The coal in my cars is showing up as a grey/ballast color, not black. Any idea on how to fix this? The cars themselves are great!
Soma here I did some testing and for some reason the coal texture is being rendered weirdly
I found a fix by changing SPECULARPOWER and CUSTOMPARAM0 from 3 to 0 in the coal geo files
does anyone know where to find the model as i cant find it on gtrax site or railworks america
The original model is from Railworks America. I think it’s only available as a reskin from Buzz though. You shouldn't need to download any files beyond the SS/JR Freight Pack 2; the models in this are standalone otherwise.
thank you Matt, that worked these are really nice too a great addition.
Wait I can't find the model do you think you could give me the link
Finally some prototypically skinned stock for PennCoal.

Finally a NS coal car besides the JR/SS 100ton hoppers that doesn't look terrible
