MEP Deltic Cabview

Hi guys sorry to be a pain again

Is there anyway to get a realistic forward view in the MEP Deltic cab, please.

Up and down keys just change the horizon.

Could do with a way to change the eye level height in cab.

Hi Mike,

In your MEP Trainset open the CABVIEW folder, then open MEPdelticAirC and the first few lines should be as below

CabViewType ( 2 )
CabViewFile ( ../../common.MEP/DelticCabMEP/Front1024.ace )
CabViewWindow ( 0 0 640 480 )
CabViewWindowFile ( ../../common.MEP/DelticCabMEP/Front1024.ace )
Position ( -0.9 3.15 6.2 )
Direction ( 16 5 0 ) THIS IS THE LINE TO ALTER
CabViewFile ( ../../common.MEP/DelticCabMEP/Left1024.ace )
CabViewWindow ( 0 0 640 480 )
CabViewWindowFile ( ../../common.MEP/DelticCabMEP/Left1024.ace )
Position ( 0 3.15 6.2 )
Direction ( 10 -78 0 )
CabViewFile ( ../../common.MEP/DelticCabMEP/Right1024.ace )
CabViewWindow ( 0 0 640 480 )
CabViewWindowFile ( ../../common.MEP/DelticCabMEP/Right1024.ace )
Position ( 0 3.15 6.2 )
Direction ( 0 90 0 )

Change the highlighted line using any Unicode text, preferably Context.

You will need to do the same for reverse cabview as well.

Hi Stephen,

Any idea what the numbers should be changed to ?

Having never changed any cabs before I have no idea as to what the numbers refer to !!!

Hi Mike,

The numbers highlighted are the correct values - these are what's in my cabview and works well.
The values refer to up/down from horizontal, right/left from straight ahead and right/left from vertical. Sorry if I've over simplified this.

Stephen

Ok Stephen that is what I will check and where needed I will alter.
Thanks for your prompt reply
