Catching me off guard this week was the release of the BETA version of the superliner. So of course, I just had to play around with the car and generate some downloadable trainsets:
OpenBVE EXCLUSIVE: Amtrak Superliner California Car Released (P42DC + 6 Superliners)
OpenBVE EXCLUSIVE Amtrak Superliner California Car Released (F40PH-2 + 6 Superliners)
Individual car download: http://www.sams-it.com/about-samuel/random-stuff/openbve-content
Trainsets download (includes F40PH-2 and P42DC hauled 6 Car Trains): http://www.mediafire.com/?c0rpwbgg3iieebv
Enjoy =) And I will also keep you guys updated on any updates on this car.

Very good work by SamsIT for this good SuperLiner and the updated Rocky Mountain route, and FanRailer for the new trains.
The doors are more like California cars than a single door on a SuperLiner, but this is great start to full set for Zephyr trains!
Can passenger bogies (trucks in America) from the StreamLiner cars be used instead of most ugly freight bogies?
Amtrak baggage car or an MHC would be very nice to have too.
Also dreaming of AmFleet and Acela exteriors, and the NEC route.
Good day and night for all.

Oops...
I'll try and fix the bogi/trucks on it. I released a new one, a lower quality B3D file.

I also darkened the tint on the ends.

Mr. FanRailer,
Good trains, but I find cars without bogie wheels in external view.  Did I install without some things?
Thank you and good day and night for you.

Screenshot the issue for me and let me know exactly which train (e.g., the file folder name)
Otherwise, I don't think it's any issue with my work, since I double checked all the files that I uploaded before I uploaded them.

Mr. FanRailer,
I think it was a P46aci superliner train without wheels on cars,
in pack you no longer have this download in mediafire.
I am now OK, as it is erased waiting on your updating.

Good day and night for you.

Both new links are now up:
Genesis Superliners - http://www.mediafire.com/?6dwjjl8kgsvocq2
Genesis Surfliners - http://www.mediafire.com/?bs51u8uvmk3hnzc

In addition, here is the pack containing F40PH-2 hauled superliner regional trains:

The next updated you guys should expect are the full Amtrak long distance trainsets with the heritage baggage cars. The only thing we are missing for those are the baggage cars now. After that, we can begin to work on generating the different variants of superliner cars (ie, the diner and the lounge cars).

Mr. FanRailer,

I discovered my problem.
When using superliner cars in openbve, bogies DO show proper as they should.
But when loading superliner.animated to objectviewer, bogies DO NOT show.
Weird this is, but OK.

Good day and night for you.

=======================

How should that be done?
My original thoughts on the baggage car was to modify Mr. Goetz's Horizon coach, but I think it's too short.

My other problem is with the lounge/observation cars... I think I'll actually have to know the face/addface command actually works. I've tried the lounge car before, but the window extensions on the top were a total disaster, and I'll need some help with that.

Ha! Done! :D

Baggage Cars AND ATSF Mail cars have been finished!

Now I suppose I'll have to try the lounge car... We'll see how it goes.

Also, the website has been updated. The cars are no longer on the SAME PAGE, and I've released a small mod for the superliner allowing for the "Classic" heritage look

This is great news, and with my new computer, I can begin to restore the files that I had before and begin to release those long distance train sets that we promised you. Stay tuned.
