Crash course in Couplers...

Unread postby TVRRMAN » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:59 pm

Ok, here's a good those knowledgeable in coupler settings. if coupling your own couplers to a car with the standard couplers, what would cause both couplers (where the two different ones interlock) to disappear, while cars coupled to the others utilizing one's own standard couplers display properly? !*snd-help*!

I've posted this here because I'm not sure where I should be looking for my answer at. Note: this happens when mating to any coupler, not just the examples shown.

Incompatible coupling receiving points, I'd imagine. Check under the models with the free camera, you'll probably find the attached couplers somewhere.

Got it... Kali, apparently the problem was in how I'd labeled the couplers. under type, I was being too specific, when in reality, the US couplers seem to list as "buckeye" in this section. Needless to say, after that modification, I'm seeing couplers again. Thanks for the assistance. *!!thnx!!* !*YAAA*!
