Howdy, folks.I'm working with the cabviews on the recent N&W Alco Centuries, and right now I've got the long-hood forward models in the hopper for upgrading. The MLT B&O Heritage pack has an RSD12 cab that's accurate for a high-nose unit, so I've been using it. However, the view from the cab is at the front of the locomotive, not the rear. That's OK for short-hood forward operations, but I'm trying to run the thing from the back. The head-out view is perfect on say N&W 1131. However, I'd like to know what steps I've have to take in order to convert either RSD12.cvf or the ENG file to allow me to see the rest of the long hood if I'm inside the cab. Thanks in advance!
