Hi All,Here is another addition to my flatcar fleet....the 65ft flatcar now with 4x4 post load....look for it as 65ft_WL.zip in the File Library.I would have made the stacks higher...but the dreaded UID error crops up if you place too many posts on the flatcar.

RE: 65ft Flatcar with 4x4 Post Load

Tim,Unfortunately, I have not spent much time reading the FreightAnim Tag information to learn how to do the addition of other objects....it is obviously worth my time to learn this and I will look at it in a couple of days....So a short answer to your question is no.RickP.S. - the first attempt at this load with fully loaded cars brought the poly count to somewhere near 12000 and of course the dreaded UID errors...so I paired it down and this one works...I have not actually found the break point of this model yet for a full/partial load as modeled...the FriehgtAnim line would be useful to complete the stacks.

RE: 65ft Flatcar with 4x4 Post Load

check the bounding box on that flat car and the similar one with the steel load. there are some weird numbers there. could be a possible contributing factor...Tim Baldwin

RE: 65ft Flatcar with 4x4 Post Load

Tim & others,Here is the fix for the 65ft Flatcar...it should work with all the 65ft'ers I made....SD fileESD_Bounding_Box ( -1.615440 0.002377 -9.0 1.615440 1.5 9.0 )Wag FileSize ( 3.25m 1.5m 21.4m)InertiaTensor ( Box (3.25m 1.5m 21.4m)
Just change the lines indicated and it will run fine.....I have not seen any anomolies with it since the change, but I didn't see any before either.Rick

RE: 65ft Flatcar with 4x4 Post Load

I guess we posted at the same time, Rick. I hadn't had any trouble with these flat cars, but I've taken to checking bounding boxes on everything I download, payware too. it can make a big difference in the type of switching activities I enjoy. Thanks for all your hard work...Tim Baldwin
