Dash 9 Interior

[davesnow]

Is there a "modern" Dash 9 interior that is set at the correct height? I ran test after test, switching out the modern wide-body interiors, trying to find one that is correct. All of them are set too high.... i.e., when you put the same Dash 9 Loco next to it, and get in the cab, you are looking DOWN on the other loco.

(I hope I explained this right.)

Thanks for any help on this. It is very frustrating when you pass another Dash 9 or SD70MAc loco and you're looking down on that train when you should be seeing it straight across.

Phil C's Payware cab is perfect in this regard. I would recommend his work anyway.

EDIT: Hang on a sec, surely the height of the cab is determined by the mesh attachment points and what cab you use will make no difference?

^That's what I thought, too. But I have tried about six different cab interiors, and all are too high except for the old style (<kuid:-3:10085>) controls which is at the correct height.

:cool: What road is the engine...in other words what color is the carbody?

[davesnow]

^Well, this particular body it doesn't matter. I reskinned a SP Black body and made it UP and BNSF. When I use anything other than the old style controls, the view is too high. I think it's the creation itself, because I looked at some other UNSkinned bodies (BNSF, Ferromex) and they have the modern interiors and they aren't too high.

I'm ready to forget these re-skinned bodies and go back to the others because I want modern controls.

:cool: ...the (only) freeware GE desktop interior was a product of Mark Hoffman.

One of our dedicated Content Creators, SPorBUST, used the asset in his Dash-9 locomotives.

The high-profile of the cab-view was brought to light at this time...so SPorBUST re-released the cab with an approved revised attachment point set lower & since he had released several different roadnames for these engines, he featured correct hood colors for the forward in cab view(red-Santa Fe warbonnet, black-NS, green-UP, etc.)

I only found the red hood version on the download station under his kuid 113556. TrainStation (http://www.trainzstation.com/Files.html) has more complete freeware locomotives for downloading, dig around & download everything you can find for TRS. Try different cabs & let us know the results.

The Southern Pacific locomotives used "lark dark grey" not black...SPorBust(which means "SOUTHERN PACIFIC or BUST!," search for Author ID "SPORBUST" in CMP), has done all the locomotives for the roads you specify & did a darn good job at that!
