Now that I'm looking at the source code and C# seams to be readable,
I had a look at CabViewFile.cs and made my self this decoded and colour coded page,
based on the enums and parser strings in the classes.

First question do anyone see any faults in the line-up?
The parser seams not to be case sensitive so I've cap'ed the names#1

Observations:
MULTI_STATE_DISPLAY only exist in the source for the manual
not in source code, the cvf parser seam to ignorer everything
after ‘E’ in MULTI_STATE and using MULTI_STATE works as MULTI_STATE_Display ?

Name #2 seams to be missing this hole bunch:
zeropos
orientation
dirincrease
area
positivecolour
switchval
negativecolour
fuelcoal
leadingzeros
accuracy
accuracyswitch
justification
positivecolour
decreasecolour
mousecontrol
ortscycletime
parameters

Next step would be to link the 15 controls to the attributes they resound too.

Thank You for this work.
This is more handy, than just a list.
There was description of MSTS cab tokens among TechDocs folder of MSTS installation.
There maybe description of ORTS_cab tokens in Manual.
Maybe, there are some private tutorials, or info at CTN website...
I think to combine that all to single document.

Yes^ remembering having many tabs open with Open Rails main site, Coal to Newcastle, this thread and Libra Office's Calc with ORparameters2.4 trying to figure 2D cabviews out.

I've now completed the CabViewControls and there corresponding attributes.

You're welcome. I've updated it a bit(fixed Area/missing#/rearrangement)and included a bw ink friendly version.
I'm Open to suggestions/requests.

I've used this many times during my 3D Cab adventures the lats couple of weeks,
so maybe others could find it beneficial also.
