can a few people try this out and let me know if it works?

it is an updated PRR P-5a. I built it in a weird way that might not work correctly for everyone. it has a "special" issue when it comes to working bogie's,

It has a Fixed bogey in the center and swinging bogie's on the ends.

Code: Select all


|_______________|
 X-X  O-O-O  X-X
By making it a single unit, the middle Bogey always comes off the track because it is so long in LoMo. soo... I chopped it up into several "parts" and decided to try it like this... it tracks much better but I'm not sure if it is stable.

let me know.


PS. If this works, then we get a few New Electrics that have similar issues.

wow...can“t wait to get home to try it.
Great to here that some old era stuff is coming out.
Are you planning to do some more from the first half of the last century?
e.g. some F units in MHQ would be awesome.

but back to topic....I will try it and if something is wrong than I write you.

I've been watching it for some time, and I didn't see any problems. Not even in the small corners.
It looks great too.

Looks very nice there. Runs fine through the curves and straights, no real issues. There's occasionally a little clipping at the ends , but it's a long vehicle, it's to be expected. That's no big deal though.

the clipping is enhanced by the invisible cars that you don't see. it iactually an MU that overlaps and lomo hates that.

thanks for the info guys.

I'll re-code the sounds and toss it into the pile for release.

HO HO HO!

Merry Christmas! and a Happy Release!

Release?

YES!

I did not realize it has been 9 months since an update. especially since a lot of files in here are dated from June or so.

there have been other releases in other sets and projects in that time frame.

The new pack is MegaPack 1. It is all combined Pack for the Cargo, Amtrak/Via and the Classic Passenger/Metro sets.
it is a large pack, 98 megs to download and requires 500mb free to install (ultra compression).

there are a few minor bugs in it and it is really not ready for release, But hey! it is Christmas! We can patch the bugs up later, right? I thought was going to post this Christmas eve, well vacations and work have made that impossible. it was today or next year.


I also have several more Items that I "forgot" to toss in there. That means we will see an update much sooner then another 9 months.
Hopefully, the new system that is in place for updates, will allow for weekly or monthly updates now.

the new Pack is on AMI now for download.

I Wish Everyone a Happy Holiday!

there is a warning that the update can screw with saved games, because some older .dats got updates and so forth. and install the auto industry mod and discover the magic of plastic pellets.

cute little round plastic pellets, bring a tear to my eye. :p
