Observation Error...

Well this one is semi-severe, but at the same time, funny. Laughing

It's the flat end observation car used in the Amtrak Southeast pack, and the Northeast pack... This image speaks for itself I think.

Uhm, whoops? XD

Only happens during a curve in the tracks... Dear oh dear how are we going to explain this to maintenance? Rolling Eyes

Rough ride, too, I expect. I'll check it out

VERY interesting. This affliction actually effected two cars, obs lounge #3335 and the Sunroom car. The cause was something I hadn'tseen before.

When you create a shape for MSTS, it expects bogies with wheels to be part of the shape. they are defined (for a set of four wheel bogies) as:

Bogie1 - wheel11, wheel12

Bogie2 - wheel21, wheel22

Somehow, these two cars had the bogie2 wheels referenced to bogie1 and vice-versa:

Bogie1 - wheel21, wheel22

Bogie2 - wheel11, wheel12

I'm surprised they even ran!!!

A patch has been added to the Patch/Update section that fixes both sets of problems reported by Kazareh.

Glad to be of help with this! Very Happy

I'll be runnin this shortly to get the set fixed! Glad I could help get this sorted out.

Edit: Well...ONE MORE thing needs to be done. IF you have time for it, as this is minor and something I fixed myself. Just figure I'd point it out since this is payware and all. The diner view is good, but...If you pay close attention? You're sitting BACKWARDS in your seat. Need to reverse the start direction by 180*, or move the head position a bit more towards the non-kitchen end so it's in the other seat.

I reckon I'd look pretty silly sitting backwards in a diner seat. Laughing
