Zebra not showing on F7 CN loco in QD editor

[jtousign]

Hi! I'm coming back from a big crash with TS on last december and mounting all my repaints back to my fleet. I'm rendered to the CN F7 which the zebra are showing right in the scenario editor. However the zebra is not showing up in the Quick Drive editor when building a new consist. Maybe Buzz could help on that issue. Thanks in advance!!

You will need to check the Searchlight Simulations Feather River assets to get the stripes to show I think.

Yes I know that for scenario editing but there is no way to check that box in the Quick Drive consist editor. See my screenshot

After you get the scenario loaded you have to go into the scenario editor and tick the SS boxes then the stripes should show up when you do the save. I'm not sure why you need to do this. Maybe one of the Searchlight guys can tell me if there is a way to fix this situation. There are other F7's that are the same issue. I wonder if you would add this asset to the route if that would do it? Have to mess around with this tonight.

The nature of the built in quick drive consist maker does not allow for "support folders" like the decals in the SS and a few other folders. When you make a regular scenario in the route/scenario editor you can select and activate the extra folders. Its a bit clunky to do it in Quick Drive and it will not save. It will need to be re-done each time.

BUT I have good news (sort of). Let us say you plan to use that locomotive in 2-3 routes. Go into the Route Editor (NOT the scenario editor) and activate \SearchlightSimulations\FeatherRiver. Save the route and now your loco will have the stripes whenever you load it in each route where you do that. Obviously if you plan to use the loco in 25 different routes, it will take you a while to set up. On the other hand, you will be activating decals for a half dozen other locos at the same time.

I have done this with the Portland Terminal route and the stripes on the B&M and MEC F7s show up just fine.

I hope that helps...

EDIT- Minor monkey wrench in the gears. That loco uses Kuju numbers so you will need to activate kuju\railsimulatorus in the route editor as well.

Thank you so much Overshoe, I'll try your hint later tonight and let you know. On another side, I noticed that the zebra on the F7 CN appears in one route only: Peace River!!! All others lead with no stripes!!! Maybe It can give a hint to find another clue Buzz??

YES! Overshoe, you give me a good hint for that issue, It works perfectly!!! Many thanks!!!

Here it is in Portland...

You will need to do the same for each route where you want to run the loco.

And adding to this enigma, in the Peace River route the SearchlightSimulation/FeatherRiver was not activated and It was the only route where I could saw the zebra!!! Anyway, I'm fully satisfied with your hint Overshoe and thanks again ;)
