Me too, but it doesn't like VRC for some reason?

I did an upgrade to IE 11 and now all seems to be working. *!greengrin!*

M y head hurts after trying to start it and no I don't want easy mode or intermediate mode. I must say it is a !*drool*! locomotive.

The loco looks great, and I'm itching to buy it, but I had a question about pricing first. I'm not the biggest CSX fan, so when other railroad's colors are released will they also be priced at ~$20 for the base unit, plus ~$5 for the additional related paint schemes? BN and SP would be the railroads I'm itching to see this unit in.

Sorry to keep the "can you make this" train rolling but is a CN scheme possible? I'd rather shell out 20$ for that than CSX.

Apologies, but I would love to see Conrail added to the list. I'd gladly shell out any amount of money for that.

Finally can feel the pull of a long string of freight cars, going through the notches, gathering speed.

Were getting very close to realistic. Thanks. *!greengrin!*

OK, I will try to answer all of these. Sorry if I miss one.

Its possible, we need to look at the license.

Stay in tune. Visit our site often... or wait for us to say something here. But yes the pricing model is going to be like that. The reason is that we pay for the license from each railroad company.

CSX did not offer option to include this in the license. (nor oddly enough the old blue C&O, B&O and red/white WM)

The only remedy I can offer is to play harder, drive longer, use the dynmic brake when needed, and drink Rockstar

Enjoy!

Very funny Papa *!lol!* .

A CN license..I wonder if they would allow IC,GTW,WC and any others.

Your absolutely welcome VRC! It's rare to have someone put so much time and effort into a really great add-on.

And I can understand about your issue with time. I myself have had to do a number of things in a certain time where I could not achieve all of them.
So I can understand where you're coming from.

Absolutely stunning. Amazing sounds and very interactive locomotives. I especially like the individual characteristics of each cab. Have had a few issues switching between a powered unit after starting and one yet to be start where it kills the first engine, besides that though one of the best engines I have ever enjoyed operating.
