First off let me say that you guys have done a fantastic job! So very much better than the earlier examples. You are really making progress and I AM impressed!

On the Number Pad 1-key headout rear view the view is the down the fireman's side, not the engineer's. Was this planned that way?

It would be kind of neat to have both but coupling moves dictate it should be the engineer's view.

Check out those FPS numbers! :good:

Hi Herb,
This is how it's set up and I sorta like it. It gives you a fireman's view instead of the engineer's view but, I agree, it really should be the engineer's view looking backwards.

Herb and Rick

On my keyboard the "END" key gives me the fireman's out view rear and the "HOME" key gives me the engineer's out view front.
The keyboard is a standard 104 key "Kensington" brand Windows unit. It's a little tough using these new key's when one is used
to the MSTS w/bin setup. But I'm liking it more and more.

That is correct, Allen. I'm kinda gettin' used to everything, too. Considering everything, it is a new sim with new features to learn and, for the better, I might add.:rofl:

I forgot to add that while in those modes you can use the arrow key's to pan around to front, side and rear as well as up and down and they stay in the position you last left them when you return.
