Ex-Virgin Update?

Backfoot2002 · Post by **Backfoot2002** » Wed Jun 16, 2004 2:00 am

After doing a Virgin Trains update, I noticed that the Ex Virgin doesnt have a tremenous amount of downloads, so just a poll to see if you would like to see it updated like the virgin, and maybe also have the Virgin logo faded out to such as extent that you can jsut make it out (just like some ex virgin stock is today).
Unlike the Virgin update it would not require an new .eng files so it would be a simple task of download, and overwrite the old version, no fuss.

Poll will close in 4 days time

As they are no longer existant and with ony a few photographs on the internet its hard to do. I have tried to re create the logo, but the angle of the pictures make it hard to do. If anyone has an decent pictures of one, they dont have to be side on just enough so i can see it and create the logo.

If so I can then do one.

From those pictures I can 'try' to re create it, but im not making any promises.

Meanwhile here is a shot of the Ex-Virgin Class 43 Power Car '43093'.

Looks good! But I think the "XC" should be thicker or bolder.

Enlarged it sligtly

That the logo done near enough anways. I know how to sort the front yellow and make it go all the way up, but does anyone know if Virgin XC's without buffers, becuase im sure they did, apart from i must have been about 98 when i last saw one so i cant reall remember. If so does anyone have a running number I can apply?

Ex-Virgin Update?

Would people prefer that the Ex Virgin is transfered onto the v2.1 model and better textures?
