Hello, Is there any way to change what nose is seen from the cabview so that it may be used with other locos? If someone with the knowledge would do this for a few popular roads,(CSX, old BN, ATSF Yellow warbonnet, Conrail) It would be most appreciated by myself and I'm sure many others. Or you could explain to me how to try and do it.thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Randy

You will need TGATool to open up the proper .Ace file. Edit it with a Paint programUse TGATool to convert the .TGA back to an .ACE file.Thats it.It is actually as simple as it sounds. If you have any questions feel free to askLaterTim Kent
