Hi,

As I am brand new to the remodeling world, could someone explain how I can make a singal car multiple unit have the mstsbin swapping cabs feature?

Cheers

Hi
It hasn't anything to do with the model.
Its done via a second reveresed cvf file.
So you have xxx.cvf and xxx_rv.cvf.
Its explained in the Bin manual.

Cheers

As Jon said, its all to do with the cabview. There was a tool around somewhere (possibly here?) that automatically makes the xxx_rv.cvf by reversing all the co-ord points in the original xxx.cvf file its is a very quick and handy way of doing it

Hi All,

Here indeed it was.:-

Rear Cab File Generator for MSTSbin 1.6 [36555 bytes] - rv_cvf_maker_1_3.zip File ID: 15358 Date: 23 Oct 2006 - 2291 Downloads

If the unit is a flipped Power Car (HST) a rear Cab View is not needed.

Good luck

Ok, How would I make a four car unit compatible with MstsBin?

First. Say THANK YOU for the help you have recieved. and then read the .txt file in the Downloaded Zip.

and in what way do you mean compatable. Just the cabs, or the lighting aswell?

If you havent read the readme yet to work the program. drag the original cab file into the program, and it does it automatically

Thankyou, and what a mean by compatible is the lighting.

Hi ??????
For the lighting to work with MSTSBin the models has to have the .eng/.wag file. writen with lighting routines.

I am affraid I do not have the answers for that.

Good luck

Same, i havent got my head round MSTSbin lighting yet either (all my past bin work has had lighting done by others)

Hi
Agreed.... you can end up with fifty odd light statements.
Much easier to fit front white lights, rear reds as headlight(2).
Rear whites. front reds as headlight(3)... both unit(0)

Hi,

CHeers & Thanks
