Good afternoon.
I have some problems recently with the 2D view of the cockpit.
I have touched something and I can't figure out what it is.
I can't see the cockpit scaled to the screen...
Before it wasn't even adjusted, it was more enlarged and I had to adjust the view up or down and that was very good for me.
Do you know what could be happening?
many thanks friends

Good evening, pgs

it seems that you involuntarily pressed the key combination "Control" + "1". This toggles between a view which fits the 4:3 ratio 2D cab either to the full screen width (where you have to scroll up or down to see all parts of the cab) or to the full screen height (with black bars left and right) on a 16:9 screen.

Greetings, Peter

I confirm.
This is so-called "letterbox mode".
You can study details in Manual, looking for "letterbox" keyword.
Good luck.

Thank you very much, indeed that was it.
I couldn't find what the command was in the translation from English to Spanish.
Thanks again

Thanks for showing one of my 2D cabs made in the MSTS days. This one in particular is not updated by me to Open Rails, which could cause some inconsistencies.

Someday I will make a 3D version of those cabs and probably of your RENFE 333 series locomotives, then I will take the opportunity to update them with all the advantages of OR. For the moment, they will stay like this...
