Hi I am wondering how the registration process goes on the Virtual Motive Division website. They have content available for download but it says you must register first. Problem is, there is nothing that I can see to click on to register. Front page says it's under construction but I thought it was odd the downloads are still visible. Any ever use this site? Thanks.
Virtual Motive Division website?

There is a registration page
Okay, here's the problem: When you click on "ReSkin Kits", the page requires you to log in. If you want to register, you're greeted with this:
Not Found
The requested URL /your-account/ was not found on this server.
It's impossible to register (at the moment).

VMD is no longer active ... Then to access the old VMD webpage, the only way to do so is via the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20060513064919/http://www.virtual-motive-division.com/html/us_rs.html
Some links are dead

If only NS37 would put his old VMD models on his site or on the DLS.
Sorry, that is theft of Payware.
You could give the wayback machine a whirl, some people have been able to get the GP40s and the Demo SD70. Better than wishing.

Not exactly what I had in mind, I was thinkin' of his BNSF GP60s. I already have their GP40s and the demo 70.
(If anyone wants a link via the Wayback Machine, here ya go)

You might be thinking of the wrong site...
If your talking the GP60M and GP60B, those came out with TS12... I remember the BNSF ones, but I think those were a reskin someone did.
Maybe Justin can jump in here and comment.
Well look at that.... I learn something new every day.
Someone did a Reskin of the GP60M and Bs from TS12, I thought at one point they were on the JR site itself.

I think that was Kai, I asked him about it and he said they were personal, so he couldn't give 'em to me. He's not able to release them as Justin wouldn't allow it. Honestly I'd pay for the H1 GP60B...

what's a normal map?
The GP60M and GP60B that was offered on VMD is far out of date and wouldn't work in a current copy of Trainz since they are from 2004. I updated the ATSF units for inclusion into TS12 but that was in 2010 and had no real plans to release updates to the BNSF warbonnet and H1 (B unit) H2 and H3. There will be a completely new set of GP60 models arriving later this year (we hope).
When the first set was completed years ago there was hardly any information available to me to aid in construction but over the years since I have gathered very detailed diagrams, images, and information that will result in a better overall asset than any reworking the old models can do.

Thanks for sharing that, Justin!
Would it hurt for me and Chris to toy around with the old ones to see if we could get 'em working with newer versions? Or do you think they're too far gone?

Anyone remember those GP7/9s that VMD had?
nickrailfan
Lord of the Executives
Yup. They were on the partially rebuilt site but then they cut the links.
Yeah, I archived the ones I want to keep. They were "ok" for the time, but looking back now they are kinda cartoonish compared to newer content made by others.

Well they're better than that first GP7/9 that came out with like TS04
