Hey guys,
I`m taking a break from my route to re-skin a couple of locomotives into the proper livery for the route, and have a question.
What do I need to rename in the Loco folder to make it stand alone in the selection screen in the sim. I renamed the loco folder, .eng file, and tender .wag file, and corresponding `wagon lines`, but when I go to the sim to select the Loco it`s there, but listed with the Locos I`m making trying to reskin. What do I need to change to get it to show up by it`s self?
(I can`t believe I`ve been messing with this sim for 2 years now and this is the first time I`ve tried this.)
Any help appreciated.
