GE44ton QMI-14, a new prototype from the paint shop

[QcRail]

The installation process is giving me problems. It uses the Southern Pacific 44-tonner for the .geopcdx files, right? Doesn't seem to be cooperating with me, despite following the instructions.

Before upload, I double checked the links with the SP geopcdx file and all went well. Try any other GE 44 ton livery - I.e. Penn, B&M or other it should also work as all texture files have the same .nm and .nmc extentions.

…. But keep me informed

By the way. I’ve fixed the faulty QMI 05 engine and in the process, I came across an oddity :
1. The link to each texture map is with texture.nm
2. If only texture files with .nm is within the texture folder none of the textures will show !!!!
3. if I copy/paste the texture.nm to texture.nmc than every texture shows up!!!
>>>> thus, can anyone of you - computer wizard, can explain this quirk?

I suggested 2 possible .geopcdx file as not all users have the Southern Pacific 44-tonner, and I have used the PENN .geopcdx files. If you check the 5th. line of the .bin file it clearly states :

<Name d:type="cDeltaString">[DTM] GE 44Ton QMI-14, Queen Mary logo (N.B. file needed ..\Engine\GE 44Ton_Penn from PRR GE44 addon)</Name>

and if you go down further the link to the .geopcdx file is :
<GeometryID d:type="cDeltaString">DTM\GE44Ton-QMI\RailVehicles\QMI14\Engine\GE 44Ton_Penn</GeometryID>
<CollisionGeometryID d:type="cDeltaString">DTM\GE44Ton-QMI\RailVehicles\QMI14\Engine\GE 44Ton_Penn</CollisionGeometryID>

therefore if you decide to use the Southern Pacific 44-tonner for the .geopcdx files you will have to change the following line in the .bin file as:
<GeometryID d:type="cDeltaString">DTM\GE44Ton-QMI\RailVehicles\QMI14\Engine\GE 44Ton_SP</GeometryID>
<CollisionGeometryID d:type="cDeltaString">DTM\GE44Ton-QMI\RailVehicles\QMI14\Engine\GE 44Ton_SP</CollisionGeometryID> ... and that works for any other GE 44Ton livery.

Always check the proper link to any file...

Hey there,

Update: I used the PENN file, and these worked. And frankly, I'm glad they did: I love the paint work!

Here's one during a busy day in Holland's yard, at the western end of the line. Heavily inspired by Halifax, St. John (New Brunswick) and St. John's (Newfoundland). Still WIP, but progressing nicely
