ATSF F7 Bluebonnet/Yellowbonnet

[AdmiralLeviathan]

Any interest in these? Both of these paints are already in the file library for the Britkits F7 and DTM F7, none for the default F7. I decided to give repainting the units a try and this is how they turned out;




Colors might be slightly off, I went by eye from a handful of reference pictures that were probably off-color anyway.

EDIT: The whole gang in case anyone missed it from the "Any route any era" thread;

Very good job! The colors look a bit weathered, but in good shape.

Looking great, thanks.

The Bluebonnet is perhaps a bit too dark in contrast with the others.

Nevertheless, most welcome units. I never liked the MSTS conversions.

I'm currently packaging these for release, should be ready by this weekend.

Please keep in mind that you will have to unpack the "RailsimulatorUS" .AP file in order to properly install the reskins, I haven't found a way to bypass this yet.

Why?

I must be doing something wrong. When I select the Bluebonnet or Yellowbonnet engines, I get the red ones.

Following the readme closely, I unpacked the RailsimulatorUS archive, copied the files from the download into the correct folder, copied the shape files over to the correct folder (the readme is wrong), cleared the blueprint cache.

Still, the engines are red, in the scenario editor and in game, even when I swap them using RW-Tools.

I checked the engine blueprint and it does seem OK, the geometryID reference is OK. The texture files are in the proper place.

He only painted the nm files, the nmc's are still the red unit so that means your details are not turned up high enough. They do work.

Ah, that's what the nmc's are for. Can I re-use the same texture files from the nm files on the nmc files? Or are there enough differences which would require me to repaint them separately?
