Re: Track on dc5
Hi
I did this recently myself - swapped DCv5 textures with Great Eastern ones. Basically, in the Routes/Dorset/Textures folder there are a load of .ace files all with UKFS prefixes (i.e. ukfs_rail.ace). You need to swap all these with the UKFS textures you desire from a different route. I don't believe you can swap textures other than UKFS ones. That is about as far as my knowledge on the subjects goes I'm afraid
Hope it helps though
Kind regards
Joe

Weren't Otto's textures for standard track rather than UKFS?

Re: Track on dc5
They won't work because they're designed for the default track shapes provided with MSTS and in the XTracks package. Dorset Coast uses the UK FineScale track which uses it's own set of textures and higher detail track shapes.
