GE U30C CSX # 7211 Special addition LEAD UNIT ***UPDATED*** for Microsoft Train Simulator January 6, 2005 Original Model by: Diesel-West Copyright 2004 - Diesels-West www.dieselswest.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT: You must have the 'DASH9' folder in the 'TRAINSET' folder with all of it's sound files intact so that your new locomotive can use those sounds. If you altered the 'Dash9' folder, you will need get it from your Train Simulator Disk or reinstall Microsoft Train Simulator. If you want to check it, it should be here> ../Train Simulator/Trains/TRAINSET/DASH9/SOUNDS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS SET OF 3 LOCOMOTIVES (lead loco +2 trailing units) ARE A MATCHED SET. THE SOUNDS ARE DIFFERENT FOR EACH LOCOMOTIVE. THEY WERE MADE THAT WAY SO THAT 'IDENTICAL PITCH' INTERFERENCE DOES NOT OCCUR. RUNNING ONE TU LOCO OR ALL TU LOCOS WITH THE LEAD UNIT(7211) IS FINE BUT ADDING A 3RD DUPLICATE TU LOCO WILL CAUSE NOTICIBLE NOISE IN THE SIMULATOR. MID-TRAIN AND END-TRAIN HELPER SETS (two or more together) SHOULD ALSO BE ASSEMBLED USING UNIQUE TU LOCOMOTIVES. If you attempt to run a TU locomotive as the lead loco, the simulation will not load properly. That's why it must have a unique name like 'TU_SP7505' so you don't confuse them with other locos in the locomotive list of the activity editor. Any TU loco can easily be converted to a drivable unit. You will still have the TU loco and you will gain a drivable unit. If you are not comfortable with building a drivable unit from one of the TU locos, send us an E-mail with your request. service@dieselswest.com TU locos work great as idle units on a siding etc., and will throttle up when coupled by a drivable unit. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
