DTM F3 repaint of Milwaukee Road

We've all done that.
I actually renamed the second copy to .nm_Wi

For some strange reason I can only get the B units appearing in sim (as in able to load)!!!

The file structure is correct for the A units, correct shape files loaded into the correct place - I would love to be at the start position of all A units being gray & orange

Years of sorting out my own problems and I can't sort this simple one. I will wait for the updates to the texture files before trying again though those being incorrect would not have caused the problem I have. The B Units look good

Hi all,
To make life simple to all, I will re-upload the 3 MILW EDM F3 locomotives folders (all glitches have been fixed.)

Sorry for the snafu.

Rod, it maybe that the CabView file is not being "seen".

Thank you John - got it - F3_Cab_MILW grey_01.GeoPcDx is missing from the Cabview folder within the Diesel folder. Copied the F3_Cab_CGW_01.GeoPcDx and renamed it. Did I miss that from the instructions?



...and total success...



Within the Texture files it is the Hood_nmc.TgPcDx that has to be copied then renamed to;

Hood_nm.TgPcDx
Hood_nm_nmc.TgPcDx

then Hood_B_nmc.TgPcDx files that have to be copied then renamed to;

Hood_B_nm.TgPcDx
Hood_B_nm_nmc.TgPcDx

Really good reskins - thank you.

The files in the library have been updated.

Liveries are good now, but this is what you get without the cabview file called for in the F3A unit .bin files...no F3A units - I have re-downloaded the original FR UP from Steam as I wondered if I had something unusual missing - but looking at the .bin files the cabview called for is what follows;

F3_Cab_MILW grey_01.GeoPcDx

Copy the F3_Cab_CGW_01.GeoPcDx file from the CabView folder, rename it as above, then drop it back into CabView.




...and you get...



Is it possible that the "missing" F3_Cab_MILW grey_01.GeoPcDx has come from another reskin in the file library?

That explains all...could do with going inside the recent models or there being an updated readme

Thanks John,
