CLUB CAR EARLY RELEASE: Amtrak P42 (Phase Vb)

Upon installation the locomotive becomes Faulty for me.. I've deleted, re downloaded and installed multiple times but it shows up as faulty still. When I went to the errors/warnings window I found a couple hundred errors on them.. Most are along the lines of "illegal types of operand + line (x)". Also a lot of "function GetString not declared, line (x)". Any help would be great.
 
Yep, that was it. It works now. Absolutely amazing job with this locomotive... runs and sounds extremely well!
 
We will have more info on the extended support and updates on the site very soon. But those customers who add this item to their order will have different support options as well as priority updates to any updates the engines get. Give us some more time to outline the whole program and we'll have it up on the site. You are not required to purchase it.

Thanks

Mike
I didn't bother buying the "Extended Support" with my P42 order. Is there someway I can still get it?
 
Im thinking yes, but you know. Lol. And you guys being serious about the autographed pic? I mean thatd be pretty cool. ;) :P
 
Hey there guys, I love the locomotive and the quality is outstanding. I thought I would help provide some feedback just so you are aware. I have been putting some hours in playing with the model and I have found an interesting quirk I believe to be unintentional. When blowing the horn the engine goes through the sequence of flashing the ditch lights and sounding the bell. However, I have noticed that this messes with the noise mechanics of the bell when the user operates it. To be more specific, the air release noise that you get after turning the bell off. Normally (I am assuming normally, because I have heard it a few times before) the 'hiss' of the relief valve (or what I am assuming is a relief valve) comes just after switching the bell off. However, after having the horn sequence automatically turn the bell on, it seems to swap this around and play the sound only when you initiate the bell using the B key. Now, I would imagine this is because this feature is a simple sound function played every other time the "B" key is used and because of this, the script is thrown off after the bell is activated without the use of the keyboard shortcuts. Of course, you all may already know of this, but I figure I would do my part to give constructive feedback for your content incase you were not aware. Despite this small hiccup, I still find this model to be absolutely terrific and will be using it regardless.

thanks again,

yep that is because certain trainz messages do not happen when you think they should/would. there is no native tie-in to the bell from the cab without workarounds in script. the bell itself seems to be a bolted on after thought in this sim. in TS12 there is a bell state function but it does not pass the "NotifyBell" message when used like the interface or the keyboard key does. i didn't dislike it enough to remove the effect all together (don't forget tfx library is used on many other JR items too). perhaps sometime i can enhance the cab code to counter this for all of them that have bells actuated by the horn. since the bleed off sound came much after the previous cabs and their script code, they all need an update.

Well, I for sure don't blame you for keeping it. I think the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks of the game, in all it is a very nice touch and adds a lot of realism to the cab. These are probably the moments you bang your head on your computer desk eh? Regardless, it's nice to finally have a quality model of this engine and with a spectacular cab no less! Thanks for your work, you've manage to outdo yourselves again. ;)

cheers!
 
Please help ... Today I bought a GE P42DC - AMTRAK (PHASE VB) and after installation I have 303 errors and the engine is broken ... The content has a red exclamation .. Any ideas ...

Go to JR's website, login, and then go to "My Downloadable Products" and try to re download them. What version of Trainz are you using?
 
Trainz Simulator 12 Version 49849

Unfortunately no change ...:'( Again I applied and withdrew the product ...
It's the first time I have this problem after purchase at Jointed Rail.
