Free Internal Camera

[saiyuki]

Hi guys.

Whilst it's possible to move the external camera's utilising the right mouse + direction keys, I cannot find anyway of doing the same with the cab internal forward view (#1). It's either look left/right, or tilt up/down. Quite often i find that i cannot see the track in front because the camera is either too low, or not able to see through a forward window because of the camera's position is not aligned to view through it. An option to actually move the camera left/right, or move the camera up/down would be a lot better.

Is there a way to do this? I have a large amount of different trains and would welcome a way of achieving this.

Use or create and use a 3dCabview. The camera for a 3dCabview is free to move and rotate.

Hi Update Me !

This is the ORTS forum and its camera options can be viewed by pressing F1 when running a route !

The ORTS camera views within a MSTS 2D Cab are governed by the camera positions for that cabview.
While some changes can be made to the camera positions, OR can only interpret what is given in the CVF.
There is a Position and Direction line for each of the three cabviews - main, left (conductor) and right views.
Changes are made to these lines ( bold green ) in the CVF.

CabViewFile ( "..\\..\\common.Cab\\CABVIEW_EMD_SD60M\\CABVIEW\\C P_AC4400_sideview.ace" )
CabViewWindow ( 0 0 640 480 )
CabViewWindowFile ( "" )
Position ( 1 2.862 8.8 )
Direction ( 5 75 0 )

The only other alternative is as Charles suggests.
