I really don't see how the liveries could just be copied from the old ES44 to the new one. They are completely different models and I would venture to guess that the new ES44 itself is textured quite differently.

Here we go with the "Great Livery Conspiracy." *facepalm*

EDIT: Anyone else notice the working exterior fuel gauge on the tank? !*drool*!

This is getting out of hand! We can act more mature than THIS! This constant bickering is POINTLESS!

If you guys really hate the ES44 cab, if you own the Dash 9, try to change the cab to the NS Dash 9 cab.

You need to calm down. In the locomotive you can either have the ditch lights go on automatically, or a person can flip a switch and they will stay on constantly. *!rolleyes!*

If you've ever seen a locomotive with just the ditch lights on, this is why. They turned the main headlights off and forgot the ditch lights. It's good that they have done this. The Acela Express also requires that you turn the ditch lights on. What are you going to do when you pass another crew? Turn the ditch lights off and set the main headlights to dim. Simple.

Definitly a matter of opinion, but like buzz has stated, either buy it or move on... !*salute*!

What isn't acceptable about it? Aside from the really minor cab detail. I prefer screens on the front personally anyways, less of a pain in the rear to look left to see speed, then look back ahead. (my trackIR doesnt work in RW)

The bell was a goof up though, I must admit. Something pretty easy to fix though.

I was toggling the switch because I couldn't see if there was a flashing with the lights on, its very hard to determine.

It's really not that noticable in the cab with headlights on IRL either.

I keep asking myself everytime I run a GEVO, why did RSC cover up the air to air heat exchanger on their GEVO's?

:(

These vents? If so, yeah, I wonder that as well. It looks odd.

Yes, those are the air-to-air heat exchangers. I might have to re add them in to the locos.

Yeah that one. Idk, I made note of it with the Sherman one, I guess Reppo (the modeler of the ES44 as shown in credits) didn't recieve it. Ah well.
When you hear the engine sounds in run 3-8 and you hear that Hoover Vaccum sound, it's those two fans in there supercooling the air to the Turbo charger.
