I'm been away from the game for about 6 months, due to PC problems. After getting those corrected, I decided to upgrade to OR a few days ago. I'm still figuring out the differences and nuances from MSTS, but am hoping I can get some help, relative to camera views. I'm trying to get something similar to the #4 view that was in MSTS, particularly the view that allowed you to view the entire train as it passed at a right angle (in view 4, using the arrow keys while holding down the Ctrl key). I've read the section in the latest OR Manual, but am having a heck of a time understanding how to get something other than the slightly enhanced view using the 8 (free camera view) key. I admit that I'm still learning, and there seems to be many different options for viewing. I'm just hoping to get a simplified explanation, as I'm not the strongest when it comes to computer-operations. Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance.

You can position and chase it by hitting "4", followed by "8". That sets that camera in a free roam state. Using the arrow, page up/down, home\end, and various key combos for your preferred view will let you get acquainted with the functionality. I too was looking for the MSTS "4" equivalent when I first messed with OR.
The key combos for the free roam really puts you anywhere you want to be, once you familiarize yourself with using them in the sim.Neil
