Jammed couplers after pucking up a cut of cars - see picture

[qballbandit]

Hello,
Once in awhile I get in the mood to pick up and set out cars along some industry rich lines.
In OR, whenever I couple my power to a cut of cars, the connection doesn't look quite right - like I've jammed things up pretty bad (see screen shot).
Even after I've stretched the slack and started pulling, it never undoes itself.

Any ideas as to why this happens? I will admit I have not tried any other power other than 2 specific GP38-2's, so will try other power to see if they perform the same way.

Thanks very much!

Bounding box too small.

Ah, ok. Never would have thought that. Thank you for the reply Charles.

And I thought you were a Power User of MSTS!

Or the length (third number in the parentheses after "Size") in the .eng file may be too small.

Hi uli,
I used RR to correct the BB, and will test in the game.

Charles,
"And I thought you were a Power User of MSTS! "

Good point. I know I've tagged myself as such in a few instances, and while I may not have the deepest understanding of the physics and finer details within the .eng files, etc., from a simulation standpoint, I am no doubt a power user.
The amount of upgrading I do, from train equipment to routes to objects to physics to system performance, on and on and on, my end result simulator is way beyond what any form of the default product looks and acts like.

Far as I know OR does not use the bounding box info, only size data. Currently it is also ignoring the Centre of Gravity as used in MSTS to solve the off centre point of origin which can cause the problem shown.

I also corrected that earlier today with RR.

Thanks much,
