RE: Adding Passenger view to a Car

Sure is,You will need to take the interior .S .SD and proper ace files from the folder that you would like to use.Then add them to the Superliner Coach Folder.You will also need to add the proper lines of coding to the Superliner .WAG file as well.Sorry I am at work and can't go into more detail for you. It is in fact ALOT easier than I have madeLaterTim Kent

Really, I hate to bug in here, but there is maybe an other solution to this. Simply drop the following into your (wagon).wag file. Then, you have to change the lines 1,2,3 and 5 to read like the car you use. The included file from Barry Andrews is for the GP38, as is shows. The 1 line needs the name of your .s file. Obviously.
Line 2 shows where your head is: #1= left-right= + and - 0=middle.
Number 2=Height of head. Number 3=fore and -back. 0 at middle of car.
You will have to fiddle with this one
Line 3 = 30* up-dwn, make next number360 for all round vision.
Line 4 = looking straight ahead at start of Key5. 0*
Line 5 = The sound from the car\engine you are using for this view,
full soundfile name between "???.sms"
Keep in mind that only the first INSIDE VIEW in each consist will be active.
Inside (
PassengerCabinFile ( gp38.s )
PassengerCabinHeadPos ( 0 3.6 8.39 )
RotationLimit ( 30 80 0 )
StartDirection ( 0 0 0 )
Sound ( "" )
)Sorry Tim, for bugging in.
Ted
