Aug-02-01, 08:01 PM (EST) "F7 cab trouble" I just downloaded the F7, wow they are great. I followed the instructions and have a working F7 with sound that works great, but with a GP38 cab view. I found the 2 cab downloads and installed them....but. all i have is and open view of the tracks with a few needles and buttons in front of me. No cab interior or controls. whre have i gone wrong?

Aug-03-01, 04:45 PM (EST) 2. "RE: F7 cab trouble" The original F-7 cab zip file is "f7acabb.zip". The readme instructions are below.Installation instructions :Copy these files into the CABVIEW folder of any F7A demo and
overwrite as necessary.Select the F7A demo and drive!!You likely assumed that these files would be included in the update, named "f7acvf.zip", but they are not. Install the first files, following instructions above, then install the update, instructions are as follows:
Corrected .cvf for use with 3dtrain.com's F7A demo when used in conjunction with the new cab view. The file corrects some errors in the original distribution file and adds a speed dial and load meter. Installation Instructions:************************************************1. Un-zip files to a temporary folder
2. Copy F7A.cvf to the CABVIEW directory overwriting the existing file if necessary
3. If your .eng file is not F7A.eng open up the .cvf file with Wordpad and change this line to reflect the .eng file EngineData ( F7A ) - change F7A to the .eng filename, do not include the extension************************************************ Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
