24T ex VDA OTA in Railfreight Red & EWS

Hello Hello TSC people! Today I decided to work on a reskin for the ex VDA OTAs you can find on the EWS Class 66 v2.0. As the title says, these have been reskinned in Railfreight Red (Or at least attempted to so it's decent enough) Reason for this reskin being made is due that I don't particularly remember an RF Livery for these being made, so decided to fill the gap myself and post it here! There are future plans for these, mainly adding slight variations or so, such as doing an RF Red livery with EWS Branding and the older OLE flashes etc. Once again, thanks to everyone on the discord for the help provided, especially GeorgeBeany once again for helping me out with the .bat and the lamps!

V.2.0. August 8, 2024.

V.2.0. Is here!!!!! and with a new version, new livery comes in! and other fixes such as a more accurate representation of the original livery as well as fully and well working new shiny lamps that replace those old RSC ones! All thanks to ChiefJack on Discord! :DD

What's new really?
-Original RF Red now is a bit more accurate.
-Ex Railfreight Red livery with EWS branding.
-Perfectly working Tail Lamps (I hope!)
-Slightly reworked data panels so they represent each livery more accurately.
-OLE Flash on the exRF EWS livery now has the older style of OLE flashes.
-AP 4 Wheel sound support for those who have it.
-Removed older tail lamp versions.
-Added TL Factor, if you want to get rid of the Tail Lamps now you just have to put ;TL=0.
-Added Automatic Lamp placement at the end of the consist.
-Removed Herobrine.
-Added much love put into this, despite me not being the greatest livery creator out there, I tried my hardest to fill this gap in the game a bit better. Together with TSC's awesome community ofc!

And I think that's all... for now.

FEATURES! (I think)
-RF Red livery in both loaded and partially loaded versions of the OTA.
-ExRF Red EWS livery in both loaded and partially loaded versions of the OTA. (V.2.0)
-New Tail Lamps for each of these versions. (They work as intended now! (V.2.0.) )
-Tail Lamp Factor, to remove tail lamps, just put ;TL=0 on the wagon number. (V.2.0.)

Additional Comments

You can find these wagons under the name ((M))ExVDA OTA X

You will need to enable the provider RSC>Class66Pack03 for these to show on the editor.

Remember to delete the older version before installing V.2.0. You can find these wagons at \Assets\RSC\Class66Pack03\RailVehicles\Freight\OTA.

IF YOU DO NOT OWN THE AP SOUNDS REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD THE VERSION WITH THE DEFAULT SOUNDS OTHERWISE THE WAGON'S SCRIPT WILL BREAK AND YOU WILL ALSO HAVE NO WORKING SOUNDS.
