ÿþBEW NS D9-40CW Version 3



Please read this carefully all the way through before starting to update the engines.



REQUIREMENTS for sound and Cab aliasing: Maple leaf Tracks Cascades Crossing for Cabview, Maple Leaf Tracks NS Engine Pack for sound.



Important please delete any folder already on your system for this engine because if you do not and overwrite these will work but you will be left with unwanted surplas files in each folder



Once you have downloaded and unzipped the zip file you will have a folder named "NS_D9dash40CW_9972" and one named "MLT_REQUIRED" plus this file "Install_BEW_NS_D9_V3.txt" also "readme.txt".





************************************************************************************

IF YOU HAVE THE MAPLE LEAF TRACKS CASCADES CROSSING ROUTE AND NS ENGINE PACK!



First, copy the "MLT_REQUIRED" folder to the "Trains/Trainset" directory in your MSTS installation, say yes to allow it to overwrite the exising files,  all it does is add the horn sounds  and sms files necesary for this update it does not delete anything, If you do not have the MLT NS Engine pak then DO NOT carry out this step as the sounds will not work and you will have to sort out your own sounds.Bear in mind that the cabview is aliased to the Cascades crossing SP_C44dash9W_8137 engine.



************************************************************************************

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MAPLE LEAF TRACKS CASCADES CROSSING ROUTE AND NS ENGINE PACK!



You will need to do some editing to set up your own cabview and sound files.  The simplest proceedure would be to copy the default Dash 9 CABVIEW and SOUND folders into each of the NS D9-40CW locomotive directories.  You would then need to make the following filename changes in the ENG files:



SPdash9.cvf  -->  dash9.cvf

"..\\..\\MLT_REQUIRED\\MLT_SOUNDS\\NS\\K5LAeng.sms"  -->  d9eng.sms

"..\\..\\MLT_REQUIRED\\MLT_SOUNDS\\NS\\K5LAcab.sms"  -->  d9cab.sms



There are also several other good cabviews and sound packages which can be used.  A very nice one is included in the Demo Kicking Horse Pass Route which may be downloaded at:

Thats it! We hope you will all enjoy the new look which is about as good as you will ever get the BNSF shape file to look in NS guise.



For those more Adventurous of you it is possible to have just one folder with all 20 engines in it. Because this time the shape file is included by permission the internal references have been renamed so that nothing will clash if this is done.



Just copy the contents of each of the 20 engine folders into one named 



NS_D9dash40CW



and when prompted allow any overwrites  (this will be common files like the crew etc) you should then end up with one folder with all the right files for the complete 20 engines.  If you do this of course any existing consists will have to be altered to reflect the change as well as any activities using them.
