This feature has been requested here https://trello.com/c...nts-for-3d-cabs . As the feature is easy to implement, following the analogous feature already available for passenger view, i've started working on this.
So, here is an example of a block defining a front cab, a rear cab and two alternate views for the front cab

	ORTS3DCab(
		ORTS3DCabFile ( Falcon3dcab.s )
		ORTS3DCabHeadPos ( -0.7 3.2 8.35 )
		RotationLimit ( 10 90 90 )
		StartDirection ( 13 0 0 )
			)
	ORTS3DCab(
		ORTS3DCabFile ( Falcon3dcab.s )
		ORTS3DCabHeadPos ( 0.7 3.2 -8.35 )
		RotationLimit ( 10 90 90 )
		StartDirection ( 13 180 0 )
			)
	ORTSAlternate3DCabViewPoints
			 (
	ORTSAlternate3DCabViewPoint(
		ORTS3DCabFile ( Falcon3dcab.s )
		ORTS3DCabHeadPos ( 0.7 3.2 8.35 )
		RotationLimit ( 10 90 90 )
		StartDirection ( 13 0 0 )
			)
		ORTSAlternate3DCabViewPoint(
		ORTS3DCabFile ( Falcon3dcab.s )
		ORTS3DCabHeadPos ( -0.7 3.2 8.35 )
		RotationLimit ( 10 90 90 )
		StartDirection ( 13 30 0 )
			)
			)

I've used mrmosky's Brush Falcon, downloadable from UKTrainsim, to test.

To switch among the various viewpoints, Ctrl+Shift+1 must be pressed.
If there aren't further defined viewpoints except the main one, pressing Ctrl+Shift+1 will switch to the opposite side of the cab (from left to right or from right to left), similarly to what occurs with passenger views. Note that in the above example you will enter the rear cab the first time you press Ctrl+Shift+1 .
I assume a Trello card is enough for this feature, so I don't foresee to register a blueprint.

The feature is now available in ORNYMG 126. I foresee to port it also to the official OR versions, if the Trello card will be approved.

Thank you Carlos, fantastic addition.

For 3D cab creators this will also make testing very much easier.

Cheers,

Marek.

Carlo,
Last time I checked, passenger view does not enable dynamic shadows for the engine/wagon/object it was setup for. Are dynamic shadows enabled in this new 3D cab view setup? Also, I do not know why dynamic shadows are not enabled in passenger view, but they are in 3D cab view. I hope that the same kind of multiple 3D views can be made available for passenger view, with dynamic shadows enabled.
thanks,Steve

Thank You Carlo,


But there is a small problem. The key combination Ctrl+Shift+1 is used on trains that have Cruise Control to change speed.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Thank you...

[Csantucci]

Yeah, you're right. I'll see what to do. I never used that Cruise Control command, so I didn't notice it.

Thank you for your work, Carlo. I am sure something can be done.

[Csantucci]

I will remove the keyboard commands to set the CC speed, except for speed = 0. Of course keyboard commands to increase and decrease set speed will remain.

The feature is now available also in Unstable release U2023.08.17-1941.

Hi Carlo,

Thanks for this.The card is now approved, so any dev is free now to review this PR and then approve and merge it.
