Could someone please explain to me how to use RWTools to change a cab view. My view in the DTM Alco FA is set to far forward into the windsheild.

Thanks Robbit, I followed Gtrax's directions but when i open up the file with either Notepad or wordpad it just shows alot of computer code. No XYZ What type of program do I need to open the file so I can edit it.

Without looking I presume you are looking at a .bin file. If so you need to open it with serz to convert it to a xml file. Then when you open it with notepad you can edit it. After you make the change you run it over the serz and it will change the bin file to your new settings.

Thanks Buzz456, Sounds easy.

If you get RW Tools and open it with that it does all the converting needed you just edit it and save it and done

That's good, I thought it may have changed again with the latest update.

No one else has mentioned Claudio Musa's RWCameraCabPosition utility, so I will give it a plug. Downloadable here: http://www.mcs-software.it/rs/RwCameraCabPosition/index.htm. This offers a relatively easy way to adjust all cab and passenger cameras without tedious file editing. It also now includes a one-click tool to restore all personal camera settings after a cache verify. A demonstration version is free, but Claudio does ask for a small donation to unlock the full version.

A great post-holiday present for the rail simmer who has everything!

I have been wanting to try that , because of default cab view of all the F7's Not sure why RW believes all American engineer's stand up all the time. Thanks for the link.
