NSWGR D53 and D55 in action.

Midland

Sphenodon Punctatus
Thank you for these new toys Pete. I thought I'd share some screenshots of them in action already.

Here they are earning their keep with a 1900 tonne coal train...













Unfortunately the train stalled 'coz 5585 couldn't keep steam up for some reason. We found some diseasels to finish the job! :hehe:


The annoying thing from my point of view was that the original versions I had worked perfectly for me along with their lovely twinkles smoke.

I am now a really useful engine down and I sir, demand recompense! You shall be hearing from my legal counsel in due course! :hehe:



Cheers

PS My missus wants to know if you can do that to me? She says at least it's one way I could lose weight... :(
 
Nix --

I've had the same.

Something to do with pollys (not the parrot type) I think.

Try removing a few of the freight cars - I found that reducing the lengh of the train got me steaming again.

(And yes, it didn't seem to happen with the earlier version.)
 
Actually the locos were the first things I placed and 5585 was like that right from the start.

If I reinstall the original ones and change the kuid to give xxxxx:xxxxx:2, would that mean that if I use them in uploaded sessions people would get the newer version?

is the poly slider set to maximum? I would hazard a guess that the cdp's may have been fried by the dls. I'm sure I placed a spare config in there with the twinkles smoke effect as well

hehe freightwatchers hey. Nix can you email me? before you do lets check if it is the polys, have you tried loading the loco in a scenery devoid layout by itself to see if it shows? also is your poly setting set to maximum I know its high in polys but not as high as the 59class or the 38's

cheers

just recently i had to reinstall trainz and when i put the content back in i had the same issue with the NSWGR D-55, but i managed to correct the issue. there are two assest files i have listed for the D-55 not counting the tender, the assest files are kuid2:63971:69041:1 and kuid2:69041:2.
I added the last assest file and when i reloaded the game the D-55 was fine. not saying that will work but thats what i did and the D-55 appears fine. as can be seen below.

i did a test with many of the performance options set to minimum and the loco did not change appearance. granted the smoke stopped but the basic shape and appearance stayed the same.

The sliders were maxed out anyway.

One baseboard, 70m of MP track wood and D5585 shows up perfectly.

Put it in the map as used above and it shows perfectly.

Looks like it's reconciled itself to a life of slavery and sheer hard work in Midland's sessions! :hehe:

I have e-mailed you but as I brought this up in a public forum I should declare that it's working okay in that same public forum.

Maybe my poor old motherboard was feeling a bit tired when I tried playing with the new toy?

Anyhoo all's well that ends etc etc.




Cheers

Great work
 
PGibbon's just released Hay Bch on 2006(with my mods).With regard to 2004 I've noticed the main bogie of 55 gets a dark colour/texture .
cheers

Maybe some one can tell me the difference, have 2 versions of both 5308 and 5585 by ad602000 and nswgr_46class somehow, both showing version 2.9 the first one with the new format kuid 2:63971:69037:3 / 38:2 and 41:3 / 40:2 the other one with the original format kuid 73150:100301/ 306 and 308 / 303 excuse the shortened format loco / tender both seem to use the same assets can't see any reason to keep both myself

Any comments?

The versions by me is the are the latest versions.

The other one is a fixed version by god only knows who.

All the stuff under my name are Peter's orginal meshs released with core updates to new format versions.
Anything released over the past 2 1/2 years under Peters kuid are just patch ups done by whoever under the DLS clean up.

Most of the DLS clean up items that have been so called released under Peter's name have changes made to them beyond the scope of the DLS clean up rules and have not improved the items in anyway and are with out Petres approval or permission.
