I recently downloaded a Norfolk Southern GP50 from the file library and installed it according to the readme. The loco works fine and looks great on the East River Route. But it has a screwed up cabview. There are just a few traces of levers and instruments scattered about the screen with a big blank view ahead. I have followed the advice of Kevarc and read his instructions at 3D Trains Forum. But I think I'm just screwing things up worse. I put in the command string as listed but the end result is the same. What have I done wrong here? I know someone has a solution to this problem because it is affecting more than just this loco. Every loco that uses a GP38 cabview is wacky. I should also mention that my default GP38 uses a modified cabview from the SD40-2 update pack off of MSTS's website. If this is causing the problem does anyone have a clue how to fix it? Short of uninstalling MSTS ( NOT AN OPTION, TOO MUCH ADDED ON ALREADY), I am pulling my hair out trying to make this work. If anyone can help me out of this fix that is of my own doing please be kind and drop a response. Just to remind that I am very unfamiliar with this aliasing and modding stuff so be kind to this dummy please.
NS GP50, you mean 7011? I use the high nose cabview for more realism. You can download it here (hinose.zip). It is pretty cool. If you have a troublesome cabview (i.e. gauges suspended in Mid-air), replace it with a different one.
That could be the problem. with the other files from the SD40-2. You need to edit the cvf file so that the ace files match what is in the GP38 cabview folder. I used Dekos NS cabview for mine.Kevin Arceneaux DEFAULT IS FOR DUMMIES Cry havoc and Let loose the dogs of war. Lone Wolf Activities Forum and Activity Packs are on www.3DTrains.com
Rob, I downloaded the NS GP-50 the other day and decided to alias the cabview to "NS_1367", a high hood GP-40 that appeared in the library back in July under a file called "NS Slugs", I believe. The cabview is great for running short hood forward. This unit also has a great N&W sound horn. I had no problems with it so far.
