Missing diesel exhaust on RW FURX SD-40-2 7244-7286.

Unread postby cvo2010 » Tue Sep 04, 2012 10:28 am

I have noticed missing diesel exhaust from engines a few times before, does some of the more knowable members of this forum, know what seems to cause this "error" ?.
The problem is showing up with the FURX #7244 and 7286 repaints of the SD40-2.
Somehow the exhaust seems to come from beneath the locomotives/the rails.
I have been trying to correct this without any luck.
A few pics of the actual engines.

Smoke emitters are a child object. If another child item is not found, the system advances the rest of the child objects to the prior position. I'd venture a guess that the re-painter aliased the sound (usually found in the indicated position) to another loco, and you don't have it.

Hi MadMike :D ,

Thank you very much for the quick reply to my question !!*ok*!! .
I ran the engines through RW Tools, and there was some missing files, but even after replacing the missing files, errors were still showing up, so I decided to do it the hard way, back-up everything, and let Steam verify the game cache.
That did the trick, everything is now working as it is supposed to do, well, atleast the FURX engines :D .
