MLT SD-45 Cab View Glitch

[ForestHIllsRob]

When changing from the No. 1 cabview to the No. 2 outside view, and then back to No. 1, the position of the engineer's window changes in relation to the track view.

Any ideas/solutions would be appreciated.

Use ctrl 8 and that will recenter the view. Good luck.

I tried ctrl 8, but that recenters a cabview that's been changed up or down using the arrow keys.

I'm attaching two screen shots, which show what happens after going to an outside view, and then back to the cab.

Hi Rob,

Does this happen with other locomotives? If not, what are the forward position (top section) values contained in the cab view file?

Hi Hack:

This seems to be specific to this locomotive.

Here's the .cvf information:

CabViewType ( 2 )
CabViewFile ( "..\\..\\MLT_REQUIRED\\MLT_CABS\\SP_Std\\sd45Front .ace" )
CabViewWindow ( 0 25 611 310 )
CabViewWindowFile ( "..\\..\\MLT_REQUIRED\\MLT_CABS\\SP_Std\\AcWndFrn. ace" )
Position ( 0.8 3.0 6.1 )
Direction ( 10 -15 0 )
CabViewFile ( "..\\..\\MLT_REQUIRED\\MLT_CABS\\SP_Std\\sd45Left. ace" )
CabViewWindow ( 20 50 620 300 )
CabViewWindowFile ( "..\\..\\MLT_REQUIRED\\MLT_CABS\\SP_Std\\AcWndLft. ace" )
Position ( 1.0 3.5 6.1 )
Direction ( 8 -80 0 )
CabViewFile ( "..\\..\\MLT_REQUIRED\\MLT_CABS\\SP_Std\\sd45Right .ace" )
CabViewWindow ( 0 0 640 480 )
CabViewWindowFile ( "..\\..\\MLT_REQUIRED\\MLT_CABS\\SP_Std\\AcWndRgt. ace" )
Position ( 1.0 3.0 6.1 )
Direction ( 8 60 0 )

I'm keeping the correct view when I changed "viewing vertical fov" to 35, under options, video. Any thoughts on this?

Try changing the sixth line from Direction ( 10 -15 0 ) to Direction ( 10 0 0 ) and see if that changes things.

This is a known feature/bug in OR, occurs in many cabs. Do not know if it has been fixed.

Quite correct, many forums have that feature. If the starter of the thread is interested I'm sure they will make the effort to complete the required formalities to enable login. If not, not - certainly their choice.

Along with this forum it is another place to find information, if so desired.
