GE C39-8 diesel - CONRAIL #6020 LEAD UNIT for Microsoft Train Simulator October 22, 2005 Original Model by: Diesel-West Copyright 2005 - Diesels-West www.dieselswest.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW SOUNDS Diesels West Dash 8 locomotives come with new air system sounds that include 'spitters' (for the lead locomotives, when in the throttle's idle position), and periodic momentary discharge of air from the Main Reservoirs on all units(Main Reservoir Drain Valves). The spitters and Drain Valves allow air to bleed off from the Main Reservoir tanks discharging corrosion causing moisture. IN-CAB SCANNER SOUNDS Each lead unit is equipped with in-cab railroad scanner sounds. If you prefer to not hear them, see the 'ReadMe' inside the 'NoScanner' folder, located inside the Sound folder ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT: You must have the 'DASH9' and 'GP38' folders in the 'TRAINSET' folder with all of their sound files intact so that your new locomotive can use some of those sounds. If you altered these folders, you will need to reinstall Microsoft Train Simulator. If you want to check it, it should be here> ../Train Simulator/Trains/TRAINSET/DASH9/SOUNDS and ..GP38/SOUNDS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRAILING UNITS VS. LEAD UNITS If you attempt to run a TU locomotive as the lead loco, the simulation will not load properly. That's why it has a unique name in the activity editor (i.e., 'TU SP #7505'), and the activity editor tells you that the consist is not drivable upon saving. TU locos work well as idle units on a siding etc., and will throttle up when coupled by a drivable unit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation: 1.Extract the folders from this .zip into a temporary location. 2.Copy and paste,or click and drag, the locomotive folder(s) into your 'TRAINSET' folder > Programs/Microsoft Games/Train Simulator/trains/TRAINSET directory. 3.Build your consist using the MSTS Activity editor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Locomotive information can be found by clicking the 'details' tab in Train Simulator These locomotives come with the 1024x1024 textures only. If you don't already have the Train Simulator update, you can get it from the website: www.microsoft.com/games/trainsim/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you attempt to run a TU locomotive as the lead loco, the simulation will not load properly. That's why it has a unique name in the activity editor (i.e., 'TU SP #7505') so you don't confuse them with other locos in the locomotive list. TU locos work great as idle units on a siding etc., and will throttle up when coupled by a drivable unit. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
