kelsa 144nd log transport

[fer-marino]

hi,
I'm using this log trailer (without crane) and I'm having a couple of issues.

• The starting loading area is too small and I have to resize it (which works perfectly).
• The log trailer can be extended with the right mouse button, and this seems to reset the loading area to the very small initial one. It reset to the configured one if I reload the game.

Apart from this, excellent work and thank you!

cheers,
Fernando

Thanks, I have not added the extending mechanism back in yet from FS22 as I didn't know we had any vehicles that extended. I'll see if it still works.

I can't reproduce the resetting area, but as a temporary measure to get the extending working you can add lengthAxis="AXIS_FRONTLOADER_ARM2"
e.g.:

        <vehicle configFileName="data/vehicles/kesla/nd144/nd144.xml">
            <configuration selectedConfigs="1">
                <options isLogTrailer="true"/>
                <loadingArea offset="-0.003 1.406 -0.173" width="2.253564" length="3.995723" height="1.624148" lengthAxis="AXIS_FRONTLOADER_ARM2"/>
            </configuration>
            <configuration selectedConfigs="2">
                <options isLogTrailer="true"/>
                <loadingArea offset="-0.003 1.235 0.034" width="2.206015" length="4.633835" height="1.617984" lengthAxis="AXIS_FRONTLOADER_ARM2"/>
            </configuration>
        </vehicle>

found by looking for that axis name in the vehicle xml:

        <movingTools>
            <movingTool node="drawbarPhysics" foldMinLimit="0.5" foldMaxLimit="1" >
                <controls axis="AXIS_CRANE_ARM" invertAxis="false" mouseSpeedFactor="0.3" iconName="DRAWBAR_ROTATE_X" />
                <rotation rotSpeed="25" rotAcceleration="300" rotMax="30" rotMin="-30" rotationAxis="2" />
                <inputAttacherJoint value="true" />
                <dependentPart node="drawbar" />
            </movingTool>

            <movingTool node="backExtendedPart" foldMinLimit="0.5" foldMaxLimit="1" playSound="true">
                <controls axis="AXIS_FRONTLOADER_ARM2" invertAxis="true" mouseSpeedFactor="0.3" iconName="CRANE_ARM2_TRANSLATE" />
                <translation transSpeed="0.6" transAcceleration="80" transMax="0" transMin="-0.93" startTrans="0" translationAxis="3" />
