    Cab sway, or "Vibration"?

    It was mentioned on another forum (the RW forum) that cab "vibration" had been initiated in Open Rails, in one of the experimental versions.

    Is this correct and, if so, just what form does this vibration take.....is it a swaying motion, a random juddering of the view.....what?

    The only "vibration" that I have seen in OR is from an external view and involves the MILW box-cab electrics; sometimes they seem to have St. Vitus dance, most likely a combination of track graduations and the number of moving body parts in the lash-up.

    You can ty it out using the latest "experimental" version, vibration is not enabled by default but is enabled under the options>experimental tab.

      It is?
      I've just downloaded the latest version (X1502 of 23rd. March) and there's no sign of anything relating to cab sway or vibration under any of the tabs, Lindsay.

        It is a keystroke combination of CTRL-V to toggle thru the various levels 1, 2, 3 and then back to 0...

          Ctrl-V is the key to activate, increase and deactivate.

            Many thanks, lads.
            I was looking under the Experimental tab; should have looked under Keyboard.

              Well, that certainly works but I am in two minds about the effect.

              In a nutshell, the motion is too regular and reminds me very much of being on a small boat that is caught in three sizes of wake, moving across the face of the wavelets (I used to sail). There is an almost circular motion repeated at timed intervals.

              I ended up going back to default.

                  You can't do it in MSTS, only OR.
