Railworks America

Hi again!

I was just surfing youtube for any tier 4 GEVO's in a railroad paint scheme (Not demo Units),and found out that BNSF and CSX have ordered some brand new tier 4 GEVO's!

But the question is,can someone do a modification to the default ES44 in railworks and make it so it has the tier 4 "stack"?

CN has been getting some. Google CN 3001 - 3009. Those are the ones I know are thing around Canada now.

I may do this for school project. ill get back with more info if I do.

Does doing this have anything to do with repainting it? Or do we have to somehow edit the model so that the "stack" is there?

i was thinking about a whole new model. ill see what i can do in my freetime at school. also one question. am i able to use autodesk inventor to model for railworks?

I'm not sure,as long as you can somehow convert everything into a railworks model.I know GreatNortherner makes his models with 3DCrafter.That's your best bet if you want your model to be converted.Otherwise I'm not sure.

ok because i have an SD70ACe model in inventor and its close to being ready to import. yes it an SD70ACe. yes we already have one. but i thought we could use an updated model since the RSC one is getting a little older now.

Well yes,but be careful,DTG or RSC might catch you for all that copyright and legal stuff.But what we need is an AC4400CW,not to get off topic there,but still in on the ET44AC.

As long as the program can export to the correct format it should work fine, if not you may have to go export the model through another program like Blender or 3Dcrafter.

A sd70 model isn't copyrighted by DTG, he can freely make whatever model he wants, DTG has no copyrights on that.

well i didnt want to compete againsed searchlight simulations AC4400CW ( i wouldn't win that battle anyway). and also all bets are off of i make it payware. its my first model so it may be freeware. its all on how it turns out.

That's true,almost forgot about searchlight's AC4400CW XD.

Copyright wouldn't be an issue at all because its completely his own model from scratch.

A whole new model? That will take a long time to do.

So why not have another one?

i didn't want to do anything completely new for the first locomotive i do. i didn't want to make a new locomotive thats not good. this one is practice. sry again for the thread jacking.

So it's final? The ET44AC in railworks will be a whole new model?
