Oops! Sorry. I didn't know Win7 even had a Program Files (x86)\ folder. I thought that started with Win10.

Hello.

I use it with these settings and it works. The temperature must be entered in degrees (° = Alt + 5).
Example:
Units (° C)

Sincerely, Laci 1959
Ps Also works for control car with "Type (Control)" setting.

Hello Laci 1959.

With your code I have managed to get the needles to move, although in a rather strange way, for example the temperature needles move very slowly, and it doesn't matter if the engine is off or on, the temperature always rises. The oil pressure needles, on the other hand, move at full speed, and have only two states: 0% or 100%. On the other hand, although they work, this is what I get back from the log:

Information: Skipped unknown ControlStyle °C in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\trains\trainset\FV2401\CABVIEW\FV2401.cvf:line 202

I will continue testing and if I make any progress, I will post it here. Thank you very much!

I didn't care about them so much. I was glad I was able to get them moving. Unfortunately, oil pressure has only two states. Unfortunately, we can't influence the cooling water temperature either. The OR does not know the heat sink or heat sink to control the amount of air flowing through the heat sink.
So as much as.

When I was testing I used digital gauges not needles so I just saw the numerical value. When starting a session both values for pressure and temperature started at 40. Temperature increased slowly over time and oil pressure increased and decreased in proportion to engine RPM. I would suggest creating temporary digital gauges so you can compare the needle positions to the values OR is calculating.

Just checked the code, the following statement is invalid:

Units ( °C )

The code will implicitly set it to "NONE". It is not possible to set temperature units in Units(). Anyway, the Diesel temperature is output in Celsiuses, and cannot be set to anything else, by the code. For the reference, here is the list of the valid cabview control UNITS():

NONE

Hello.

What is the right solution?
1. Units ()
2. Delete the Units line item?

Manual says about three cooling modes...

Yes, that's useful for fine-tuning. I confirm that.
Always do that way.

You may safely delete that line - Nyugodtan törölhető.
