Chinooks drop out of the train

Hey,

We noticed that after force wipe locked crates either disappear completely or drop out of train while it moves. Nothing has changed in the config for several months. 

* We are using a default "train_hard" preset and locked crates are busted in "wagon_crate_2"

* The plugin info panel shows tha there are 5 crates, however there are only 4, so players can't complete the event.

{
      "Preset name": "wagon_crate_2",
      "Prefab name": "assets/content/vehicles/trains/wagons/trainwagonb.entity.prefab",
      "Bradley preset - locations": {},
      "Turret preset - locations": {},
      "SamSite preset - locations": {},
      "NPC preset - locations": {
        "TrainNPC": [
          {
            "Position": "(-1.177, 1.458, -2.267)",
            "Rotation": "(0, 270, 0)"
          },
          {
            "Position": "(-1.177, 1.458, 0.475)",
            "Rotation": "(0, 270, 0)"
          },
          {
            "Position": "(-1.177, 1.458, 3.202)",
            "Rotation": "(0, 270, 0)"
          }
        ]
      },
      "Crate preset - locations": {
        "chinooklockedcrate_default": [
          {
            "Position": "(-0.772, 1.550, 5.693)",
            "Rotation": "(0, 180, 0)"
          },
          {
            "Position": "(-0.772, 1.550, -5.693)",
            "Rotation": "(0, 0, 0)"
          }
        ],
        "crateelite_default": [
          {
            "Position": "(1.076, 1.550, 1.047)",
            "Rotation": "(0, 270, 0)"
          },
          {
            "Position": "(1.076, 1.550, -0.609)",
            "Rotation": "(0, 270, 0)"
          },
          {
            "Position": "(1.076, 1.550, -2.359)",
            "Rotation": "(0, 270, 0)"
          }
        ]
      },
      "Decorative prefab - locations": {}
    },

Also, when spawning locked crate manually it is being pushed away from the wagon automatically. probably this is what is happening.

As I've seen those locked crates being dragged along in some cases, but outside of the wagon

Hello
Do you have this plugin?
Heli Signals
 

According to my information, it is the cause of this problem.
If you have one, try to unload it and test train.

Changed Status from Pending to Work in Progress

Hello,
yes, I can confirm that when I unload the Heli Signals plugin, everything works fine again — the issue no longer occurs. So it does seem to be the cause of the problem.

I am already using the latest version. 1.2.29

@adam
Just a quick update from my side:
I’ve now also noticed that the issue affects not only Armored Train, but also the Convoy event.
When HeliSignals is loaded, the locked crate in Convoy doesn’t appear at all.

I'm using the latest plugin versions as of July 29, 6:00 p.m.

I've also informed the developer of HeliSignals

Just wanted to clarify that so it can be taken into account during debugging.

Sputnik is also affected. Sorry.

He told me that he posted an update that should fix the problem.
