Cab view issue.

[OSRFan]

Can anyone tell me why my cab views have developed a black border? Open Rails T 1.5.1-1627-g90cae11a5

Not sure why, but try:
<Ctrl> + <1>

Not sure why, but try:
<Ctrl> + <1>

From the manual:

Alternatively, if placed into letterboxing mode, by using the <Ctrl+1> key, OR will render the full cab without a clip and cover the remaining space with black bars.

[page 75 section 7.11 changing the view]
When using older aspect ratio cabviews I always use Ctrl+1 to see the whole cab....just my operating choice.
Search the manual using "cabview" and you will turn up quite a lot of information.

Hi Folks,

Monogame has the Cab Stretch feature that works well for me. The way it's set doesn't stretch the 2D graphic. Looks best in my humble opinion. You use the arrows to pan up and down.

More people need to dive in on 3D Cabs - so we can eliminate the 2D graphics altogether.

Hi OSR,
Neat, cabview, you are showing. Where did you get it?

Thank you Gerry. Crtl+1 fixed it. I must have "Crtl+1"'d some time when I should have "Alt+1"'d. I did RTFM, but missed that.

It's the cabview from the TMT GO Transit trainset.

Thanks, OSR, for letting me know.

I would agree with that. I much prefer 3d cabs. As far as I know, no commercial vendors offer them, and I know nothing about 3D model building. I'm at the mercy of whomsoever can make them for me.

I kept the cab stretch to 0% since I like to look up and down in the 2D Cab, and I like to center to look at the windshield window to see what's in front of me, giving the emersion of riding a locomotive.

Although, one thing bugs me is that I can never fully go up or down to the wedge of the 2D cab view on my end, this is fine before when I run Open Rails in the Dell Inspiron (aka the non-gaming laptop or craptop perhaps), but after I got the ASUS A16, the scrolling up and down still works but it stops before the end of the height of the cab view most of the time, and sometimes it goes the edge of the upper and down parts of the cab.
