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

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.

Here are the corrected bins for DRGW,UP,WP,WP_1976,WP_Bi. If anyone needs others and doesn't know how to do it just holler. Backups are included.

Thank you Buzz, you make easy for an old guy.

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

Yes it will be.

Thank you, all connected.

Could you do the CSX.

Yes is it the same model? I have a CSX in the same pack. Is that the one you need? DTG\GP40-2Pack01\RaolVehicles\Diesel\GP40-2\CSX

Pack 1

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG\GP40-2Pack01

This link includes all of the GP40-2 bin files.
