Ferry Ramp Door goes into the air or under water

[kityatyi]

Hello!

I have difficulties finding out how to operate some ferry boat's ramp doors. They seem to use the elevator keys (up and down) but when operated, instead of gently sitting down, or going up, the doors rise in the air or sink below the water... Is this something with the boat or something with the game?

Thanks for the attention,
Zsolt

Hello!

No in either case. have a look at the user manual.

I checked the manual but I couldn't find the relevant topic. Please don't misundrestand: the ramp door DOES move when using the elevator (up/down) keys - but I assume that it supposed to move differently. It moves vertically uo to the sky or deep into the sea, but I believe the normal movement would be kind of 90 degree movement from vertical to horizontal so that vehicles can exit using the door as bridge. I would appreciate further information.

Sincerely,
Zsolt

Try crtl+D

When pressing CTRL+D unfortunately nothing happens except a weird noise can be heard but the door does not move at all.

It moves vertically uo to the sky or deep into the sea,

And when you take your finger off in time ?

I press the UP (or DOWN) key once, and the ramp door goes up (or down) in segments, totally vertically. If I press the key just once, it goes up a little, if I press multiple times or press hard, then it goes up (or down) quite high in the air (down into the water). See the attached images please. But - I think this problem is related to the few boats that I downloaded from "GNM Shipyards" - the other ferries operate their doors normally.

This shows obviously a bad modelling and wrong parameters in the cfg.

[kityatyi]

If I modify some values in the .cfg file, will it fix the issue or is it more like a modelling problem?

Howdy,
I'll take a guess at this.

This model was probably not created for VSF originally.
Although many models convert perfectly as far as 'door' function.

So I guess I know nothing.
And I'm not familiar with this particular boat.

My guess is that the pivot point is off, and that would be a modeling fix, not available in .cfg files.
