    Cab views in OR vs MSTS

    I'm wondering how one might tweak the cab views of some locomotives so that they render properly in OR? When I fire up a route, sometimes I get no warnings, other times I get a lot of warnings. Most of the time they look something like this:

    Warning: Cab control size 60x40 is smaller than frame size 180x13 (frames may be cut-off) for C:\2MSTS-DAR\trains\trainset\CPSW10pk\CABVIEW\EMD Reverser.ace:day.

    Warning: Cab control size 60x40 is smaller than frame size 180x13 (frames may be cut-off) for C:\2MSTS-DAR\trains\trainset\CPSW10pk\CABVIEW\EMD Reverser.ace:night.

    Warning: Cab control size 28x28 is smaller than frame size 32x32 (frames may be cut-off) for C:\2MSTS-DAR\trains\trainset\CPSW10pk\CABVIEW\MPSW-bell.ace:night.

    Warning: Cab control size 28x28 is smaller than frame size 32x32 (frames may be cut-off) for C:\2MSTS-DAR\trains\trainset\CPSW10pk\CABVIEW\MPSW-reset.ace:night.

    Warning: Cab control size 150x30 is smaller than frame size 75x60 (frames may be cut-off) for C:\2MSTS-DAR\trains\trainset\CPSW10pk\CABVIEW\SW IndBrake.ace:day
    OR will try to reverse the dimension (may not work), better to change the CVF file accordingly.

    The cab view from OR is highlighted with the differences. The reverser does not seem to render properly. The automatic (train brake) does not even move and the independent isn't there. Everything is present and accounted for in MSTS. This does not have any effect on function in OR. Everything works as it should.

    I did attempt to modify the CVF file as per the suggestion in the log file, but it did not work. I was able to successfully "correct" (or at least make disappear) the errors for the bell and the deadman reset (which, incidentally, seems to be a sticky, not a button).

    Also, my cab editor doesn't even open the cvf for these locomotives, it just crashes instantly.

    Suggestions welcome!

      You are going to have to fiddle with your cab stretch and FOV settings.

          Will that work in my case as well? Most cabs come out alright. There are only two that do not.
