Buffers on Virgin MK 3 Coaches

coxy64 · Post by **coxy64** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 5:05 pm

Hi Chaps

I have just installed the Virgin MK 3 Coaches, and made a consist the same as the ReadMe suggests.
When I load this consist in Trainsim I don't see any Buffers on the Coaches!

However when I load the Coach.s file, and the Buffers.s files into MSTS Shape Viewer I see both shapes but the Buffers are miles from the Coach.

Back in the Sim I can see what appears to be a Buffer Head trying to protrude through the end of one of the Coaches.

I have also installed the new Scotrail MK 3 Sleepers which also use I believe the Freight Anim Trick for the Buffers, with no problems.

Have I missed a fix for the Virgin Coaches?

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What is the file number of the Virgin coaches?

I'll download them and have a look.

Shape Viewer displays freight animations in a different way to the sim. They should work OK in the sim.

He's normally around to ask

Thanks for quick reply.
I cant find the File ID No. for the Virgin Loco Hauled MK 3 Coaches.
However the File Name was VT_Loco_Hauled_Mk.3s

Doing a search for this on uktrainsim returns no results, so I don't know if they have been removed, but I only downloaded them about 2 Weeks ago can E-Mail over if you cant find them.

Also really like the Scotrail Sleeper Set, I often pass these on the WCML whilst at work.
Could you suggest a Prototype consist for these?

Sorry, only just noticed this post, although im a bit busy at the moment. Should get chance to have a look at the weekend and sort them.

Also, could you please make ysure you have formed the train correctly. The Loco Hauled Coaches have _LH added to them. As you see in the upload screen, the buffers showed up for me. Also approaching the 600 downloads mark, and you making the first complain, has no one else bothered to use them, or is just an error that no one sees, (if there is one).

Like I said, ill look into it Gary.

I've figured out the problem with the coaches and send the files to Backfoot.

Should be sorted out soon.
