Free content update for Digital Traction customers!

General discussion about Rail Simulator that doesn't really fit in to any specific category. A good place to start if you're not sure what category it should fit in to as well.

The new reskins look great although I am not sure the ScotRail logo suits the coach. Not sure if they wore that logo. They definitely wore:

I shall have to investigate the Mk3s used on the Edinburgh/Glasgow route.

Any chance of the Mk2 DVT (It would need a cab though)? maybe for a small fee-perhaps initially just cosmetic?

Having yet to have a chance to look at the ScotRail reskin, I'm unsure what the logo on the coach is, but I was under the impression the livery lasted a few logos...

It'd be nice to have a Scottish route to use the stock on though...

In regards to the Scotrail logo, we had very little to work from as photos are quite tough to come by and none of us live up that end of the country. The logo the Mk2 coaches wear was taken from this photograph;

I'm prepared to be proved wrong, because I don't know the operating company or the era they operated in very well.

Mk2e Coach Update

Just to let you know we've just uploaded a second build of the Virgin coaches, which feature new unwrapping for the window rims and have a reduced specular value on the roof. For now this is only on the Virgin coaches, but will be applied to the rest of the liveries in an upcoming patch which should be released with the Mk1 RBR.

I believe, that's actually what would usually be a Regional Railways livery (thus the blue bit in the top right).

Thinking logically, if you can't find Mk2e coaches in ScotRail livery... why not look for a ScotRail Class 47 photo? There surely must be some pulling ScotRail Mk2e stock.

Edit:

I'm surprised that I can find more photos of ScotRail 47s pulling NSE stock than ScotRail... - http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_zoom_v2x.p ... 8000422018

Thank you for the update. I have been playing round with the Virgin formations today and look forward to installing it.

I am going to do some Scotrail Mk3s to go with the Mk2s. They were used on the Edinburgh - Glasgow trains (I know they will be HST trailers but they will be close enough)

Sorry for moaning about the logo. I understand the difficulties. I remember the trains mainly on the Edinburgh - Glasgow route on the rare occasions I traveled on them. My Home village in on the line but has no station. It was a shame when they introduced the 158s since we lost the immense looking Class 47s and Mk2/3s

Just to reiterate what many people have said in other posts. I purchases the coaches and the re-skins last night and I must say what a great Job DT have done. Here's looking forward to the next releases.

Thanks DT.

I don't usually reference from other people's work, as any mistakes are then copied over to my work.

The skin will take five minutes to fix, and will be fixed when I find five minutes. :lol:
