FAQ
Why are you releasing this for overhauled?
I started this project over a year ago and as much as I have enjoyed developing this I want to move on to other projects. When the CCL framework gets updated for the newest version of the game, I will return to update this mod. I also want to open this up for beta testing and public feedback so that when this is released for simulator it's the best it can be.
When are we likely to see this come to simulator?
That is down to the CCL development team and their progress with updating the CCL framework. Once that has been brought to simulator allow some time and this mod will be updated.
This requires the game to be downgraded. How do I do that?
This may sound complicated but it’s not that bad. In short, use the Steam console to download the correct depo for build 92, wait for the download to finish and then drag the newly downloaded files into your DV game files. A full guide can be found here. So long as the correct versions of CCL and UMM are installed mods will work fine. Just make sure you back up your game before attempting this.
Can I create my own custom skins for these locos?
Custom skins won’t be supported in this release.
Can you make [insert loco here]?
No. This pack will be my only mod for this game. There will be no more additions from me. I want to move on to other projects.
