Cab View Issue?

[SPENCER73ED]

Hello

I seem to be unable to view all of the driver controls inside the train cab? I recently downloaded a Class 87 with the 'Shap' route pack and can only see the top half of the readout dials inside the cab and no indicators below this..

Not sure if this is a resolution issue, screen setting issue or something else? I installed a hard copy of TS2013 and upgraded to TS2014 on-line - not sure if this has any bearing on this apparent limitation? The game seems to be functioning fine otherwise - just a bit frustrated..

Many thanks
Spencer

Hi Spencer, Your question would probably attract more attention in this section

But as I'm here Ill answer it
I assume you know you can reposition the camera view to whatever you like, hold down right mouse button and move the mouse.
The game will remember this repositioning until the end of the scenario unless you change cabs or seats. at which point when you go back to the drivers seat you will be looking too high again.

I hope that helps

Dave

You may also like to try increasing the Field Of View (FOV) angle. There are a couple of ways to do this but here's mine (lifted from an answer I gave someone else recently!):

- Run Notepad.
- Open a folder window and navigate to Railworks\dev\scripts (starting from wherever your Steam installation is).
- Select engineScript.lua.
- Press Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V (this will create a copy of the original file in case you need to put it back).
- Drag engineScript.lua into the Notepad window.
- Change the value in the last section from 65 to 70 (or 75, or 80, or whatever you like - try different values to see the effect).
- Select File->Save in Notepad.

The last part of the file should now look like this:

Code: Select all

    -- This function is automatically run if the game is a release build
    function autorun()
       setFov(70)
       setDof(0, 4000)
    end

You can now launch TS and see what it looks like.
