    Cab View & Weather.

    When I Open an Activity in OR I'm so Close to the Control Stand/Console I can't Even See The Various Controls. I Tried CTRL 1 but it Just Made the Screen Smaller.
    Can I Change the Weather in Activities that Don't Allow it?

      Original Scenic Sub, Even in the Scenic Sub that is in Open Rails it Was Too Close. I Could just See the Top of the Reverse Lever in Both Routes.

        THAT is a "feature" of Streamlines cab views. Just like looking at you PC monitor you have to look down to see the keyboard. YYou can change your head position or change the FOV.
        Look in the OR manual on how to change thee FOV.

            Many of the older Streamlines (SLI) cabviews for all sorts of locomotives looked truncated...as Charles posted what you are seeing on the screen is all there is --- there ain't no more.

              It's how you see out of the cab in real life too, got to look down in order to see the controls.

                I can't believe we are here discussing (defending?) disk-supplied content from 2005. We have lost the plot.
