Cabview height question – image 1

I've been using raildriver's 2-6-0 cabview, and I noticed that the view is a little low. How can I raise the view up to normal height?mrWM734current projects:

Okay. I have the 2-6-0 cab, too, but didn't wanna modify it, so here's what I did:Just go to the "CABVIEW" folder and open up "260.cvf", or whatever you renamed it. Once opened, I believe you edit the position like so:

Thanks, I thought it involved the .cvf file, but I wasn't sure. I'll try moving it up to ( 0 6.0 0 ).I'll see how it works once I get MSTS working again.mrWM734current projects:
