Hi Harry

They work for me in RW - what error messages are you getting? (sadly) the model hasn't been upgraded so they should work in both. Let me know which you using and I'll see if I can replicate.

Make sure you delete blueprint cache after installing

okay bdy26, im now going to try and delete the blueprints and i will tell you if i have any success in about 15 minutes, hope it works haha

Thanks Harry L

[EWSmad09]

its me again, nope, deleting the blueprints haven't worked i've linked a image of what comes up which is the couplings and thats it i dont seem to get error messages with it. i'm using david hossack's drs reskin pack but it doesn't work with railworks hope you can help me.

Thanks Harry

Hi

As this is a reskin, you'll need to copy across the shape file from the original model (the .GeoPcDx file) otherwise you'll only see the couplings. Details of how to do this should be in the readme file but if not, come back here and we'll try to help further. It would help if you'd say which reskin you're trying to install (preferably the UKTS file reference).

Hi harry

The author of this particular reskin has gone about things in a slightly different way, so you won't need to copy the GeoPcDx file. You will, however, still need to read the readme file that comes with the download - full instructions on how to install are included.

Well, it most definetely works, I have it and have seen many shots using it.

The most obvious cause of your screenshot (couplings only) is making a mistake somewhere in the installation and copying a folder in the wrong place. Obviously the readme refers to an RS file path so this has to be changed to your RW one.

This may be related but I'll ask anyway as it concerns Brush Type 4s (am I giving my age away). I loaded some repaints for the Class 47 and found that on some, the driver is sitting about 3 ft in front of the loco at headcode height. What could be causing this?

[bdy26]

The picture definitely shows the geopdx shape file is missing - you'll need to copy the file. See the read me.

The driver on the roof problem is solved by clearing the blueprint cache - on the tools tab.

The long answer as to why this is an issue is to do with child entries in the blueprints (here as the headlamp is added to the model) it creates an additional child object. If you don't clear the cache the game loads (I think) the child entries in the order / positions of the default model hence getting a driver (also a child entry) in the wrong place.

I hope this dont sound to silly but first where is the 'geopdx' file ?? is it the one that comes with the DRS 47s and secondly where do i copy it too?? please help as its a bit technical for me :s still getting to grips with it all as only started using railworks about 2 weeks ago after about 8 months of not using it :s hope you can help me guys.
Thanks from Harry

[EWSmad09]

Okay ive figured out how to change it but which geopdx file do i use?? because theres one for each engine i.e. br.geopdx, ICS.geopdx etc so i don;t know which one to use :s help me please.

Harry

[EWSmad09]

okay, i think i may of found out of doing it but.... what geopdx file will i need to put into the drs folders to get the locos working as i want to use them i've looked in the folders of the other locos and they all seem to have like br, ics etc infront of the geopdx so i dont know whether theres a certain geopdx file i need to add to the drs 47s to get them to show up hope someone knows which one im supposed to put in, even if you could put some screen shots of what to do, i'd be very greatful. Hope someone can help me. Thanks

You don't need to copy any files - they are all included in the download. Can we assume you have done what the readme says?

How to Install
--------------

Unzip the file using an appropriate program.


How to install the Locomotives
------------------------------

1. Copy the contents of the "Class47" folder included with this download to:

Assets\Kuju\RailSimulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class47 (i.e. the four folders DRS-501, DRS-712, DRS-802 and DRS-832


2. Copy the content of the "Coaches" folder included with this download to:

Assets\Kuju\RailSimulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST


3. Make a backup of the file:

Assets\Kuju\RailSimulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class47\Default\Simulation\Class47 Engine Simulation.lua


4. Copy the file in the "Simulation" folder to:

Assets\Kuju\RailSimulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class47\Default\Simulation

(Steps 3 and 4 only needs to be done once for all my Class 47 downloads to work.)
