    So i tried downloading a Mk3 DVT in BR blue from DPS simulations. Tried downloading via package manger (the untitled exe thingy), didnt work, tried 7zip the rwp file, copying the asset file and pasting it into the rail directory. Both either ways didnt work and i cant get the DVT to officially show up as a model in the game. Why, the instructions are pretty much exactly that- and i already also have the class 90 stuff from GEML and the 2 AP packs.

    and this is what i was trying to download.

    There's only one way to download...that gives you a Mungo_Class82_BR.rar which is a .RAR archive.
    Once you have that open you'll get the .rwp which you can install with Package Manager or simply extract the Assets folder it contains in to your Railworks directory. All that is in the ReadMe that comes with it. Did you do step 3...

    "Step 3; From this directory:

    X:\Your Default Railworks Installation\Assets\AP_Waggonz\MK3DVT\RailVehicles\Class82DVT\VirginOld

    Copy these files:

    MK3DVT.GeoPcDx
    MK3DVT UNI.GeoPcDx

    And paste them into the respective folder in this directory:

    X:\Your Default Railworks Installation\Assets\AP_Waggonz\MK3DVT\RailVehicles\Class82DVT\BR" ?

    Edit: never mind, i found the 2 geo files apparently they are in the old virgin livery- i thought the file gave them to me already. And now i got it working, thank you.

    Just bear in mind going forward with reskin downloads, it is generally accepted practice to not include any Geos that you haven't personally made as part of your project, so a lot will either require copying but some developers do provide batch files which automate the process, or full installers which automate the whole reskin installation even more.
