SD40T-2 installation problem

[Machinist]

These re-paints are being used in Tennessee Pass, so I'm requoting, just in case...

To play SD40T-2 SP in other route than Donner Pass you have to check the blueprint RSC | DonnerPass. The engines' names start with "DP" (DP SD40T-2 SouPac, for example).

Supposing that instructions of manual copy and paste of cab folder and .geo file were done correctly, vehicles in the Editor list, but showing only couplers when placed in track, usually is due to:
a) game cache files not cleared;
b) Blueprint flyout (in case RSC|DonnerPass) unchecked;
c) Deffective installation of DLC DP pack (if you can place and see DP SD40T-2 SouPac but not the re-paint, that's not the case);
d) user don't own the DLC DP Pack (maybe it sounds weird, but it happens a lot).

Cheers,
Doc.

AH haaaa Found the problem....

In the re-paint pack the path is built:
\Assets\RSC\Donner Pass (with a blank between Donner and Pass)

However the correct is:
\Assets\RSC\DonnerPass

So the pack is installing the re-paints into a new Provider|Product folder, check it out and you'll probably see "\RSC\Donner Pass" and "\RSC\DonnerPass" folders.

One possible fix to the problem (I can't do it once the pack is too much large and will fill my default folder with others I don't wanna now):
a) unzip the pack;
b) rename the extracted folder from Donner Pass to DonnerPass.
c) copy and paste the \Assets folder into \Railworks folder, and the follow the install instructions as per Readme.

Other possibility is check in the Blueprint flyout either for RSC|DonnerPass and RSC|Donner Pass.

By your own risk...

That's it!

Cheers,
Doc.

Note: I'm sincerely surprised with this, after 650 downloads of pack. I just checked the RW3 installation and the name of product folder, even before SP-1, was DonnerPass ever. Can't understand how others got to use the re-paints, unless they noticed the typpo (if is a typpo) and have corrected silently. Or then the re-paint pack is meant to use both product folders, which is very unusual, BTW

Wha-hey, the unpack and change to DonnerPass strategy did the trick. I had noticed that the files were in a different folder but didn't think much of it and had ticked the 'Donner Pass' box. Thanks!

I don't think checking the blueprint box for both DonnerPass and Donner Pass both works because I tried that. When I get home I'm going to see what happens if I just move the repaints from Donner Pass to DonnerPass.

For what it's worth I just moved the SD40T-2 repaint folders into the DonnerPass folder, and now they show up just fine.
