Improvements for Cooke Moguls!

Since we released the Cooke Moguls bundle, we have been working on some improvements to the models and have now completed them. Visually, you will notice a big improvement in the writing on the tender of the four units offered in this bundle; that the rivets are now no longer black where the writing is. We have also added two aesthetic embellishments: a beautiful pair of oil lanterns, and two beautiful flags on their masts above the pilot.

List of Improvements:

•Improved the writing on the tenders to overlap the rivets

•Added oil lanterns in front of the smoke box (press Y to show them)

•Added two flags on the masts above the pilot, one from the United States and one from Colorado (press Y in sequence to show).

•Improved the volume of the bell sound

•Adjusted the timing of the pistons

•Improved the moving piston sounds

•Removed bug in the "chuff" sound of the cylinders when the regulator was closed

•Improved texture of headlights

If you already have the Cooke Moguls package, simply download the file below and install the .rwp file using the TS Utilities or simply drag and drop the "Assets" folder into your Train Simulator directory. Replace all the files. If you haven't purchased them yet, don't worry; they have also been updated in our store and you will receive the updated bundle.

1883 Cooke Locomotive Works - Consolidations Being Forged!

A screenshot straight from the factory:

Yes, this is the original Cooke Mogul base, and with some modifications we were able to recreate the Consolidation of the same design, introduced to Cooke in 1883 and delivered to DSP&P. A total of 20 Consolidation units were built between June and September 1883; and we particularly selected 4 units to represent in Train Simulator, containing basic differences and unique features, as was done on the Cooke Moguls.
