An Amtrak NPCU is coming to a Train Sim near you! Still lots to fix, but it's finally coming together.

A big thing people ask for on F40s these days are the flashing ditchlights. I simply took the script directory and made it go to the Searchlight scripts for the F40PH-2CAT Enhancement. Still have to figure out the Input Mappers and how I would copy them (most likely a batch file).

Requirements as of now:
EMD F40PH Loco Add-On (base model)
North Jersey Coast Line (physics, temporary)
Peninsula Corridor: San Francisco - Gilroy (required for the enhancement packs)
The Audio Shack's Fallery Cab Car Sound Enhancement Pack (sounds)
Searchlight Simulations EMD F40PH-2CAT Sound Enhancement Pack (scripts)

It's highly unlikely I can release this in its current condition. A lot needs to be done. *!sad!*

I will post more updates as the time comes closer.

Any chance of seeing a version without all the enhancements? Either way, you are doing a great job on this repaint... !!howdy!!

I mean, without the enhancements, it really takes away from the experience. I'll see what I can do though, and thanks! !!*ok*!!

I have all of the required assets, so I have no problem with that so far.

Looks like a great job!

I'm with ET on enhancements, but may have to let moths out of my wallet. !*hp*!

I'll see what I can do in terms of enhancements. Don't get anything you don't want until I can confirm an official release on this.

In the meantime, here's a video showing off the sounds. The sounds might be payware. The repaint itself will be free though.

Justin Hyland says you stole his repaint. Do not upload it.

This situation is a sad thing. But I have to go with the decision I already made to protect the site. Hyland feels the concept of the repaint in question that it is his personal property. If the file gets uploaded regardless of if it is really his or not he will continue to claim it as his idea. His file however is not even released. I can not have him reporting RWA to the CCFA or whatever the organization is called, who will in turn contact my host who will give me a warning to take the file down in x amount of days. I can't have this happening.


Several of you have stated that you helped and watched Martin create this from scratch. It is sad we have to deal with these kind of people who just look to make things bad for other people. The following is the email I got from him.


Justin J Hyland <Vocaloi34@gmail.com>

Well seams like I'm having to contact you once again. This is about the TheTeenagedSimmer forum user thegevo5k NPCU skin. The skin was stolen if the skin gets uploaded to RWA you know what's going to happen. So fuckin tired of seeing this crap happen. This is the forum post in regards to the stolen skin. I can provide evidence that its stolen if need be. I have done some homework from the skin that has been modified and can see not a lot has been modified to my original reskin. Could have done a better job of it not being so obvious by doing a duplicate 90278.

Anyway, this file will have to distributed from another site, RWA can not accept it.
