Tri-Rail repaint

[OpenRailer90]

Don't forget to do some Metra cars for us in the mid west.

There are no gallery bilevel cars in TS2015 yet.

Bummers.

I got a F45 in Metra paint and the coaches from the Pacific Surfliner in Metra paint ( better as nothing )

That would be appreciated and close enough until we get the real deal.

This repaint pack sounds very good LukRailAmerica! Good job!

[OpenRailer90]

I am highly anticipating this; will you have these vehicles alias the physics of the default base loco, for example if Fan Railer physics are installed all repaints will use them

What I don't like is that if the Tri Rail, Coaster, and Metrolink reskins are standalone and not drop-in replacements (only for SD+MIA Commuter Rail packs, Metrolink has multiple variants-picture below is what might be the best drop-in F59PH replacement. Best TriRail skin replacement recommendation is also below)

Really excited for this, I know painting those cars are quite challenging with the mirror reverse logo and text issues. I applaud you for taking this on and this is something those packs really needed from the start!

Thank you so much for making this possible, you sir deserve a gold star!

It appears to be very confusing to try to install, there are many unnecessary files for the drop-in replacement skins which should only have the texture files and loco icons.

The Coaster loco skin is not appearing, and all my Bomb Bilevels (except Miami) have the correct skin but lack the respective Metrolink and Coaster logos.

Luke, how do you like them so far? In game shots perhaps?

Now there's an understatement. It's a mess!

Which files exactly are needed for the repaint for the Miami route?

[bloodonfire3]

None. It overrides the current files for the Miami equipment and the Coaster Set. All others you have to physically search through each rolling stock and drop the Geo files in.

I think I've got the Tri-Rail covered, the basic repaint that is.

There are no decals with the logo on either locomotive or cars?

[bloodonfire3]

I(t doesn't appear that way. I certainly miss the old MSTS tools for repainting and viewing shapefiles, but since this is RW, it's a lot more demanding to be streamlined when there are more textures on the model itself. Kudos to the repainter of this pack.

[OpenRailer90]

The confusion is that only the repaint files are needed for the Metrolink, Coaster, and Tri-Rail sets; there are unnecessary simulation files and bin files that are not for the skin replacement that shouldn't be installed, overriding the physics mod

Awesome ! You finally got it.
