Re: [Released] US/Canadian Pre-Amtrak/Metro Pack Ver 2.3
btw metrolink locos can only pull 6 cars max and they avoid double heading, unless its saturday\sunday and their is a nascar or big stadium event, they will have more then 6 cars and have a loco on each end. same goes with amtrak surfliner and prolly anyone else that uses f59's
Re: [Released] US/Canadian Pre-Amtrak/Metro Pack Ver 2.3
Look up the Cascades service in the northwest, it's always double headed with two F59PHI. Also every time I've seen one Metrolink's services doubled, they just coupled two consists together....

Re: [Released] US/Canadian Pre-Amtrak/Metro Pack Ver 3.0 12/08
I am sure that some of you have already noticed,
Some of the new megapack1 passenger cars are under "USP " now instead of "US Pass.".
The reason was that the prefix was eating to much space in the name and some cars were getting tricky to guess what was what, especially the commuter cars with coach and cab cars (I personally always bought the wrong one.. oops).
It should make it it a bit easier to read what you are buying, it should also help clean up the cargo part by not having to scroll through all the passengers stuff in the middle of the cargo pack if you're looking for cargo trains.
I am aware that it then places my passenger cars after the US set. possibly after other sets (Jose's comes to mind).
How is this working out?
Should I go ahead and start to convert all US Pass. to USP?

Re: [Released] US/Canadian Pre-Amtrak/Metro Pack Ver 3.0 12/08
I've been fine with the new prefix. Actually, I like it better, since it's easier to find the set, with it not being in the middle of the cargo pack.
Re: [Released] US/Canadian Pre-Amtrak/Metro Pack Ver 3.0 12/08
I think that is good. I also think that every type should have it's own prefix. (ex: Cargo would be USC, desials (SP) would be USD, steam would be USS and so on)

2 bugs I found and fixed...
Empire Builder Mail Express car had a minor typo in name (missing . after pass. I knew about this one for months).
ATSF E8 had the graphics of an E7.
both fixed in web update.

I have one question I know it would be the Amtrak pack but have you thought about making a Amtrak modern version of it?

I know SQ has already Made a superb model of the Greyhound Scenicruiser.
As I keep playing in Max I have always wanted to try my hand at one. there are just soooo many insane curves on it. getting the curves right and getting the textures to line up on top of it, hard to do..
In addition there are several paint jobs that we could use, the old Greyhound and the modern red white and blue, plus she wore a few other colors like trailways in her lifetime.
so.. I grabbed a makeshift blueprint and started to build away..
A few more details to go.. Window adjustment up top, move the mirrors a tad, Finish wrapping the bumper, and the front sign, top domes....
the hard part is done, Basic curves, texture mapping and a mountain climbed...

LMAO... sorry i had to post this, in looking for skins for this guy.... i ran into some pictures from a toy bus.. it looks so funny spinning it around in max, i swear it is the toy bus in plastic.
this overwrites the one in the Megapack. If You reinstall the MegaPack 1.0.2 or older, you will end up with the old Version
