I have download the FRED (EOT device) but don't know how to get it working and be able to see it on wagons, it's a mesh file and I don't know how to use them, help please?
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
Could you supply a kuid number? There are several assets on the DLS that have the name FRED (flashing rear end device) and are EOTs (end of train devices), some of them are of type mesh and others are are of type rolling stock. Have you tried one of the rolling stock versions by bnsf50? I have used a rolling stock FRED in the past (pre TS12) and it worked like a normal rolling stock item - you added it to a consist like you would add a wagon.
I hear that the JR one only attaches to certain JR railcars
The ones on the DLS work fine on any car
They will work on any railcar, the user needs to alter the config file, and experiment with the height.

How do I do this and what do I need to do?
Copy the config file from a JR rail car that has this feature:
mesh-table
{
default
{
mesh "mesh_body/arn.im"
auto-create 1
}
body
{
mesh "mesh_body/Skeleton_Log_Car_DES.im"
auto-create 1
}
shadow
{
mesh "mesh_shadow/Shadow.im"
}
eot_f
{
mesh-asset <kuid2:45324:25503:1>
mesh "atx_att0/eot_f.im"
auto-create 0
att "a.limfront"
att-parent "body"
effects
{
blink
{
kind "corona"
att "a.light"
texture-kuid <kuid2:45324:10101:1>
object-size 0.15
frequency 1.1
wave-shift 0.5
max-distance 2000
mul-distance 150
max-size-mul 10
}
}
}
eot_r
{
mesh-asset <kuid2:45324:25503:1>
mesh "atx_att0/eot_r.im"
auto-create 0
att "a.limback"
att-parent "body"
effects
{
blink
{
kind "corona"
att "a.light"
texture-kuid <kuid2:45324:10101:1>
object-size 0.15
frequency 1.1
wave-shift 0.5
max-distance 2000
mul-distance 150
max-size-mul 10
}
}
}
}
Add these kuids in to the kuid table:
eot_lib <kuid2:45324:25503:1>
red <kuid2:45324:10101:1>
If after committing and the EOT is either too low or high on the coupler, then you need to change the mesh which is found in the eot_lib <kuid2:45324:25503:1>. These are the blue entries in the example above.
