Hi all, With respect to (URL) this discussion> Tue Jakobsen from the LDD team sent me an email with the following text "I can confirm that the .lxf file is a zip file.

(...) Bruce Chamberlain postulated that the problem is due to one of the 3-axle trucks being *pushed* through the curve rather than pulled. I suspect that a rubber band between the two 3-axle trucks would help - I will try that sometime. --Bill. (17 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look. I'll have to do some testing with zziplib to see if it will work with the ldraw.org zip files. It doesn't support all zip compression schemes, but I suspect it will work. If I need XML parsing, I'll take a (...) (17 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd)

(...) It's also not hinged to another truck; it only has to rotate around its center point. Being attached to the motor truck, the 3-axle trucks in the GG1 are being pulled a little bit off center as the wheels go into the curve, and I think that's (...)

(...) A brief update ... I got it built a while ago but only today tried putting it on the tracks. Bad news, I'm afraid.

(...) I'd say it's unlikely. It would be a fairly big undertaking, and since the files can already be viewed in LDD, I'm not sure how much real benefit there would be. Additionally, do you know of any open source cross-platform libraries for (...) (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd)
