I made a custom F59PHI cab based on NALW's GE Dash 8 Cab. I removed the acellerometer (I think thats how you spell it ) Then I edited the Cab ACE file. Added alpha. Edited the .eng file to recognize the cvf file. I loaded it in the sim but got the Failed to create cab error.
Can anyone help.

RE: Cab Problems

If you edited the CVF by hand, ensure that the CabViewControls number matches the number of controls you actually have. Removing/adding one, you would need to decrease/increase by the same. Cheers!

Yes, I have done that, it still dosent work. But what if the original ace file was 1024 by 768, and mine 1024 by 1024. For some reason TGA tool 2 wont let me do 1024 768
