    Default EMD Cabview

    I know that this problem has been talked about over and over on the threads here. But after searching and trying to figure out how to fix the problem, I am now stumped. Seem to be having a brain freeze moment where I can't remember nothing. But I need help in getting my cabview to the correct position. I have played around with the x, y, and z coordinates but nothing has came out right. I have posted I screen capture of the cabview in the engineer's seat and what my cabview settings are below. The position of the cabview has me looking at the other track instead of straight down the track. The conductors view is correct but not the engineer's view.

    Tr_CabViewFile (
    CabViewType ( 2 )
    CabViewFile ( "EMDmainview.ace" )
    CabViewWindow ( 0 25 640 480 )
    CabViewWindowFile ( "" )
    Position ( 1.1 3.5 6.8 )
    Direction ( -3 -12 0 )
    CabViewFile ( "EMDcondview.ace" )
    CabViewWindow ( 0 25 640 480 )
    CabViewWindowFile ( "" )
    Position ( -0.85 3.5 6.8 )
    Direction ( -3 5 0 )
    CabViewFile ( "EMDsideview.ace" )
    CabViewWindow ( 0 0 640 480 )
    CabViewWindowFile ( "" )
    Position ( 1.1 3.5 6.8 )
    Direction ( 0 70 0 )
    EngineData ( SD40 )
    CabViewControls ( 19

    In the position line of each forward, conducter, side view:
    From left to right, the values are left or right of center/height above ground/front or back of center.

    The direction of the engineer's view is defined in the seventh line from the top:

    Direction ( -3 -12 0 )

    If you want to change the viewing direction left/right, you have to modify the second value (-12). "-12" ist the value chosen by SLI.

    Thanks uli2, that did the trick. Finally looking down the track in front of me instead of out the towards the right side. Again Thank You.
