Hi, I'm looking for file 5451, a falcon cab view apparently, that i need to use for a class 47 to run. Please can someone tell me where to find them, as i can't find anything.

Can someone also give me some idea of an age or era to "North Western Train Express" or "NWT-E"?

Much Obliged,

Graham Kendall

All of Fodda's cab views were removed by the author in a recent dispute with another author. The above are the only remaining options for a 47 cab and while perhaps not quite as good as Fodda's they are quite excellent.

Can i just ask whats the difference between vac and air on the cabs

It was me that deleted your last post on the subject because it was directly flamebait for Fodda. I have asked that the subject be dropped, it only stirs up heated emotions and the absolute only possible outcome is people get even more upset. Drop it, leave it alone. If people come back then great, if they don't then we get to deal with it. Whether you think Fodda was justified or not is completely irrelevant, it is his right and he exercised it.

I believe a gauge is different between the vacuum brake and air brake cab versions.

Hi Scott,

As i am a driver for EWS and used to drive class 47's - most of these locos had dual braking systems Vacuum and Air brakes. But on MSTS the game only allows one brake type per loco/train. So this is why the author released 2 versions of the class 47 cabviews because there are the animated air brake guage on the air brake version of the cab and there is also the animated vacuum brake guage on the vacuum version of the cabview too

. Also some the class 47 models on UKTS are also vacuumed-braked as well so i think that was why the vacuum cab was made for use with these locos too

.

Hope this helps

Oh, it didn't occur to me that the cabview dispute would affect my 47s- which I set up to alias to the Falcon cabview. If the dispute isn't solved soon-ish I'll do something to sort it out, but in the mean time, use the cabview linked to, and follow the instructions.

NWT is a fictional TOC, but set in the modern day, post-privatisation.

My advice is please make the effort to alter your uploads to alias another cab, and please do it soon so more new users don't download an engine they can't drive and don't know how to fix.

You can drive it, though- as long as the .cvf file is there, if the .ace files are missing, it will just run with a blank cab, no error message or anything.

Not ideal, obviously, but useable in the interim.

If you wish to keep dealing with users complaints and questions about this that's your choice. If it were my model, my sense of commitment to the community would lead me to fix it.

And I will do, if the dispute isn't resolved shortly. In the meantime, though, I'm hopeful that it will be, so I think it's better not to flood the homepage will all my 47s- again- for the time being.
