Flying freight car

[TGM]

Hi,

I have an issue with my Diesels West APL COFC B unit, both the loaded & empty ones. As you can see by the pictures below the car is hovering in the air. I can still drive the train with this gap and the game doesn't crash. But it's got me stumped. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running OR ver x2442 but it has been happening with previous versions as well. The route is the 3DTS Cajon Pass.

regards Tom

Hi Tom !

It will be the easiest to just replace these wagons in its *.CON file with others from the same Diesels West Trainset folder !

[TGM]

Yep. That would be the easiest but it wouldn't sort the issue out Otto.:-)

You will be lucky to get it sorted any other way !

There's been a long running discussion on Elvas concerning articulated cars with less than 2 bogies (search on "invisible coaches").

V2427 and higher should fix this, but since you said you're running 2442, you should probably open up a bug report with OR team: https://launchpad.net/or

Keep in mind that there's only so much ORTS can do to address what may turn out to be improper coding within content, so swapping it out with another car that functions correctly may actually work out to be a correct way of addressing some issues.

Just so nobody thinks it was just DW, there were some SLI cars and some freeware foreign stock which were affected by this...

This bug also affected the eot FRED and any other unit that had no bogies or wheels. The problem with this particular flying car is that it is payware and if the dev working on fixing these things does not have the set, it will be a long time waiting to be fixed.

Without naming names, I've had good success with two vendors when faced with a bug report involving a specific piece of equipment. All it takes is asking, especially if it's something that is potentially impacting their customers or future sales.

Thank you for your replies gentlemen. I will submit a bug report and also hope that Scott sees this thread.

Some of these issues are on the ATWells in the library but there's some with an without this problem whether articulated truck sharing or not.

I have just discovered that the issue (whatever it is) could (maybe) somehow be related to being the first car in the consist. I have this same car repeated further down the consist & it's fine. Anyway, weird.
