No SD70 10-pack helper cab views on Marias Pass

If anybody has used Krellnut's SD70 10-pack, you know the helpers are named separately as 70a,70b,70c, etc.

I built a train in consist builder with one of the helpers (Rio Grande heritage unit) as the lead engine. Works just fine on Donner Pass, Horseshoe Curve, Cajon Pass and Sherman Hill.

BUT...... when I tried it on Marias Pass, it doesn't allow me inside the cab or the side windows. It shows cab view is selected on the icons, but the camera remains outside in normal 3rd person view. Loads the route in 3rd person too even though the icon indicates cab view. Tried it with other helpers in the pack and still no cab views on Marias. I tried RSC's default SD70's like the Rio Grande and I get cab views just fine on Marias. So it's an SD70 10-pack issue.

For the heck of it, I tried the ES44 10-pack to see if it suffers the same cab issue on Marias too. NOPE.....works just fine. Just the SD70 10-pack seems affected. Clearing the cache doesn't fix it either.

The fact that it works fine on routes prior to Marias Pass, tells me something has changed in newer routes that isn't clicking with the pack. Don't own the Surfliner route yet to test out that theory. Krellnut had no idea and I didn't expect him to since he was only the sound guy on the thing to my knowledge and sound isn't the issue.


Anybody have a clue as to what's wrong or a fix? !*don-know!*

Thanks!

Cabview should be aliased to RSC\SD70Pack03\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD70MAC\Default\CabView\sd70cab.geopcdx.
Check that this file exists.
Also, open the Marias Pass route in the World Editor and enable the RSC\SD70Pack03 content.

Well the file does exist as I did check. But the fact the Rio Grande helper from the 10-pack has a cab view in those 4 other routes kinda proved it was there already.

As for enabling SD70Pack03 in the world editor for Marias Pass? Well I forgot how to do it cuz I have only messed with the editor a few times ever. But more importantly, It must be already enabled. How do I know? Because RSC's default Rio Grande SD70ACe with default sounds allows me cab view on Marias Pass but NONE of the SD70s from the 10-pack do, which includes the helper version the Rio Grande SD70ACe with it's non-default sounds.

So... I'm stumped. !**conf**!
