3D cabs?

[weejam]

I see that OR supports the use of 3D cabs. Is there any content manufacturer considering this option. Yes it would be a lot more work but I bet a lot would be willing to pay the extra. I mean Hell I pay 40 plus US dollars for planes in FSX and never once used the 2D cockpits. I know the railsim franchise has them but I really don't like Railsim and that is just personal preference on my part.

just wondering if Dieselswest or Trainsimulations is considering this in future products?

Erick Cantu has posted his work in 3D cabs in the threads here and at ET. Work looks good, you should search for those threads.
At ET search for "3D Cabs" and quite a few threads will turn up...not so much here.
There are some European ones that are very nice.
Lindsayts at ET has posted some screenshots of his work...don't know if it's ready for public release.
3DTrains has an excellent 3D cab for F-Units (payware) >>>

What's the button to get to the 3D cabs for these locos??

[Erick_Cantu]

Alt+1 if it has 2D and 3D cabs, 1 if only a 3D cab.

To add what Eric said and just in case you really meant to say "How do I see a picture of the 3dCab on the on the Dekosoft web page." look at either the BNSF or CSX Mainline Power pages. Both have an app that rotates thru multiple pictures. Pictures of the 3dCabs are included.

Yeah, I got the locos, just didn't know how to get back to the 3D can after hitting the 1 key for the regular cab.

If you only run in OR, you can comment out the CabView line for the 2dCab as Eric points out the 1 key and the ALT-1 result in the 3dCab.

My experience is that deleting or commenting out the 2D cab line causes the locomotive to not load, but specifying an invalid cabview just causes the 3D cab to become the default. I reference a nonexistent "null.cvf."
