Milwaukee Road H10-44 Repaint kit

For the intermediate to advanced reskinner...

There are issues with the All Weather Windows when using the headout view due to the field of view used by MSTS.
I suggest you do not use it. It won't crash MSTS but it is just not a realistic view.

Milwaukee Road had 24 Fairbanks-Morse H10-44's.

These were delivered over many years and many different details.

The H10-44's were originally numbered 1802-1819 later renumbered 760+ series

There are two documents in the Docs folder with details on how to assemble the shape files and texture information.

You will need to do your own in depth research to accurately reproduce selected units of your choice.

Even though basic textures have been provided, the main body PSD has many louvre layers to duplicate as many as possible all the variations.

You will still need to provide Milwaukee Road logos and lettering etc as necessary.

Make yourself aware of the lettering layer and particularly the number template layer as sample numbers have been provided in all the required sizes.

There are many variations possible as several main and FA shape files have been provided and they can be combined in many ways to achieve a prototypical unit.

7 sample eng files have been included to help you along. These can be copied and modified for your units.

Sample textures have also been included so you can see how the diffeent models look in Shape Viewer.

I can't stress enough to _please_ read the instructions in the Docs folder...

The light settings have been set for LightFx. A brighter light ace which can be found on trainsim.com

If you do not use LightFx and do not wish to install it, then the lights may look a bit small.

Simply go into each eng file and double the radius of all the Type ( 0 ) lights.

These files were zipped up with folders enabled.

They should install to a folder called H10-44-MILW-Reskin

You may also wish to install this to a temporary folder first.
