RE: FreightAnim question
I believe that the object specified in the freightanim tag has to be static, but I'm not totally sure of it. Best to try it using simple objects with simple animations.Ted Curphey

RE: FreightAnim question
The FrieghtAnim tag does not support objects with animation - they can be animated, but won't work except as a static attachment. The tag line in the ENG file is what the sim reads and animates up and down over a distance (such as in coal loads in tenders). Note: if you're thinking of making animated loads/empties, it doesn't work all that great.Cheers!
