DAR V3 RSC-24 Locomotive Cab-View

[Don6218]

Hello, just got around to running one of the activities in the new DAR V3 and this is the view from the cab. This is the first time I have used any of these Locomotives. Outside views are all normal, just the Inside View is not right.

Any suggestions before I start messing up? It happens to be #1803.

Here is what I am seeing:

I take it you are using MSTS and Not Open Rails? There is a definait difference between the two programs and other then making two sets of cabview files there isn't anything else I can do about it.

This is the last time I'm make any attempt to get a route to run in both sims, it's just a lot of extra time involved.

Nope, all I have is Open Rails. You make such great and unique models, your SW's are fine, I have used them without any issues as well as the Amtrak German Turbo.

I will do some experimenting with some of the RS Unit cabs I have on hand.

Do not beat yourself up over this, it is juts a Cab-View, and something will work just as well. Some of these cab views get so complicated to install and use, not your fault. The new and old routes you have done are great and work a treat in OR even on my old machine.

Maybe it is time to do away with MSTS Compatible and go for Open Rails Only. The Nay-Sayers will always have something to say, ignore them, at least for a bit.

You on a laptop Don? I'm running the same activity right now on a Windows 7 machine with a 3 x 4 monitor and nothing wrong. I'll have a look on this laptop and see what I can see.

It's fine here on this Windows 10 laptop, my monitor settings are at 1024x768 pixels,, check yours and change it to this to see if that makes a difference.

Try this,I altered the .cvf file by adjusting the position RS3Cab.cvf Position ( 1.05 3.70 -4.30 )

[Don6218]

Nope, Desk-Top and that is the only view that is messed up. All the other views are fine.
OS= Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0.18363)
I am using OR Version = X1.3.1-185-g660c677dBuild = 0.0.7475.33192 (2020-06-19 18:26:24Z)
Logfile = C:\Users\Dontl\Desktop\OpenRailsLog.txt
Executable = RunActivityLAA.exe

Maybe that helps? I am going to try the stable version of OR and see if that makes a difference. I will also try bennycdn's suggestion first then play around with it.

Thank you

Doesn't matter if it's a desk top or laptop, it's the video setting in the game.

You also need to edit the direction line to Direction ( 5 -15 0 )

[charland]

There's no reason to edit the cvf file at all, you just need to change the monitor setting in OR Options, it has no effect on the set of the game.

Using original CVF file. Changed OR Options Video Tab Window Size to 1024 x 768. Now Cabview looks like Don reported in post#1.

[charland]

Here's what I see with my cvf file and the same 1024x768 pixel settings, so there is something else at Don's end that needs to be changed.

Found the cause. In Video, look at you Viewing Vertical (FOV). Mine has been set to 60 for ever. If I raise that to 100 I do not see any of the long hood. If I lower it to 40 I see what you see, the open end of the hood, but a little more open, so I would guess yours is set to 50, try 60 and see if that helps.

Hey, a bit of fiddling but I found a setting that seems to work for me, changed the same line as bennycdn recommended but here is what I settled on:
CabViewWindow ( 0 0 1024 768 )
CabViewWindowFile ( "" )
Position ( 1.05 3.70 -4.10 )
Direction ( 5 -20 0 )
I do not like changing aspects of the computer screen when it is fine for the majority of my use and for my install of OR.

That is what I get with the CVF File edited as below at 1024x768 or at 1360x768
