Without being able to give you a reason, maybe someone here more experienced can jump in, the instance name mc\_long seemed to be the problem. I changed it to mclong, and it worked fine. Weird, but it’s a fix!

Here ya go, all I did was change your instance names, you’ll see. It’s a tiny little line though, just the scales you set up.
