    What's the north american 3d cab count at?

    So just what I know of already, being dekosoft's Mainline power and GP30 sets, the NAVS SOO GP9Rs, GP7s, 25-ton and 70-ton switchers, the PRR S-2 turbine on elvas tower, the UP SD70Ms by andrey tucker-wells, a union pacific turbine prototype that's on a spanish train sim site somewhere, all of tyler bundy's various models, the generic SD40-2 that's on github, and the 3dtrains ATSF F7 (although I don't know if I should still count that).

    Is there anything that I'm missing?

    Many BLW/ZT models also have 3d cabs.

      Are there any routes that come with a train with a 3D cab? Something someone can just "load and go" without having to edit files, use a consist editor, etc...?

        Sadly no routes. Wish that would change someday...

        The BLW/ZT just uses a passenger view to "mimic" a 3d cab, in my mind I don't really count those.

          I'm fine with the 3D cab being a passenger view. Using a mouse for controls is a pain in the ass. Would much rather use the keyboard...
          If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!

            Yep, I agree, not really a 3D Cab, ...no one else was doing that when they introduced them. Was the inside view made possible with MSTS-Bin or was that part of the original game?

              I have seen a few items in the file library that did a similar thing, but not as much as BLW was.

                Stock MSTS allowed for a single passenger view in an entire train. MSTS BIN lets you cycle through multiple cars/locomotives with passenger views.

                  Thanks Mr. Squarewheels 😉 -- my MSTS history has gaps in it.
