You can either link the

You can either link the second set of wheels to the ones that you would use in the rig or attach them together as a one object.

Truck rigging

Im trying to rig a truck that has 6 wheels but only two axles(the back wheels are side by side, not back to back). I have tried a couple of different ways for doing this but I keep receiving the same error:
The number of objects in your selection does not match the required number for this type of rig.
I have tried all of this:
-detaching all 6 wheels and trying the vehicle with two back axles option.
-attaching the back wheels together as if there were only 4 wheels and used the first option for four wheel vehicles.
-deleted the second wheel in the back and tried the first option.
nothing worksss :(
please helppp!

support for Anton

I think his work LOOKS excellent also, and I am glad you love it, I would not know if it is as good as it looks as I have not had the chance to use it, but I would like to.

If he returns your e-mails, that's great, can you please e-mail him for me and ask him to give me some support, a working license file or at least my money back.

As far as patience goes - the job I wanted to use this script for I have already submitted with out being able to use the script, which I paid for in good faith.

support for Anton

I want to share the fact that Anton has responded to any email I have sent. I think that his work is excellent. Perhaps he is on vacation at the moment, or such... you cannot expect individual developers to respond immediately to all inquiries. If you have some patience, I'm sure he'll respond.

I give Traffic Simulator two thumbs up!

Support

As e-mailed to you twice before why do you not return any e-mails and offer NO support for your product.

The license file you supplied is not working so I cannot use your script. As mentioned in the e-mails I have an important job this would be perfect for, so why do you not respond?

If you don't want to respond, give me my money back.
