How tho I change what names of the .ace texture files the .s files will look for in Train-sim? i.e. for my upcoming FBL AC44's, if I wanted the .s file on one unit to look for the filename FBL9800_front.ace instead of AC4400CW_front.ace, how could I do that? Jonathan Nikiforovs.

Use Route Riter to expand the s file. Edit in Wordpad and then compress with route riter.Kevin Arceneaux

Or use the "ffeditc_unicode.bat" (folder "Utils/FFEDIT") in command line mode to compress/uncompress the *.s file. However, this might be more appropriate for us old UNIX & DOS freaks... Route Riter is definitely more user friendly!Cheers, Björn
