I downloaded the repaint file of the VR Alco RS11 nh from Blackjack.
I'm not quite sure just how to get it loaded.
The read me file says just to unzip to any folder, then copy the Assets& Content folder to your railworks directory.
then the main Geopcdx and the rs11 GeopcDX To the repaint folder. Not to sure how to do this.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Bob

Hello,

You need to already own the RS11 model from virtualRailroads. Assuming you do, browse to the following directory in explorer:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\virtualRailroads\vR_Alco_RS11\DieselLoks\RS11

In that directory, find the three *.GeoPcDx extension files. Select them all, right-click, and COPY them.

Now browse to the directory where the NH repaint gets put. It will be in the same root as above but under \DieselLoks\RS11_NH. Paste the three *.GeoPcDX files into it.

Those are the core model files that the repainter's cannot distribute since they belong to the payware model.

Now start the game and the NH model will work.

Thanks Diego
I will do what you said. I thought that's what I tried to do but I was only copying two of the GeoPcdx files.
Will give it another try.

I'm still not doing something right. I have the VR ALCO RS11 NH showing up in the list of RS11 Engines but it won't load on the track.
I hear it click on the track but it does not show up. However when I hit run the scenario the couplers show up on the track.
Now I found the Geopcdx files there were 4 of them namely Main, Main a, RS11, RS11 a. All in the RS11 Folder
First I copied Main and RS11 to the Alco rs11 NH FOLDER. That did not work so then I copied the four GEOpcdx file to the NH folder that's when I could at least load the couplers on the track.

Not sure what to do now.

Hi again,

Do you have virtualRailroads selected in the equipment fly-out on the right side of the scenario editor? You won't see the repaints if the base assets aren't enabled in the scenario you are using.

Thanks,
Diego
