Chicago Bi-level reskin issue

I'm trying to repaint the Chicago Racetrack Metra Bi-Level coaches in Virgina Railway Express livery but I'm having major issues. I can't find the file to repaint the sides of the cab car and I'm also having trouble repainting the sides of the trailer cars with the logos I placed lying behind the bars and hard to see. Any help on which files for these car located? I've repainted the sides of the Trailer Car in the GX_NS_Extrior03.TgPcDx file and this is what happened as shown in the shot. If nothing can be done, might as well do it on the Caltrain Bi-Level another time.

First, nice job so far! Second, I'll take a look through the texture files when I get a chance later this evening. !!*ok*!!

I just checked the files, and I'm just as bewildered as you are. The only side textures I found are in the Trailing Car texture file. I'm not sure, but it appears that the coach cars and the cab car share a side texture, but that's just my **!!2cents!!**.

That was my thought too but it turns out that the reskin only applied to the trailing car, not the cab car.

Hmm... Maybe someone else who knows more about repainting that I do can help. !**conf**!

You know how you can find this out? Take the textures one at a time. Put a .xx suffix on the file name do a restart and see where the missing textures show up.

Hmm, interesting. I might need to try that sometime.
