Additional Comments

After having a cold hard look at the Peninsula Corridor F40PH-2CAT, I decided I needed to do something about the poor texture work surrounding the locomotive. Having been making for Train Simulaor 20XX mods for 6 years now, I gave it a shot in Train Sim World 2. The painting experience is the exact same as 20XX, however the importing process is completely different. The end product is very rewarding however.

I need to give a shoutout to my friend James, who was with me the entire process and was very helpful on criticism (and moral support).

Superb! Great job!!
Love the fact that the PTC screen isn't blank anymore, was a real immersion killer.
Would be awesome if you could "enhance" the other cabs/locos on SFJ too sometime!

I feel like the paint on the locomotive and a lot of the textures in general are WAY too shiny. The colors and logos look great but the shinyness made me delete the mod.

Seems like the mod doesn't work with the lastest update to TSW3, are there any plans to update to make it compatible?

Just if anyone's wondering, this seems to work ok also in TSW4.
