Templates and panorama
Start a layout from the game's templates or build a panorama of up to 360°.
Both are on the Start from... page. They replace your current views, after a confirmation. Undo brings the old ones back, and nothing is written to your file until you press Save.
Templates
Each template is a row with a drawing of its views. Click Use (or double-click the row) and confirm in the row:
| Template | Layout |
|---|---|
| One view | A single view across the whole game window. |
| Three screens | Left, center and right views, from the game's own triple-screen settings. |
| Three screens with dashboard | Three screens plus a fourth view tilted down, with the cabin only (no world outside). The game puts it in the right quarter of the window; move it on the Layout page. |
| Empty | No views at all. Add your own with + on the Layout page. |
Sightline puts the HUD across the whole window after applying a template. See HUD position to change it.
Panorama
A panorama is a row of views, each turned so that together they cover part of the horizon. The middle of the screen always looks straight ahead.
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Views | How many views, from 2 to 4 |
| Total angle | How much of the horizon they cover together, up to 360° |
| Each view covers | Shown for you: the total angle divided by the views |
| Camera sideways, up / down, forward / back | Moves every view's camera, in meters |
| Hide the cabin | Turns off the cab interior in every view |
Preview updates as you change the values: on the left, the views on your screens; on the right, the views seen from above, with the truck facing up and one wedge for each view. Build panorama, on the same line as the Preview title, creates it.
Examples
All the way around the truck, from above the cab:
- Views: 4
- Total angle: 360°
- Camera up / down: 3 m
- Hide the cabin: on
A single view cannot cover 179° or more, so for example 360° needs at least 3 views.
