Oh well, for six bucks i cant complain..
If anyone wants the DD-40 rock island livery let me know.. You'll need to edit the files if you want to keep the UP livery as I also have the weathered DD-40 and can have it either way on my machine..
