    Arming/Disarming EOT's

    I've read the Open Rails Manual several times, tried different things, even installed Borislav's ES44v3 Cabviews, and still can't seem to get the EOT to arm up. I am currently using ORTS 1.5.1, which may be the issue, But scrolling through the CVF's from Borislav, it doesn't see to have the information provided in the manual, to get the EOT to arm up via the cabview and mouse clicks. Then again looking at the CVF file, some of the textures they show in the manual for the ORTS EOT set up, doesn't show in Borislav's cabview folder of the ES44.

    What I am referring to, by the textures, are this.
    "Graphic ( "..\\..\\Common.Cab\\ES44v3\\softkey5trans.ace " )" Not even included in the ES44v3 file system here in the library..

    I do apologize if this seems vague, but surely, someone here has managed to arm up Erick's EOT's..

    The instructions and what not can be found here.

    The manual used Boris's cabview for illustration only- "a sample case" --- how to set a cabview/cvf file up to communicate with an EOT device. I thought that an actual working cabview had not been made for general release....could be wrong.

    Just to make sure...a question...you have set up the ORTS_EOT folder in the TRAINS folder?

    In post #25 Carlo posted a downloadable demo pack. -- Link to Elvas Tower development thread below:

      Ah, Yes, I see, I need to actually set up an entire new cabview for this operation.. great, grand, wonderful..

      Correct, they are installed as per Erick's instructions. I have even gone ahead and made some of my own.

      "D:\MSTS\TRAINS\ORTS_EOT" with folders on the inside, again, as per instructions from Erick.
      "NAVS_COMMON"
      "NAVS_EOT_Set1"
      plus my own set
      "DRS_EOTs"

      First screen shot, shows them all available for use, second shot shows one of my many NBMR ones being used.
