Troubles Adding FA to Model

[unseen3844]

Being Extremely new to the OpenRails side of the sim I am having trouble adding a simple freight anim to a model

None of this makes any sense Hopefully someone can point out the obvious mistake?

I have read:

https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showthread.php?335655-Second-freight-anim-not-showing-up-in-the-sim&highlight=freight+anim

While this fixed the issue of adding 2 FA's to that model I cannot get a single FA to add to a different model using the same lines


based off green river drgw sd45):

Wagon ( WE_SD45_1823
Type ( Engine )
WagonShape ( SD45.s )
ORTSFreightAnims
(
MSTSFreightAnimsEnabled ( 1 )
FreightAnimStatic
(
SubType ( Default )
Shape ( Exhuast Shroud.s )
Offset ( 0.0 0.0 0.0 )
)
)
Size ( 3.318m 4.768m 19.85m )
Mass ( 176.1t )
WheelRadius ( 20in )
InertiaTensor ( Box (3.318m 4.768m 19.85m) )
Coupling (
Type ( Automatic )
Spring (
Stiffness ( 4e2N/m 6e6N/m )
Damping ( 5e6N/m/s 5e6N/m/s )
Break ( 5.1e7N 5.1e7N )


Any help is greatly appreciated!

Although OR (and, of course MSTS) accepts freight animations with a set of lines below the shape, you don't necessarily need all that, especially when the model only needs one freight animation and you can easily add a single line below the WagonShape (xxxx.s)

Example, you posted the exhaust shroud. It should be added to the ENG file as follows.

Wagon ( WE_SD45_1823
Type ( Engine )
WagonShape ( SD45.s )
FreightAnim ( Exhaust_Shroud.s 1 1 )
Size ( 3.318m 4.768m 19.85m )
Mass ( 176.1t )
WheelRadius ( 20in )
InertiaTensor ( Box (3.318m 4.768m 19.85m) )
Coupling (
Type ( Automatic )
Spring (
Stiffness ( 4e2N/m 6e6N/m )
Damping ( 5e6N/m/s 5e6N/m/s )
Break ( 5.1e7N 5.1e7N )

Back-up your first ENG file before attempting this. I could be wrong. But it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

This is how I have my FA set up for two FA Wagon
( UP_SD40-2_2957
Type ( Engine )
WagonShape ( UP_SD40-2_2957.s )
FreightAnim ( UP_SD40-2_2957_FA.s 1 1 )
ORTSFreightAnims
(
MSTSFreightAnimsEnabled ( 1 )
FreightAnimStatic
(
SubType ( Default )
Shape ( UP_SD40-2_2957FAb.s )
Offset ( 0.0 0.0 0.0 )
)

Id be happy to look at your issue when I get time to.

Thanks but this repaint is supposed to have only one FA. Using the previous thread as a reference to try and piece together the lines needed to add one FA, not two.

Zach- this is how I used to add FA in msts, It does not work in open rails the same.

Problem solved. Turns out I forgot the underscore and never noticed it in Zach’s post.

Thanks for the help.
