Siemens EuroSprinter 64U Taurus series for Train Simulator 2012

First we want to thank you for your donation. We have worked hard to develop these locomotives for Train Simulator 2012, albeit it s not perfect, like everythin! what made by a human. This is especially true for Train Simulator 2012 itself. The most of the work hours spent to workaround the flaws of the !ame en!ine, as it is possible "#$% scriptin!, tricks on modelin!, etc&. We would ask you, to report any problems related to this pack and ideas, maybe send raw materials "!ood 'uality sounds& you have to improve these locos. We will consider these and if we can we will make up!rades. (f you re readin! this, you re likely !one throu!h the installation procedure. For further identification, please save your transaction details, as you will probably need these to download the updates.

The horn loops are far from perfect, as the !ame sometimes leave out parts from the sound. Some sounds have low 'uality, because of too much noise, doppler effect, etc. (f you have better you can send it to our email. (f you have found other issues that are not related to the standard issues of the !ame en!ine, write us with the steps to reproduce it.

For e,ample since now you need 1erman numberin! scheme select the 3; folder, then copy it s contents to a new repaint folder. 3ecompress the file with the bin e,tension to ,ml, with serJ.e,e which can be found in TS2012 root folder "it support dra! and drop, so in windows e,plorer you can dra! the bin file on serJ, and it will decompress it&. .pen the ,ml file, and edit what you want "names at first place. (f two obLect names in !ame are identical only the first will appear in scenario editor&. When you have done with editin! the ,ml, you need to convert it back to bin, with serJ. "only the bin file will be read by the !ame&. Search for the link to the numberin! dcsv file, and correct its path to the new repaint folder. "if you don t want autonumberin!, Lust make a dcsv file with 0,0,0 content&. The ne,t step is to make the te,ture, and convert it to T!2c3, somehow "there are various methods to do this&. ( su!!est *W%cetool to convert Lp!, pn!, t!a, or bmp files to ace file, which can be converted to T!2c3, with 8onvertToT1 command line application found in TS2012 root folder. When you have the T!2c3,, make sure it s name is main.T!2c3,, then overwrite the one in your repaint directory with the new te,ture. That s all. (f you have done everythin! correctly the new repaint with the name you set in ,ml, should appear in !ame. For distribution you can include the bin, dcsv and the T!2c3, file, but not the 1eo2c3,. Kust write some instructions for the user, which 1eo2c3, should be copied and where. Same method works for cab repaints too. %t cab folders there are two 1eo2c3, files. 8abdvL have )un!arian 3GK cab si!nal display, the other haven t. The te,ture files in 8ommonMte,tures or in 8ab root folder, are surprisin!ly common te,tures, used by all cabs or paints "specular maps, soft shadow, !lass te,tures, dummy te,tures, bo!ie panto!raph and wiper te,tures&, you probably won t need to edit them. (f you have made a nice and probably popular repaint, send us if you want, and if it s !ood enou!h we will put it to the main pack, and of course your name will be mentioned as creator. -mportant: later. +e +ill release an /SD*0 +it" t"e sources of t"e current te1tures in multi la'er formats for 2imp. an! 3"otos"op. to ma4e repainting easier.
