If you mean where do you put the attachment points then a.couple0 is on the face of the front buffer beam at z=0 and a.couple1 is on the face of the rear beam, also at z=0. TC3 provides plenty of examples of configs and scripts including BlueStar (actually ACS these days) mounted on bogies (the Class 40).

Both points are at x=0. ACS works with BlueStar and CoupleStar vehicles but has more possibilities (ACS is actually BlueStar 2). The coupler points must be 0.46m from the a.limfront and a.limback points.thanks. I was meaning the X axis as well as Z. If X=0 was the centre of the vehicle where would the attachment points go on the X axis?
ACS? would the class 37s on the DLS (which has got bluestar couplelings) work with the ACS System?
I always hated that new automatic coupling system because i thought that none of the other vehicles worked with it. and so the content that had acs couplings was rendered useless.
A complete ACS config is quite complex but I'll post one if you don't have TC3 yet. ACS vehicles still need the old BlueStar tags to work properly though.What is the config.txt supposed to say for ACS? I still use the Bluestar entries and they work fine but cmp does flag them as errors.

Well. I have researched the ACS coupling when it first came out (the website was a UK trainz website).If I were you I'd find out about a new system before hating it in the future.

I have got the picture of it and I had posted the picture on the thread which you had suggested.Ben1337, of curiosity, have you got a screenshot of the loco you have created? I'd be interested to see it. Plus if you want, you can create a render and upload it to this thread: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=4412
The ACSLib is available on Bloodnok's site (vsr), but I'm not sure that is the latest version as included in TC3, I'll have to check.Does anyone know if there any plans to release the ACSLib via the dls for versions pre-TC3- or is it already there under another name?
You'll have to ask Bloodnok that, but the latest changes to ACSLib were about adding features and improving performance so older stock should still work. For the terminally confused there is (AFAIK) only one standard for working couplings and that is BlueStar. BlueStar, CoupleStar and ACS are different implementations of this standard, ACS having more features but still compatible with the others.If TC3 had got a more modern version. will his MK3 carriages be compatible?
P.S. (off topic) on the trainz classics site you got the rolling stock named "BR 'Presflo'" and "10T Meat van" names mixed up with the pictures.
