Western Pacific GP20

I has taken a look to that tutorial some time ago.
Thanks for the file.

Will you know a trick to avoid when the POV displacement produces the deforming buble?

[Chacal]

Yes, move the camera away from the wall or ceiling.

I know about that. The bubble sphere has a short radius. My question is addressed to getting that radius zero.

An example? The U30B in the FRC DLC has a front view with a very annoying POV of the track because of that bubble.
I know this simulator calls for accuracy, but designers should consider using a short width panel between the window and the right corner even if there isn't any gap in the real loco......thanks to the DirectX bubble.

Just to let you know, I have several locos cab views permanently converted, specially the G-Trax steamers and the K4 because they don't have a view of the tracks. I just don't care about the deformity effect of the bubble.

You didn't wait for me. Good. I took my bride out to supper last night and by the time we got back I didn't get to it.

You (or others) have not yet posted about why the Raildriver throttle refuses to work with the GP20.

The advanced scripting likely messes with the compatibility. I don't see it as a terribly big deal. The RD is highly inadequate for running this loco anyway.

According to the Steam blurb, this locomotive has dual control stands.

How is this implemented in the model? Is it bi-directional and can "the engineer" be seated at both control stands facing the proper end?

Thanks FanRailer. My friend mentioned that and was asking if there was some way to overcome it.

From EMD GP-20 WP Operating Manual, page 21:

This model of GP20 mounts two control stands on cab.
To shift between both control placements just use the traditional keyboard combination for this task. Keys Ctrl + Right Bracket.
This operation must be performed only with the locomotive completely stopped.

Thanks all for your comments.
