Problem with Towing Tractor

[Phantom 11]

Hey all,

i'm new in modelling, i have read many tutorials (pmc) and have build simple "things"... now the A2 Content is free for porting, so i decide to port first the Towing Tractor. I have an phsyx lod in the car, everything seems ok, but the vehicle is crooked to the left side (see pictures) !! Because it's under APL, i can post or send the project data if someone wants to help me !! :)

Thanks for helping me...

Have you checked where the CG (Center of gravity) is on the Geometry LOD?

For that, Select All (Ctrl + A) and look where the pink/blue (cannot remember) point is in the 3D preview (Without Direct3D active).

Hey

have look at it... seems to be ok !!

http://mods.24th-sts.eu/external/tractor.jpg

Any other ideas ??

Other point : if i write simlulation=carx in config, the tractor don't move... an idea why ??

Thanks for helping me...

Do you have the PhysX LOD with the components? (Structure -> Topology -> Find Components). If you use carx you need to do that.
