New ES44!!

[PamBrooker]

Thats looking pretty darned awesome.. Awesome enough to move the es-44 from the middle of my list of favorites up towards the top.. If the dynamics are just as good as that model, its going to be a great machine..

[Chacal]

Don't we already have an ES44AC?
Confusing.

I'm starting to really like the option of opening windows and doors of the cab. (hint,hint)
Thanks Eyein.

It seems BNSF650 will be happy about this. Is this only for Sherman Hill?

Dynamic brakes as on the P42DC Genesis from G-TraX, maybe a bit stronger et voilà, they are perfect.

Plus a cab where the instruments and displays actually work!
Now that we have a heavy duty route in the making, what about the coupler issue?
Both fixes essential and long overdue.

[arizonachris]

They have a lot of time so lets see what they put out :_]

No they don't, I want it NOW! With at least 20 scenarios, too!

:::LOL:: no no.. I meant the performance dynamics. The numbers that make it run and behave like an es-44 as opposed to a Tom Thumb for instance..

A good example is the Big Boy. At this moment the big boy on my Machine performs almost like a little baby shay.. Theres a discrepency there.. It doesnt behave like Big Boy..

Pam, the virtual Big Boy has grown and turned into a kind of virtual Big Young (stronger, healthier and full of energy), this great update is worth:

Doc.

Machinist, I already sent Pam a message.

[PamBrooker]

yeahh, i applied that once, but will try again..

Better dynamics & sound with near zero capability would be nice. Like the real ES44's

[BNSF650]

I am very happy that they are doing this for us. Not lets get them to add all the cab lights and right sounds

[USRailFan]

Wouldn't it have been better to make it as a replacement of the default GEVO though (as they did with e.g. the UK Class 47)? I don't kinda see the point in this kind of duplication of assets?

[Machinist]

Whether the geometry is different a replacement of default will break all the other liveries (currently 6 or 7 I guess). Or RSC iussue a new (independent asset, with some few or no other livery) or they will have to fix (redo) all the other liveries (which they won't do, anyway). This is why is easier a new asset, like happened with current two versions of ICE.
