4 wheel wagon problem

Has anyone experienced this problem before?

I searched and searched these forums for an answer and all I can find is that it is a problem with the game. If that is the case how come the wagon on the left behaving fine.

This is starting to get very frustrating now.

Any ideas?

It seems that you have fantom bogie between front and back wheels. Also it possible that pivots point are overlap.

I've had plenty of these sort of problems before, but not this one! Does this only happen on gradients? If so and the wagon isn't 'tilting' up or down to stay on the track I would say it's a pivot issue, the x values are probably under-exaggerated, make sure they are set to around buffer distance from the center of the wagon.

I actually like the pic though, does it remind anyone else of Vin Diesel's muscle car in the Fast and the Furious? :D

Has anyone noticed that the sleepers and chairs are on the level too, or is it me.

Very Odd

I can only suggest that the centre of the group is not set in a horizontal/vertical orientation. Does it look the same when the wagons are placed the other way round.

Interesting comment about the sleepers and chairs. I cannot find any track where the 3D sleepers and chairs stay level on a gradient. Perhaps the track is to blame.
