MSTS bin Patch
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 9:51 pm
Hi. I've recently started to get into cabviews for MSTS. I've had MSTS for years but only really started using it since Enterprise was released.
I downloaded the patch and installed it and then changed the .cvf files in the 071/111 class locos for dual cabs. Everything worked OK for a couple of days and then I kept getting the 'failed to create cabview' message and the game crashed while attempting to load the modified locos.
I went through the .cvf files for these locos and eventually isolated the problem to the 6 extra lines that enable the second cab. When I removed these 6 lines the locos loaded but without the extra cabs.
Just out of curiosity I reinstalled the patch and pasted back the 6 lines and everything works again.
I don't know why this happened but I am posting this just in case it happens to anyone else because it took me 2 days to figure out how to fix this.
BTW this is a brilliant patch and I would recommend it !!
