I purchased the AD60 pack from the Railfan shop im Melbourne city and a problem I have found with it is the cab view is wwwwaaaaaayyyyy to dark. It has sometimes been OK although that was some time ago, anybody got any ideas apart from unace-ing the images and putting them through a photo minipulation program and reace ing them. (which I have done actually)

From what I have seen the cab of a working 60 class is a dark and dirty place.

:lol: :lol: , You sir, Are In the guiness Book of World's Top set Legends.
Anyways, Woodward. I'm pretty assuming it might be how you'd set your Gamma Configuration on your Computer screen itself (Only a suggestion)

Either way. It might be the contrast and Gamma on your screen or you can contat Yuri to see if he can assist you with anything more.

If you would like can you tell us a little about what it was like to work in a 60 class?
Cheers Russ

While I have never been in a 60 class I have been in the cab of three mainline steamers at speed pulling decent loads and the indelible impressions I have are

The swaying and rocking and general movement, note the crew warned me about that,

The noise

The smell of the heat and the coal and the steam

The heat specially when you open the fire door to put on more fuel

The sensitivity of the locomotives to the controls, this was amazing even a small movement and you could feel the loco go. No wonder men had an attachment to these machines.

And they were somewhat dark and dirty and when you look at something like H220 and the AD60 class you wonder how they could have driven them.

Oh and of course one last point the effort required to keep them in fuel while lighting up and when being driven, they always wanted more fuel.

Because of the above I almost never drive a steamer in the sim because it is so unlike what I have experienced.

Thanks for the replys, it seems no one is having the problem may be just more MSTS strangeness, as I said some times it was OK and I have fixed it up by redoing the cab images.

One last comment on the previous post, on the movement and swaying of the cab at certain speeds you could feel the coupling rod on the rear driving wheel on the side of the cab you were on coming around.
