The defaut FOV in TRS2006:
-cabin=65
-driver=55
-surveyorfov=55
============================
I changed mne to:
-cabin=75
-driver=65
-surveyorfov=125
(the -surveyorfov numeral can be changed to =55, up to =185)
============================
The first track is 80m distant, the second track is 160m distant, and the third track is 480m distant ... all on a 30 Degree angle upward.
This is from the track 480m distant, at an elevation of 96m high.
This is from the track 160m distant, at an elevation of 48m high.
This is from the track 80m distant, at an elevation of 24m high.
You might say why lay aerial flyways, when you can view your train in tracking mode, or in free roam ?
But tracking mode follows right along with the train ... and free roam is very shakey.
On aerial flyways you can drive a Jet Sled at a controlable 0 - 687 mph, stop, start, back up and go forward again ... some thing you can not do in tracking mode. I look down on my AI Trainz driving below ... from the cab view of the A23 Jet Sled ... and it looks like a hellicopter following the train.
I use BNSF Invisatrack, as it is fat and highly visible.
The 30 degree angle upward provides realistic top view, and side view, of trainz.
Don't you hate when a railfan takes a perfectly composed photo of a train, but it is at a low angle POV, that shows only the side, but does not show the top details of the train at all !
I have been laying these many different elevations of aerial flywayz on my Horseshoe Curve route so one can get a low altitude helicopter viewpoint, or a high altitude passenger jet viewpoint of the trainz running below.
I plan to post a Fraps video ---> [here] <--- when I get a chance (to come).
I wish there was a drivable cam loco, that revolved or panned automaticly, like trackside cameras do.
