I model with Max 3.1 (late 1990's), and process the 3DS mesh to shape format using the default MSTS tool CONV3DS.exe in a CMD window. If necessary, I further process the shape file with ShapeFix.

Textures are also manually convert my BMPs and TGAs to ACE format using the default MSTS MAKEACE texture tool.

I can now confirm that up to V957 M&U#5 displays correctly, but from either 958 or 959 it does not display and that situation continues on right up to the latest release. I have not been able to obtain 958 to test it.


Bazza,

You have PM.

I am pleased to report that James appears to have solved the problem and the loco correctly displays in 1189/1190, so many thanks to him for that fix. Thanks to all involved in supporting me during this traumatic* experience. :sign_rockon: :thumbup3:

Good to see 5 back on track. I'd still be floored even if the model was just the animated bell!
