The second picture makes the cabview way too high
Joe
It doesn't look so in any of the NYCT BVE routes. This is a European route I tested the train on, for light and dark lighting.
They both look high to me obviously b\c the entire panel can't be seen.And can you trim the cab pic a bit by cutting the left side at the door handle.
In OpenBVE (dunno for the previous versions), but you can zoom in/out, pan left/right up and down. I designed nearly a full cab view, where the important areas are necessary to see. Using the up and down keyboard arrows, you can pan around.
Also remember, this is a European route, not NY. In NY, this train doesn't look so high because maybe the developers of the European routes do a different job for their type of trains. I mean notice in the second pic, the station appears pretty low. They could have elevated it just a little for some realism. I haven't encountered one problem using my R44 (or R40) with a NYC route.
