SD70 10 engine/sound upgrade...

[spartantrain32]

I install the SD70 10 engine sound pack and it keeps erasing my SD70's. I always end up having to re-install my game just to get them back. Is there anyone who can tell me whats going on?, or if there is something i might be doing wrong? Please, and thanks.

Yes there is something serious that you are doing wrong. Is it erasing them or you just can't see them? Are they showing up in the left fly out?

[spartantrain32]

they do, and they wont show up. i have literally tried everything.

When Doc and I put the pack together I didn't like the idea of supplying a installer. I'm a manual install kind of guy, but Doc said an installer would allow more people to get the pack to work. I agree with that statement.But these loco packs being payware and not having to own them all is where problems exist. The potential problem with this pack is we made helper locomotives for all three packs, and the installer installed them whether you owned all three or not. So for instance, if you don't have SD70Pack01 but you have 02 and 03,after installation of the pack and when in scenario editor you would see; SD70ACe_UP as a choice to use, but because you don't own the pack, you will nothing on the tracks. With a manual install the user will install only what he needs. But that requires a little know how. Now were back to how many can do manual installs. What to do at this point? If you know how to do manual installs, do it. Extract the files from the pack and look through it. Copy and paste what you need based on what you want and own. If you need more help, pm me if you want or keep posting here. Buzz could also be very helpful, but he's busy painting so he won't have any time to comment.

i never use an installer. These problems happened when i manually install. I know how to Manually install too, which is why this problem confuses me.

Do you own all three packs. Lets start there.

[spartantrain32]

no, i own 2 and 3. i dont install the v1 files either.

Are you installing the WJDoc folder and the RailSimulatorUS folder. You need those for lighting and sounds. I have to bed down for the night now, so I will check on this tomorrow.

[spartantrain32]

Night, but yes, i do indeed.

I just copies the bins from my pack; SD70Pack02 into a fresh copy of the game, and they all show up. I really don't what's going on. If you can't get it to work the only option is not to use the pack. Sorry.
