AP Class 66 Updated Cab

Hello everyone. This is my first attempt to improve the textures of the cabin, the first Class 66 with the installed EP from AP came under my hand. I used photoshop with Nvidia tools for the initial upscale, and then manually corrected some places and changed the labels. All of them have been updated with more appropriate fonts. I hope you enjoy the update. The main textures of the CabView_AP and CabView_LED_AP folders have been replaced, the first folder comes from AP, and the second one comes from ?, maybe from this wonderful pack of reskins: https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c1-train-sim-classic/c10-reskins/c26-british/c29-locomotives/i3205-gbrf-66-pack-v132
But it doesn't matter, the textures in that folder are completely consistent with the original ones and have also been improved.
So what's changed? Here it is:

  • Upscaled from 2k to 4k, one texture upscaled to 8k
  • Updated all labels in cab
  • Updated EM2000 and Datacord buttons, added Q-Tron logo to Datacord
  • Removed "No smoking" plate because it is missing from almost all photos of the cabin
  • Edited some decals, like "Keep your feet off"

It is worth noting that I did not change all the textures with my hands, I left some parts of them just with an upscale. The cabin uses only 8 basic textures, one of which goes to the decals, and the rest contain the entire cabin. The problem is that a lot of textures for different objects are placed on the same form, so even 8k textures in places do not improve the situation. So I focused on 4k resolution, only one 8k texture, it is connected to the back wall of the cabin. There I had to increase the resolution to make the decals of various posters look nice.

Additional Comments

This mod is compatible with all existing reskins and improvements that do not affect the CabView_AP and CabView_LED_AP folders.

If the update goes off with a bang, then I will try to improve the external textures, primarily the undercar equipment and bogeys, but the textures there resemble jelly, so it will be harder to work with them.

Changelog:

  • Removed EWS logo from electric shock poster
