    Cabview appears outside locomotive?

    I know there is a sub forum for Cabviews, but since this is an OR model, I have not been able to test it in MSTS and see if the problem happens there as well.
    I have installed a Czech locomotive, and for some odd reason I cannot see the cabview when running this locomotive. I have tried multiple cabviews, and the same thing happens: I get placed just outside the locomotive on the front where the windows are.

    Is anyone else familiar with this problem and know what the solution is?

    The clue may be in your OpenRailslog.txt file found on the desktop, have you checked it when this happens?

      Probably a position error. Need to adjust the values in the Position line that follows the
      CabViewFile ( "..\\..\\(TrainSetFolder)\\Cabview\\xxxxxxxxxCab_F ront.ace" line near the beginning of your
      Trains\Trainset\(TrainSetFolder)\Cabview\xxxxx.cvf file.

        If it's a 2D cab, it may be a texture issue. If so, there is a valid .cvf file, but it can't find the texrures it needs.

        If it's a 3D cab, position is a likely candidate. I don't know how a misplaced shape file is handled, but it may be worth checking that
