I had the same result, with a log load, and ended up using shape file manager to shift things to where I wanted them.

Have you contacted the author of the program about the problems you get with it. He is a very helpful guy, and when you get it running the program is quite amazing in its capabilities.mervyn@madasafish.com

havent tried multi loades , but a guess would be to rename the extra load with a different name and add another line to the wag file just under the one for the first load ,, try it see if it worksPatm41

Hey Rob,Did you create the tractor model in some program (GMAX, TSM, etc.)? If so, try this:1) Load the single tractor in the program
2) Make a copy of the entire tractor
3) Paste the copied tractor to the right (or left) of the original one
4) Link both tractors together (as one part) and center the axis between the tractors
5) Compile and saveI'm guessing if you did something like that, MSTS would treat the two tractors as a single load and allow you to put both of them on the flatcar.Brian.
