Thanks to JBilton, for the great Class 87 cabview, it looks much better than the Class 50 or Acela ones.

Thanks again.

Tony.

Try running the BVE 87 (built 2001) and then the MSTS 87 cab ("built" 2003) and come to your own conclusions...

I would like to thank jbilton for making the 87 cab suitable for MSTS, I don't care if it is from the BVE one. It is correct for the class and makes driving an 87 feel right. I had several attempts at making something using the BVE screen shot but without success. So thanks again for the cabview.

I am sorry Tom, I had no idea about this having never had BVE.

I thought it was a first attempt at an 87 cabview.

I for one am thankful for anything that comes free. even if JBilton's work was originally BVE, he still had to adapt it.
TSK, you give an inch they take a mile.

flame content creators and the content flow will stop. thanks jbilton.

Thanks....anything that gets rid of the Acela has got to be worth having.

Hi,

Jon's MSTS version of the 87 cab is based on the cab I designed for BVE along with Paul Robins' help a couple of years ago, and I put loads of work into the original as well.

Jon now has my blessing as far as using it for MSTS is concerned, so no problem there.

I think all three of us deserve equal credit along with anyone else who helped, regardless of who did what at whatever time for whatever reason and regardless of the simulator it was/is designed to run on, so it'd be logical and fair to thank all of us to some extent.

Cheers,
Anthony.
