I have one quick question for you. On the rollingstock files for the Widowmaker activity, did you include the modifications that were included in your previous downloads.
I just wanted to know before I changed something and goofed it up.Thanks
Jim

I'd still hang on to those supplimentary file folders in the activity
in case you need to re-apply them for some reason.Actually, the only things modded are the couplers on the coal cars; the caboose; some engine sound file mods and aliasing --particularly the gn_sw1200. This was all done with static/AI eng files, so keep those intact. The original eng files (for better or worse) are left alone. So you can use them in other activities. The vast majority of the rolling stock is just as it came except a few folder names got changed.The only engine that was really tinkered with is the AlcoRS2_GN.
It had to be, cause a few things were wrong in the original, and the
updated RS2/3 had a serious flaw in the DeRailForce figure which I was informed about only recently. The changes are all quite good, (many thanks to Plainsman) and you can use that eng for other things too, just dont mod it unless you make a renamed duplicate.There's really only about three no-nos. 1. Dont change the RS2 Physics. (weight or horsepower)
2. Dont change the coal car weight or couplers.
3. Dont add or subtract from the player consist.Anything else can probably changed or modded without impairing the
playability of the activity.
Hope that clears it up.

Thanks
That told me what I needed to know. I still have the other files and mods as well.
I ran the Whitfish Widowmaker for Marias Pass 3.0 and loved it. I had a hard drive crash and lost everything so I didn't have the rolling stock installed.
Looking forward to running this one as well.Thanks
Jim
