While we were testing the DTG GP40-2 for the upcoming striped version of the Western Pacific repaint the beta testers discovered that the loco won't couple to itself. After some fiddling around I got this fixed and thought I would post what I did here. Each bin file will have to be edited individually.

Then below that is:
<FrontPivotX d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000002240" d:precision="string">9</FrontPivotX> CHANGE TO 9.13
<FrontPivotY d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000000000E0BF" d:precision="string">-0.5</FrontPivotY>
<BackPivotX d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="00000000000022C0" d:precision="string">-9</BackPivotX> CHANGE TO -9.13
<BackPivotY d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000000000E0BF" d:precision="string">-0.5</BackPivotY>
Hopefully it will now couple to itself and other items.

Thank you Buzz, I can confirm it works, now only another 30+ .bin files to change

I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.

Within what folder are the coupler front and rear bin files located? I Inside or outside the .ap file?

They are in the Engine folder for each loco and each variation e.g. nd, running, C & D need to be amended.

If I build a file structure outside the .ap then these will be safe from overwriting during a file verify?
