Hi everybody, me again with yet another small problem hopefully.

yesterday, with alot of help from guys on the Forum, I installed the following Diesel cw_wsmr_67010.

Having now got it up and running I notice the the small throttle percentage display 13. 25 38.50 etc. at bottom of Cabview is not there.

Is there a way of Displaying this Please.

Many thanks

Regards

Paul.

Hi,

Easy way round it if you have BIN installed, tap F5 once.

If you prefer the faffing way then if I recall correctly it's something to do with modifying something in the cabview file, but I don't remember what exactly.

A search of the forums should reveal more, or someone may well give you the answer.

You have to define the Throttle Lever in the CV file.Look at the default Dash9 for a sample entry.

Hi Gerard,thanks for reply.

I am using Diesel cw_wsmr_67010 but a little confused. Is it the Cab CVF or engine CVF that I need to alter.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

There's only one cvf file, mate :) It's in the cabview file, which may be in the loco's CABVIEW folder or in a folder within the common.cab folder in TRAINSET. Have a look in the loco's eng file for the Cabview entry - if it's xxxxx.cvf then it's in the loco's CABVIEW folder; if it's ..\\..\\common.cab\\yyyyy\\xxxxx.cvf, it's in folder yyyyy within common.cab.

Cheers,
