I don't know what the reason to include useless "left" and "right" views as most developers do.There is some idea for the switcher cab with both usable front and rear views, so it can be driven both ways.Front view is where the main control stand is.
In this loco it's on the long hood side from the right.Suggestions on cab design for the switcher – image 1Left view - long hood, side left. no pics, but imagine this pic is mirroredRight view - short hood, right or left side.Suggestions on cab design for the switcher – image 2Headout view - almost the same but mirrored (or vice versa)With cab like this it's easy to do switching while stay in the cab everytime.
Passenger view on the rear or front deck also helps a lot.

Do you mean like this ? Picture 1 - MP15AC front view, I added a side window and on picture 2 rear view I made this instead of the right side cabview ( key1 & right roll key). It really works great for yard moves. KRO52

Yep, this is great!Also 3D "passenger cab" (key 5) works good too.
