Changing Loaded Weights of Rolling Stock?

[IronBidder]

I've recently got the Falns wagons from the market place and it's obvious from physics and what's reported in the QD consist builder that the empty weight is being incorrectly applied when loaded.

How can I increase the loaded weight please?

Will rolling friction increase with weight?

Bump, in the hope someone can help.

In the .bin file, look for a line beginning

Code: Select all

					<Mass d:type="sFloat32" 

and adjust the value. You may have to play about with it a bit to get the feel "just so".

Gary, thanks.

Is that loaded or unloaded mass please?

If the wagons come with loaded and unloaded variants you'll only have the loaded mass to play with. If they're a "one bin does both" affair you may have a pair of settings, so you'd edit the loaded one.

Gary, thanks, that works.

The wagons come as separate empty and loaded models, so there's just one mass figure per model to vary.

Is there a rolling friction variable?

There should be, look for something like this in the .bin file:

Code: Select all

					<RollingFrictionCoefficient d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000402AA9433F" d:precision="string">0.0006</RollingFrictionCoefficient>
					<DryFriction d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000000000E03F" d:precision="string">0.5</DryFriction>
					<WetFriction d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000000000D03F" d:precision="string">0.25</WetFriction>
					<SnowFriction d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000403333C33F" d:precision="string">0.15</SnowFriction>
					<SandFrictionMultiplier d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000C0CCCCF43F" d:precision="string">1.3</SandFrictionMultiplier>

It's generally just after the couplings section.
