v1.0 Steam Engine Drive Wheel Issue

[ThatSolitaryGuy]

I've been meaning to mention this for a while now, but I had forgotten about it until now.

When I updated Open Rails to version 1.0 back in may, I noticed that three particular steam engines I had downloaded did not function properly, where they used to run just fine. Mainly, the issue was that all but two drive wheels on each engine unit would spin much faster than the train is actually moving, and the nature of their movement mad it clear that it had nothing to do with wheelslip.

Here are the engines with issues:

sp_4449_update2.zip


up844.zip


r2_grn.zip


I've tested these engines in both MSTS and Shape Viewer, only to find that the issue was not present in either of those programs. I'm not entirely sure if this is an issue with Open Rails or if there is something wrong with the .eng files. As I've said before, these problems didn't exist before I updated Open Rails to 1.0, and these are the only steam engines I've downloaded that have this behavior, so I'm not entirely sure where the problem lies.

Also, I'm willing to believe that other steam engines may have this same issue, so I would like to know if anyone who has also encountered this behavior has a fix for it. Otherwise, I won't be testing these again until the next update.

In all three cases the model author has used incorrect wheel naming. There may be other animation issues, but I have not looked at that so far.

Further to my post above, while looking at the shapes in SFV I realised why I had taken the 844 and 4449 off of my computer. No bogies. They are one rigid unit. As such they do not sit right on curved track. Both models seriously need good quality replacements.
