Hi Neil, I have the CD and last time the author produced a patch to upgrade the engines,Wonder if he is considering doing the same again for the people that what it.

Yes thats right, it was a patch that i had to download and this changed all the cvf files to match mtsbin 1.5 ..the problem is they all have seperate cabview files [not to a "common cab"] ..i dont want to be changing all of these ..i dont have the time.

I havent installed the new bin patch as yet, i havent had time

Each Class of PEak uses the same cvf for all the locos in the class, so for example modify 1 Class 45, copy and paste into all of the other Class 45's

do the same for Classes 44 & 46
I wish i could help, perhaps i will, but im busy with other MSTS projects at present and other life situations!

I've just done the same thing - just create a folder called cabview and use the same ".cvf" reference as the cvf currently used and paste into each of the peaks - saves changing the references in the eng files. Or do it for the one you're using in an activity, and copy it the next time you use that loco.

That's wrong. Every engine on the Peak CD has a cabview aliassed to the common.cab standard.

Having a look in the folders and in the cvf files would have shown this.
