F1 cab view

[jackcary]

Is there a way of eliminating unwanted view when you press th F1 key so that you just see what is ahead with out seeing portions of the engine?

[derekmorton]

errr F1 is help?

[Erick_Cantu]

Use the #6 view instead?

That won't help, Fred!
"portions of the engine" are those parts added by a Freight Animation and are visible when using Shift+1. Erick's suggestion of #6 is OK for Open Rails but not for MSTS!

If ""portions of the engine" are those parts added by a Freight Animation" is indeed what the OP is asking about, wouldn't it be as simple as adjusting the values in this line in the cabview file?:
Position ( 0.9 3.54 7.2 ) with 7.2 being fore & aft view adjustments through the window? I have done this many times.

This is the Open Rails forum, so presumably MSTS is irrelevant...
