So the promised DTM update for the F3 is out... if you're wondering what today's update is about. 1GB download size, unpacks to 5GB. Updates the F3 assets and the Wasatch Grade scenarios. They did a good job on improving the textures. And the bogies look much better now. Thanks, DTM!
So, it was only the F3? Still no word for a truck fix for the BL2 (Which have the same truck issues as the F3). Also surprised DTG didn't post the notes here in the forum.
The F3 release spawned a long discussion, and the trucks looked as if the parts came out fresh from machining. Now they're darkened, dirt added, even have variations between models. I don't see anything wrong with the BL2. (Left one on Screenshot)
The BL2, like all of EMD Geeps and F-Units, use the same Blomberg trucks, and like the F3, the BL2 is also missing the Spring Hangers, I let DTM know about it on Facebook, but doesn't seem like that patch is out yet (If it's even done at all)
Wasn't aware of that missing part on the BL2 though, appreciate the info. As the F3's trucks are correctly modelled, a fix would be easy for DTM.
The patch is still in testing and development currently and went out by mistake. The Patch has now been reverted we will have more news when the patch is ready for release.
When it re-emerges bear in mind that all repaints will require the Geo files replacing with the updated ones (from the new .ap file) to benefit from the update.
For the lucky few who already extracted the new AP files...keep in mind based on Jamie's post that it's not an officially released update yet. There could be something that goes wrong. Just like user generated content, for those who use that. And once it comes out officially, you'll need to extract again anyway for any further changes. That said, if the video I saw on Youtube covering the update is anything to go by, it looks like the quality has improved significantly on this pack. This is good news.
