Springs again...Last resort - open the first node of the tail - under there you
will fid a node hidden - unhide it, branch select it, select child nodes, then
plot rotations, cut this node out of the tail, and delete the tail stuff left
behind - If you got the right hidden node, it will work fine - no more sim
though, so save first and save this one as a Farm Render scene!!

 Similar situation to a problem I had a few weeks ago, except now I'm on XSI 4
.2. I've a whole load of spring-based animation (all done with the starndard XSI
Tail), but when it comes to rendertime (batchserver) all the simulation (tail
springyness) is lost. Even when I have cacheing enabled, and even regenerate
the cache etc from the 'TailControl' PPG. The cache works when scrubbing
through the timeline, and when rendering on a single machine, but not when
multiple machines are rendering...

 I tried running the animation-plotting script someone kindly posted, but
although it worked a treat on version4.0, it doesn't work on v4.2.

 Can anyone help?
