Just pour gasoline over your monitor and strike a match.

A FA wouldn't animate, so a special car would likely have to be made from scratch, probably having the fire as some kind of wheel object. That would only animate when moving, but that's the best way I can think of. There is an even better way, though: invest in fire prevention. How many people are you trying to get killed, anyway?

The PRR East route has a burning building in it, could you use an animation of that sort with a special made car?

Dear Sirs Thanks for your kind replies.

Kindly find the images so that my perception (what i meant to do) will be easily understood.
These images are made in paintshop.

I want to animate like this in Open Rails. So wanted to know how to do this.

Kindly check and reply.

Thank You.

OR static freightanims animate. I just tried putting a walking man as OR static freightanim over an open freight car, and it moves accordingly to its animation independently from wheel speed.

In what spot?

I seem to remember that a few years back someone created a steam effect for UK coaches to simulate leaking steam heat hoses? If you can find that the method could perhaps be used to simulate the fire? Flames instead of steam, and the position of the animation adjusted to the right area? Try looking up Jon Bilton (?) on UKTS site forum.

Thanks for your kind reply.

This Animfire I had seen earlier too. it has one pictorial tutorial for placing fire object on Route using MSTS Route Editor.

i was looking for Fire addition on Coaches.

It will be a great help , If you can send me some tutorial link where i can find animating fire(or something) in coaches.

Thanks for your kind support.

Far as I am aware, there is no such tutorial, no one has ever asked how to make coaches on fire before. As this is for Open Rails, csantucci has already proved that it could be done by making the animation in the style you want, and adding it using the Open Rails Freightanim method.

So, first you need to study how fire animations have been made before, then work out how to modify it for your coach fire animation.

Just to be clear how do you see this being used? Once a train catches fire it surely stops as soon as possible ....and therefore becomes a static object?

ANY "incident" to your driven train in MSTS results in "an end game"?! Something I always thought could be corrected/modified. Derailments are not uncommon in the real world and if minor derailments could be "re-railed" as they are in reality that would be another type of simulated activity?
