Hi All
How the heck do you see the track from the cab with the snow plough in front?

With a face full of snow? :D
Hehe. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

But with the snow-spray effect, it might be hard to see much from cab or head-out-cab-window views. Might need to try an external view (perhaps # 2) to get a better view of things?

I haven't had a chance to try the new snowplough addon yet, I've only seen some screenshots of it in action, but it sure does look like it kicks up a large spray/mist of snow and would most likely make views from within cab or head-out-window with Zero Visibility.

I suppose you could turn on the wipers, put on some goggles and imagine it makes a difference. ;)

I vary rarely use the in cab view anyways, I prefer the "fly cam" (#2 key) because it gives me such a great view of what's going on and all the scenery. LOL, @ Don. :D

Neat-o. So ya see Ron, you actually wouldn't see much of anything from the cab views once the train with a snowplough attached gets rolling.

Do they work with all types of snow?

:D
English snow is very wet most of the time, or just slush.
