Coupling Issue

hi i was trying to install some car mods for the big boy and in the quick drive editor i keep on getting 'coupling issue' i dont know how to fix this and i would like to get it working some how -builder

 

Ok... firstly a silly question...

Are the cars you are trying to couple compatible with what you are trying to couple to???

By that I mean you aren't trying to couple a knuckle equipped boxcar to a buffered screw link (UK type) wagon / coach are you???

The other thing you can try but I don't know where it is in settings but there's an option to make TS "ignore" coupler types and couple / join stock regardless...

i am new to train sim but i think so i am trying to get these wagons

on a fef the aux cars are working just fine but the other ones are not these are us wagons on a us engine

and where is that setting

 

Having started the game and before you do anything else click on Settings in the top right corner
Then Gameplay and make sure Allow All Coupling is ticket - I also have Auto Coupling ticked

 

Thanks Peter...

I've been out all day & not had chance to trawl through TSC settings for the OP... You just saved me a job...

i have that on and its not working still

 

This is a Gameplay setting so it would allow you to couple in a scenario but it won't allow you to build a consist

 

Maybe some of our cousins across the pond can possibly make some helpful suggestions... Cyclone maybe???

Eric

 

that would be great im just trying to fix this problem

 

What happens when you place the two types of loco / wagon on the track and you try to couple each other by Driving - not in the Editor

 

I have a sneaking suspicion this did work at some point, since back in my ancient times I did run something like a GP9 pulling a moderate string of Mk3s up from Reno to Colfax or somesuch. Maybe you need to click something or after spawning the consist, couple again.
It was 7+ years ago, I don't remember, also deleted the screenies, so it's bordering the tales of legend.
(Shortly after I ended up exploring enough and got less unrealistic. Ultimately recommend the same to OP.)

 

i would but im not really aware of how to do this i am very new

 

boop

 

Have a watch of this

Then this one

These may not be the locos you are talking about but it all works the same way

 

alright will do just gotta find time here soon ill update when i can

 

well i got it to work i just have to do that from now on thank you for all the help over the past 2 weeks
