I installed the SF DD40X 4 engine set and followed destructions as listed in the readme file, but for some reason the cab views do not work. Con Builder states the Cabviews are missing and when I go to drive them I get a MSTS shut down with a box saying "Failed to Load Cabview".I tried copying the cabviews (dash9.cvf)two different ways with no success. I copied from the Dash9 folder in MSTS and also copied from the zip file. I also get a box stating "The target cannot handle this type of document" in a couple of the Cabview folders when trying to copy even though the folders show the dash9.cvf icon in the folders.Anybody know what could be the matter? Any info would be greatly appreciated.Ken B.

Have you tried installing the V4.5 physics update to the locomotive. That has a Dash 9 cab installed already, you would just need to drop in an alias folder for the Dash 9 file. The file is in the library, DDA40X45.ZIP I think is the file name.

If you followed the destructions then you may have a problem in getting the model to work.Maybe you should try following the instructions. I just had to get that in there.
