SD40-2 CN Wide Nose Add-On Not showing in game

[Janine]

I have now activated all of the SD70 assets (packs 1, 2 and 3) as well as the Wide Nose ... funny is I cannot place the Wide Nose, nor the three unique cargo waggons that come with that DLC. I also cannot place the SD70ACe UP and RG, however I can place SD70ACe BNSF, SD70MAC BNSF and SD70 NS. Why??? *lol*

See other topic. At least we're getting somewhere.

I have no problems with the UP sd70Ace, for me its just the sd40 packs, so that leads me to believe the problems that the sd40 has are different than the problems the sd70 has, what ever that means I am unsure.

I also contacted support o the issue and got a response that went something like this: "we are aware of the problem, we are trying to fix it but we aren't really sure how" so that was reassuring.

..., we are trying to fix it but we aren't really sure how" so that was reassuring.

Reassuring but I think "but we aren't really sure how" is also somewhat scary at the same time. ;-)

Okay, so sumfin is obviously bugged. Good to know. Because I had no idea anymore what to do to actually see them in-game. All files are there, so what's the issue here ... oh well.

Did anyone ever solve this problem? -as I have it too! I have contacted RSC several times with no viable solution. I purchased the HN and the WN sd40-2's when they were on sale as the originator here described. One thing I noticed is that they disappear after checking them on the right side of the editor. (They will not show up on the left side and then if you look back on the right side they are no longer there.) I have used RWtools to substitute them and when you start the scenario they show up on the error list "could not load consist..., etc." -If any one has found a solution -- Please Help.

Another observation regarding this problem. The .pi file is missing (RSC never provided one during installation) in the Package Info directory. This could have a bearing on these problems. I noticed that one developer made his own .pi file for several "RMR" locomotives so one must be required???

[Mickey]

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
Someone at RSC requested that I rename my 'steamapps' file and restart Steam. All new railworks files were downloaded and the SD40HN and SD40WN engines now show up and can be used. I then copied all of the new files over my existing files (replacing them) and renamed my original steamapps directory to 'steamapps.' I am finally (22 Days Later) a Happy Camper!

Well the latest update fixed my SD70ACe pack. I wonder what other things it fixed?!?

[Janine]

Lol, so basically you did what I did so many times already and it never helped me ... you're a lucky guy, congrats. However, I'm still stuck here with SD70ACe and also SD40 WN. I won't do another full download of all extensions. It took me well over a full day each time I tried and it never got me anything. I have given up on this. Sadly, but I did.

I just verified the cache and mine showed up.

Hi
I have a slightly different probblem with the engines in this thread.
Only just purchased them in the last couple of days so seem to have avoided the unplaceable loco problem, They both work fine
but...
SD70ACE I cant find the "Colorado Ski Train" Scenario
SD40 W I cant find any scenarios, despite the manual alluding to them.
SD40 W I dont seem to have the wagons included with this pack (although Ive probably got them as part of something else as they seem familiar)

So I'm wondering whether its just me (with the first 2 issues anyway), I verified cache last night with no missing files just to be sure.

Well, I couldn't just give up and re-installed the game once more after I read two players got their stuff running after the most recent patch ... and wow ... I can actually EVENTUALLY see and play them, both the Wide Nose and the Rio Grande / UP SD70ACe. So it was definately not our end's issue, it must have been theirs and they seem to have eventually fixed it.

Life is indeed good.

Do you see them in the first "collections" menu ?
