    I have messed around with the camera views, and also with my chatpad which can change camera angles as well, but I can't find the zoomed in cab view that was in Rail Simulator. The one where the camera basically shifted forward right up to the windscreen, giving you a much better view of your surroundings as you drove. Is it there and I've just missed it? Thanks

    Ability to zoom in would be useful to read the dials more easily

    Just get up out the drivers seat and crouch down or stand up ;)

    If you place the front camera just in front of the windshield you can get some pretty nice views while still being able to operate the train.

    SimFan, are you using the extra paddles on the Elite controller for operating the train?

    No, I just never got used to using them. But everything works well with the standard button layout on top.
    I also haven't tried to use the "locking" mechanism so the LT and RT don't need to be pressed in as far to engage the brakes/throttle.

    Actually there is not! :(

    But this is definitely something we can look into adding, i'll raise this with the devs.

    They will need to work on draw distance too as the zoom feature will be helpful for looking at signals further down the route.
