California Zephyr interior views

Have installed the WP California Zephyr but when I run the train and press the 5 key it takes me into a virtual cab view with the radio traffic from railroad operations. How do I get inside the train and experience it from the passenger perspective???

1. Install "MSTS Bin" (if you haven't already done that).
2. Press F9 to bring up the train operations monitor.
3. Cars that have a passenger view will show as a different icon in the F9 monitor. On my system they are light blue compared to the cars without a passenger view which are grey.
4. Click once on the icon of the car you want to "jump" into, then press the 5 key. That should take you into the car.
5. You can jump into every car or engine that has a passenger view or a virtual cab by the same method whenever you like, even if the train is moving.

You can also do this if you drive a set of ie ABBA-units when both A-units have a cab if you need to do a reverse move. Saving some time and you don't need to go in extern view.

As and uli wrote, lighter passenger car in F9 have pass-view. Really nice to sitting in a dome-car placed near the end of the train driving on GN_HiLine with Empire Builder Smile

Do I need to say how it is to sitting in a dome-car riding on WP Feather River?
